Thanks for the chapter

 

[BongoKatze]

Trying to understand this manga makes me want to cry because the story stops being linear starting somewhere around chapter 24

 

[BongoKatze]

Natsume has been teased since chapter 28, and she’s finally appeared

It's ok, people's fetishes are not meant to be understood

 

[Soundwave3456]

Surely there's someone that understands what's happening in this story

Chapter 17
It is revealed that time in this town keeps repeating on August 9th. When the loop resets, people forget everything that happened during the previous cycle. However, Miyako and items from outside the town, such as Haruo's recorder, are unaffected. Haruo uses the recorder to document every loop and the events that transpire within them.

Chapter 26
Ao’s original personality is replaced by "Shin," someone Ao had previously killed. This transformation is the result of a ritual called "Oyadori" (Lodging), which involves consuming a heart to transfer the original owner's personality and memories into the consumer.
As for the Messenger’s plan, i don't really understand, but it seems he wants to recreate a village dedicated to the god he worships within the repeating monster "August 9th"

Chapter 27
A voice recorder plays a message saying, "Kill Ao Sakurai." This could be Shin, speaking from Ao’s body, asking them to stop the Messenger’s plan by killing Ao.

Chapter 28
Hasumi's full name was revealed to be Kudo Hasumi. I’m not sure if it’s a typo or if her colleague deliberately calling her Kudo, but in chapter 36 they call her Shidou. This confirms that she is the same Shidou who appeared in Tsurenai chapter 13.5.

Chapter 29
Samejima mentions that she visits Ao on the night Hachisakusama bites off Ao's finger. Witnessing this, Samejima fights Hachisakusama, but the battle is interrupted when they are both attacked by "small fry" (This could either be Miyako, members of the organization, or a coalition of supernatural entities). This likely explains why the place Ao was staying in was wrecked at the beginning of Chapter 24 and why Hachisakusama was missing afterward.

Chapter 31
Their obsession with Sakurai Ao stems from Shin, who treated them as human despite their transformation into nothing more than a lump of flesh. For them, Shin served as a reminder that they were beings with hearts, driving them to stay by Shin’s side and crave connection to the point of madness. But this doesn’t explain why Miyako is obsessed with Ao, as seen in chapter 25, where she turned hostile after realizing it wasn’t Ao who hugged her, but Shin.

Chapters 32-33
At the beginning of this chapter, we hear an audio recording, most likely from a previous loop. In it, they seem unaware of who Miyako truly is, referring to her only as “Miyako” and never mentioning Okuri Ookami.

Chapters 34-35
Hasumi tells Ushi-Onna that their kind originates from the legend of Yaobikuni, a claim Ushi-Onna grade as "good," suggesting most of it is accurate.

It seems their obsession with Shin (and by extension Ao) is not only a desire to be with him but also a desperate attempt to break their curse of immortality.

It is also revealed that the original Miyako’s identity is tied to the wolf itself. Her powers originate from the heart of the wolf, unlike others whose powers come from the cassette tape embedded in their chests.

Miyako having a different motive and origin could indicate that she is not part of the villagers cursed with immortality, but instead has a unique connection tied exclusively to Ao.

I domt get it, my brain hurts 🥺

Absolute Cinema, August 9 keeps repeating in one town year round the clock, because of a ritual.

 

[misopogon]

I've been going around saying I've had a theory that both the mangas of the same mangaka share a setting, but it's kind of embarrassing that I just noticed the same character, Nakazono Natsume, appears in both of them - something I should've noticed ages ago.

And also, Shidou.

Reading all of these makes me wonder how much information I'm missing from my first read through

Now even the mangaka's other work feels like there's a ton of background lore/foreshadowing that's not directly mentioned shown in the panels

So the cassettes have recordings of the stories of cursed women, and their powers are being borrowed by a group of cursed villagers whose own forms and story don't give them any real power to change their situation?

The in world terminology the author uses obscures the how and why of things relating to each other in a lot of cases.

The cassettes have only appeared twice so far, first in chapter 21, and it's not until chapter 35 that we get an idea of why they even have them in their chest. It's been three years since chapter 21. I hate how this manga doesn't have a regular update schedule, unlike Tsurenai, which gets updated once every two weeks.
