After reading this chapter, I stopped and looked up the name of the Labubu guy because Zukin’s teeth reminded me so much of the early Labubu design sketches I’ve seen that I thought this might be by the same person. (This is not the case.)

Page 14 (where she finds her daughter’s body) is absolutely stellar panelling.

The gender themes in this are fascinating. Transition, girl! You don’t have to fantasize about having had a girlhood, you can have one now!

This was my exact reaction 😭 I was like, “Huh, is the melting thing a metaphor for dating someone who a disability or a mental illness and the balance of understanding your/your partner’s limits while still doing the things you love?” And then the murders started.

This is a really fascinating-looking setting. I’m interested in more, but this first chapter also works quite well as a oneshot.

I don’t fully get the ending to this one. I assume it has to do with the sex toy maker Sakurai murdered — a fox was posing as her father to get revenge on her? Her leg looks like that to mimic the teeth of a trap closing on a fox’s leg? It’s kind of an abrupt pivot to the explicitly...

The shift from interpersonal jealousy, murder, and ghosts to “nothing’s grosser than a CROSSDRESSER!!” is so fucking jarring, especially after how gayness was portrayed sympathetically earlier.

Oiwa girl this man is a leech 😭 Edo period hobosexual

Thank you for the map of Kazuma’s route! I always like when translators include info like that as a bonus.

Oh INTERESTING. So Bena is an oni (or something like it), huh. I wonder how Danzo got his hands on him… I am confused a bit by page 16 - contextually, it seems like “Should I remove the gag?” should be more like “Why did you remove the gag?” since we see the gag removed on page 14.

I like that “bad boy” shirt the bully wears, lol.

You know, it’s nice to see a bit of non-malicious gray from time to time. I hope Chashao and her owner have a long, happy possession together. (She’s even bringing him luck like calicos are supposed to ;_; )

Wow, that’s pretty gay. I’m a fan.

I really like the blend of peace and melancholy in this series.

a snellybutton!

I saw this coming, but NGL I would’ve preferred it if her dad was guilty. Whenever these kind of twists happen, it always feels vaguely like “it was wrong to treat the MC badly because those accusations were false!” instead of “it is wrong to treat people badly“.

Yumeko’s outfit in the chapter cover rules.

This is awesome. I’m glad to see a return to the girl from chapter 1 and all these other new kids. The explicitly political & global nature of this chapter is really well done. Exploitation of Africa (I think this is intended to be the DRC?) by developed nations, the Russian invasion of Ukraine...

WTF is up with his face?!

So Y is definitely a North Korea stand-in, right
