Oh shit, Anzu's mom has self-harm scars on her arms and chest. She's intense because she's a menhera champion. I feel all sorts of ways about it.

Mostly I'm reminded of a quote from J.D. Salinger, from Seymour; An Introduction.

​

"But where does by far the bulk, the whole ambulance load, of pain really come from? Where must it come from? Isn't the true poet or painter a seer? Isn't he, actually, the only seer we have on earth? Most apparently not the scientist, most emphatically not the psychiatrist. (Surely the one and only great poet the psychoanalysts have had was Freud himself; he had a little car trouble of his own, no doubt, but who in his right mind could deny that an epic poet was at work?) Forgive me; I'm nearly finished with this. In a seer, what part of the human anatomy would necessarily be required to take the most abuse? The eyes, certainly."​

Art is hard, art is pain. Anzu stands out because she has lived horrors, and Anzu's mom is living horrors. The horror! The horror!

Nvr trust another human being who doesnt listen to music!

such a random reference to The Cardigans...

the band's got a name, a proper bass for Anzu, and soon enough a debut date... just a question of whether or not Anzu's mom is gonna intervene before or after the band gets a chance to play a show now imo

seeing the scars on Anzu's mom too, they say hurt people hurt more people but I didn't think the hurt would exist on as many layers as it does for these two going into this manga. I'm sure we'll learn more about that hurt yet........

nice to meet another ally to the cause too, Shiroyama seems like a fun one to have around lol

thanks for the chapter!

Lol true. Happy Meal II was a deep cut reference. You'd expect the hits- Lovefool, or Been It. Even the first track Your New Cuckoo stands out as the opener. I was always partial to Step on Me or The Great Divide. but Happy Meal II? That's a B-side to the B-side.

Dang yeah what's the story with the mom. Got a bad feeling this "business trip" is just a setup to bust Anzu. Maybe related to the dude in the mask and the Gilligan hat who keeps appearing?

Also, is Ikoma stealing equipment from the studio or is that just his own stuff poking outta his backpack?

Hope anzu's mom car or plane just self conbusts on that business trip 🙏
