[Mangamoz]

Are demons gonna appear eventually?

Since it is confirmed in this story that Heaven is 100% real.

 

[Hikineet]

Thanks for the chapter.

BLASPHEMY! BLASPHEMY! SUMMON THE INQUISITORS! HOW DARE SHE DENIGRATE THE THEOTOKOS!!!! BURN HER IN THE FIRES OF HELL!!!

The mangaka is surprisingly very well-acquainted with traditional Christianity, especially Catholic doctrine - enough to know that the Virgin Mary isn't a surrogate mom in conventional theology. Reminds me of the time I realized Maria-sama ga Miteru was chock-full of references to Catholic school life. I do wonder how far this series is going to push it. Saint Young Men went all the way, but it's clear the mangaka had very passing knowledge of Christianity. I wonder how someone "closer to home" will do it.

I didn't realise she called her a surrogate mom until the end either lmao

Thanks for the chapter!
I'm wondering what the deal is with the title pages since they usually do not refer to the current chapter but the previous one instead. This time Mimiel's eating the shiruko that Mei mentioned in ch. 14, whereas that chapter's title page had her in a sumo pose that was the subject of ch. 13...

i'd quite literally never thought of this until now, but calling mary a surrogate mom is... not that crazy of a statement. would definitely piss off the muslims and the catholics tho lmao. as you said, i've also been surprised at how knowledgeable the mangaka seems to be about christianity
