Mum works pretty fast, evacuating the whole school like that.

Thanks for the translations!

So few comments on the latest chapter? I thought it would be objectively popular, given the author.

Well, it's not particularly popular, all right. And the chapters are short in both length and discussion material - they tend to have action scenes mostly - so I guess there's not much to talk about.
What is the author popular for?

From what I've heard, the author of the manga is the one behind the original idea for Licorice Recall.

That was a fun mission, yet there's so much existential horror in having a serial killer play both puppeteer and matchmaker with students. At this point it's not clear how mental manipulation and mind control are limited. Was the criminal forcing relationships without mutual feelings as we saw? Messing with the school culture in smaller ways? Was she mostly targetting actual couples when she forced people into the archaic 'romantic double suicide' trope? And if the final words of victims are taken seriously, the topicality of the tragic archetype would indicate homophobia outside the school despite a school culture so homophilic it's a window into another genre.

Evil bitch.

To be clear, the girl with a crush on Kyou is a comfortable signal the author isn't letting negative implications against LGBT stand, and this is about as uncontroversial and as the ever-popular psycho killer gay pervert storytelling gets. I just have so many questions.
