Sudden Tama lore
The poor kitties

 

[Astah]

Eyy it's back! Thanks for the translation!

 

[japzone]

So wait, Tama's been a ghost/spirit this whole time which only Rui can see?

 

[Hicleric]

Oof, this hurts just a little

 

[Arexty]

I was expecting the twist, but it still hurts.
Thanks for the chapter, and for consistency I wouldn't change fonts at this point if it were me.

 

[sssr]

I mean... Tama has always been a supernatural cat. We just found out what kind.

 

[Goldis]

So yeah tama is chiharu guardian spirit

 

[miraclebirdman]

This was a good chapter in a great manga. Thanks for the update!

Also is Tama a ghost cat? I am slightly convinced but not entirely.

 

[Baffled]

Mannnnn Rui-kun is cute and cool as always, but mannnnn
I was not expecting sudden Tama lore drop, and that it would be so sad

 

[kaminomikan]

so tama is really a spirit, (bakeneko?) but why the changing color?

 

[Imryse]

so is he a bakeneko or what? also 80 page chapters are so nice.

 

[UncleBenny]

man, I honestly thought Tama was like Chiharu's Grandpa's ghost reincarnated or something. Ghost kitty makes more sense, but equally sad.

 

[Hikineet]

Thanks for the chapter.

 

[Wachtail]

Man... So he was a dead cat all along...
God damnit.
Thanks for the chapter!

I went back to check and Kurumi did see and talk to Tama back in chapter 4. So maybe the "monster that only kids can see" are all the kittens that were abandoned there

Not only Rui, many children saw it.
During the storm chapter, in the last splash page, it was see-through; there were also multiple instances where we saw its altar besides grandpa's.

 

[Beregorn]

"I even died my hair green..."
"Yeah, but the manga is black and white, so it didn't make any difference..."
"What?"
"What?"
