Good catch! And you've just reminded me of the first of Maryrose's lessons from Chapter 70: "Lesson One: Do not underestimate your seniors! Lesson Two: Do not show mercy to the enemy! Lesson Three: Hide your true powers as much as possible!" Something tells me that won't be the last time...

"How perfectly evil spirit and beauty can combine in one person, harmonically supplementing each other." — Igor Eliseev

Right - Lyndsey's been a long-running character with a number of background appearances, and I'm pretty sure she even appeared in the anime, but I don't recall that she's ever had any significant lines of dialogue. In a way, it's kind of a shame we didn't get to see a little more from Lindsey...

Thank you for the chapter! Poor Akari - it's been a while since we've gotten a chapter where Chinatsu utterly traumatizes her. Someone, please give Akari a hug! Not you, Chinatsu - sit down! :D I'm hoping the English translators can catch up on the backlog of Oomuroke chapters eventually -...

I think you're right about the 3rd floor: as of this chapter, I don't think we've gotten ANY real background information about them, and barely more than the sketchiest of characterization to tell us what they're up to, how they think, etc. If they appeared at all in any flashbacks, I must...

In the panel where Great-Grandfather says "The children shall all be disposed of", he does look transparent: you can see through his veil(?) to the collar of his cloak and the room behind. I don't know what to make of that, but I don't think we've seen anything like that from a shadow before...

Good catch! I knew there were other characters who probably wanted to slap that optimistic smile right off of poor Emilyko's face, but couldn't think of the best example at first, then realized "oh yeah, wasn't that Barbie/Barbara's shtick for most of the early part of the story, where they...

This can be a real "your mileage may vary" kind of question, I've never seen anything EXACTLY like "Shadows House", and I'm mostly coming at the question as someone who sees the animes first, then reads the mangas if I like what I see, but some that seemed roughly similar to me, mostly in terms...

Seems like just about any clue that I can think of off the top of my head that there might be something romantic going on, is actually just ambiguous enough that Namori might be tricking us into reading whatever we want into what we see and read. There might be an entirely innocent way to read...

Chino's mother does seem to have somehow given Cocoa a little magic as a child when she found her lost in the half-timbered town, and I guess it can't be helped! Alternatively, seems like the Half-Timbered Town itself is enchanted, but usually it's Cocoa - the most childlike of the characters...

Thank you for the upload! The "hypnotized"/"coffee drunk" Rize and Syaro are absolutely precious in this chapter!

It seems like all the characters noticed something was "off" with Chino and Tippy in chapter 146 - Maya and Megu were the first to comment, Fuyu just after, Cocoa realizes that Chino is sad and actually plays the onee-chan bit straight during the fireworks display and holds Chino's hand (Chino...

Wow, I don't remember seeing this chapter the first time I read through the manga, and there are a lot of fun things going on in that flashback! A very young Rize and just a tiny glimpse of her mom, a very young Yura and her mom, Rize and Chiya as little kids, Rin and Aoyama.... What a cute...

Yeah, seems like it, at least "next year" in-universe - no telling how long it'll take in real time for that to happen. These characters are a school-year behind Rize (and I believe also Yura). Chino, Maya, and Megu were the youngest by another year, before the Ginger twins and Fuyu joined the...

Hardly forgotten, and to be fair, the original cast have just about all played out their character development arcs, with mentoring the next generation of characters through their character arcs being the logical next step in that development. It kinda helps to reread the series from its...

LOL, kind of! For those who missed it, Anthony deduced how Maryrose/Rosemary would escape in Chapter 79 (Vol. 7, see also the extras for this volume, which include a diagram of how the escape worked): Those who noticed the setup have been waiting for over 180 chapters for the pay-off! :)...

I agree completely. But, in retrospect, it makes sense, and that makes it doubly refreshing: after all, they have established that the children were specifically chosen because they were brighter than their peers, along with other excellent qualities. It's sometimes a little easy to forget...

I don't recall ever seeing a flashback to Rosemary's backstory, now that you mention it. I think you might be right, maybe she is simply that docile. In some ways, the little shadow-nymphs seem to pick up on and exaggerate certain aspects of their "living doll's" personality, and in other...

Edward has been presented as the story's villain from the first chapters, and certainly he's done some bad things, BUT... really, when you step back from a distance and look back over the story, has he really been THAT wrong? For example, the characters he seemed to be the most unfair to and...

Same here, I saw the anime first and maybe that makes a difference, but it seemed pretty obvious to me after a couple viewings that she probably survived, and that the real surprise would be how and when she came back and what she was doing in the mean time, not "if" she came back. And if I had...
