This shit is.. weird as fuck. Not the good kind of weird. Read the first 10 chapters and.. yea, no.

 

[Cerisine]

Oh snap, mass update inc

 

[aikara]

It's alive! 😲

 

[NeonWinter]

holy shit, I never expected this to be revived

 

[gum_rummy]

Um so I think this might be that misogyny thing that I’ve heard so much about.

 

[NebulaMaster]

You crazy sons of bitches actually did it!

 

[elemhunter]

I'll take blame for any further delays on v6 and v7, so feel free to yell at me until they're released.

 

[Chesheire]

@NorseLoki
I recommend you read Freesia, another work by this author. Then, if you like it, come back and read this one. His absurdist style can be off-putting if you're not used to it, but you may find a lot to love if you push through.

Interesting manga.

 

[Nigilith]

Muh man! Thaaaanks!

 

[monotone_ink]

Maybe 2021 isn't so bad after all

 

[Gypsy36]

@gum_rummy
Yep.

 

[Gypsy36]

This series is the gray crust at the bottom of a trash skip, so why am I so glad to see it getting translated?

Expected pure shlocky garbage, found a strange, incredibly surreal, but genuinely compelling psychological war thriller.

I can't help but feel this is some kind of satirical allegory. A criticism of moé and idol culture maybe? The allure of using the lives of young girls as a form of escapist fantasy? And/or viewing your life and that of young girls as an instrument to be used and consumed by others?

Idk, maybe it's not really that deep and the bizarre premise is just doing stuff to my brain. Must be the corruption setting in.
