Aku no Kadou wo Ikimashou - Vol. 4 Ch. 12.6 - Let's forget The Flowery Path of Evil (Part 7)

[notekatha]

I am amazed at it being a "chapter 12.6" (and likely to go on beyond "merely" 6 parts) but each fraction still being full chapters. The numbering makes little sense to me

It's not labeled as such in the raws, these are normal chapters (I think we just read chapter 17) I don't know why they're being listed as point whatever here.

there are two raw versions.
one in monthly josei magazine that gets published first
and another one in separate comic release that is released separately.
the scanlator group is using comic as raws

the one in josei magazine doesn't have chapter numbers assigned. they just follow conventional release number. so if the chapter released is 17th in the magazine then it gets labeled as chapter 17. that's the one you see on amazon for example:

https://www.amazon.co.jp/やましろ-梅太-eb...75-4108-8fe7-384d925fac9b&ref_=aufs_ap_sc_dsk

the official comic release follows its own chapter labels. that is assigned by the author or the publisher. and they all follow the chapter name rather than release number. that's why the 'lets forget the flowery path of evil' has so many sub chapters. because it's chapter 12 in the comic release and divided into sub chapters.

the easy way to check it is to read the contents page for each first chapter in volumes. you can see that here

https://mangadex.org/chapter/9349ea33-c0ce-45bb-adbb-8fee622596be/5

all chapters belong to chapter 12, but divided into subchapters.
the scanlation group is following the labeling from the comic release because that's where they got the raws.
not the monthly magazine.

Makes sense! The structure definitely makes it feel like this one arc is going on forever, but the reasoning is sound.

Man... all I can think about is the amount of retribution her brother and Lou are gonna experience if/when Celeste gets her memories back cuz girl gonna be maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad

 

[looc64]

Prime Minister back in his element

Celestine loving it

Celestine apologizing to Lou

This something I hate about shoujo: a character who's doing all kinds of obnoxious shit trying to break two people up will get treated with kid gloves as long as it's because of feewings.

A character like Celestine who would usually get super offended by being treated rudely goes all 👁️ 👄 👁️ when the rudeness is flirting.

Also: Lou evil aesthetic score: F. Generic bishonen side character
