*shudder* this chapter was such a weird read! Iirc, in the novel
he had little moments where he could feel it wasn't right even if he couldn't remember. Without those this felt so *wrong.* Maybe though, those last few panels were supposed to be a knowing look at the bird/indication that he still felt the same, but they chose to hide it from the readers for a dramatic reveal?
Because of this manga, I made a joke about how Heroina was on heroin cause she was crazy coo, but every time I think of heroines I thing of the drug heroin instead, god help me
this feels so uncanny bc without context, this would seem like a generic shoujo but with the context of the story, it's really really really unsettling how normal it is when it's a case of brainwashing and changing what's true
