I really like how they've expanded the focus of the story from just publishing to retail, with a lot of parallels on the themes of changing/shrinking audiences, the tragedy of good quality stuff going under-appreciated, the power of facing this reality and fighting it to find some compromise...

Man, the owner really has her fingers in a lot of pies, huh? Is she gonna end up being the antagonist of this arc?

My guess is they'll have the grand unveiling ceremony there or something. Great chapter, so exciting to see her get pumped up about writing again. I didn't see the twist of the "quiz" coming at all, it really is a nice idea.

I'm hoping seeing both her contemporaries and the new generation being so inspired by her work will inspire Chouko-sensei to put pen to page again... gotta prove that still no one can do it quite like her!!

I liked that the forest/bug constituency managed to pull it off mostly by themselves in the end, as they were the ones fighting this battle the whole time. The Mercury God was brought down by not realizing that they posed any threat to his plans, just like they'd been ignoring the bugs' efforts...

hey if this was just a story that elma told kobayashi, how did we see the demon babe at the end? 🤔

The scene talking about your mental capabilities of creativity weakening with age was so haunting... seeing the synapses thin and weaken. Let's all hope our accumulating wisdom and experience overcomes our thinning brains!

We're getting an Immortal vs Immortal fight, I wonder how it could end. I feel like the weird behavior of the Gods, where they had alliances in the past but now seem to be acting independently and stay out of each others' ways, may be because they're at once power-hungry and egomaniacal, but...

I like that even after the hoarder plotline had such a happy resolution, it doesn't mean Chouko-chan can just automatically have a breakthrough and start writing right away. It's truly not that simple! Even if you have the biggest epiphany and clarity and motivation in your life, sometimes the...

This one made me tear up. My dad is definitely a hoarder, and I also have a hard time throwing things away. It really is hard for me when I know the history of something, if you have memories of ever cherishing it or using it or even seeing it every day as part of the clutter. I can't help but...

Is the forest girl perhaps a God as well?

Sometimes this manga just throws in some of the most disturbing shit imaginable. The God injecting mercury into Bojji is gonna stick to my mind like glue.

Aw man, I was hoping they could have at least one whole chapter of riding high. I gotta say though, since I have so much faith that things will end OK for everyone, this just makes me all the more excited about how it'll be resolved.

I felt like something like this was going to happen around the climax... if there's ghosts and possessions, why not resurrections? I also like that the aircon lady was kinda psychotic, it'd be too out of place if there was just someone normally kind in this manga lol.

Kadoosh is a great sound effect lol

I'm so glad they really delved into the psychology behind hoarding rather than just leaving it as "she's crazy so she's doing something crazy". A lot of people can arrive there through a series of very reasonable shortcomings, but then the effect starts to chip away at your mental health...

Very excited to see how Bojji figures out how to beat this guy... seems like he's going to have to fight more and more people with "this sort of body", so he needs to learn.

this series has such great unique fight scenes, especially when bojji fights. i dunno if that'll be enough to take out a god, though...

Thanks for all your hard work on this. I'll miss these silly birds.

I think we are in for a redemption arc. I get that it's distasteful, given how far beyond the pale she's going here, but a big theme of the story is that no matter what's happening with old folks - senility, isolation, feelings of being a burden, feeling useless, etc. - it's worth working...
