Kaijuu-iro no Shima - Ch. 27

Is that tentacle coming out of her butthole?

There is no butthole, she's whole tentacles. But I'll tell you more there is no Kon either.

Thank you kindly for the chapter!

So is Kon gone, or…? Curious as to what’s going to happen for sure though.
Thanks for your work with the translation and chapter numbers!

I think it's either what everyone is saying and she was never real or the monster ate her and became her because of it's crush on Fuuka.

I doubt it just based on Furuka’s arm. She clearly lost it, and it’s growing back, but not fully, yet. Too convenient to blindly accept it as reality, but not convenient enough for a dream.

True, but based on the art of the chapter it was difficult to say whenever it was a fully grown arm or in the process of it, at least she can hold a plate with her left hand! It was my first guess after starting the chapter, but I hope against the theory that they are now living inside the consciousness of the monster.

If we go with the assumption that Kon was part of the monster all along.

I've had the same idea for some time but upon second reread there are some things that stood against it.

What happens next is complicated. It didn’t seem like she had any attachments to the outside world but can she continue to live like this knowing where she is and who Kon is? How independent is Kon, and does she and the monster want different things for, and from, Furuka? Then, there’s auntie and how she reacts to what she saw happen to Furuka. What’s her next course of action? Will she walk away, try to get Furuka back, or seek revenge?

This is the most interesting part!

Can only wish author good health to release chapters before global internet goes out or something.

Can someone just explain wtf is happening? It's been too long for me to remember

that'd require it to have made sense in the first place given it retcons itself regularly and doesn't explain anything

So is kon being used as an avatar by the monster or was she the monster all along? Even chapters that have more development just give me more questions than answers . Thanks for the chapter! See you on Christmas!

Furuka wasn't the bully. The bully was the girl that Kon "sent flying" at the beginning who was supposedly "badly hurt", but then suddenly was fine and crushing hard on Furuka. This manga does take too long between chapters and the art style doesn't really help to avoid that kind of confusion.

knew i was missing something.

 

[nnnn20430]

Well I still don't understand if Kon is alive or ever existed, but at least we now know the monster is sapient.

Nice meeting y'all
See ya guys next quarter

 

[Jhosy]

Welp
I wonder if what she is "living"/seeing isn't a hallucination the monster showed her and Kon isn't even there. I mean, it's very typical to be tricked by the "bad monster" in thinking you are living happily ever after while in truth you are being consumed/eaten and then something goes wrong so you can snap out of it and fight to get back to reality.
Well, just a theory really.
Now to wait four long months

I think it's either what everyone is saying and she was never real or the monster ate her and became her because of it's crush on Fuuka.

I think Kon was the monster from the very start. The two big hints for it are:

1. Furuka explicitly notices that the depiction of the original sacrifice looks a lot like Kon.
2. Furuka's aunt mentions falling off the cliff and getting mysteriously revived by a shadowy figure giving mouth to mouth. That exactly mirrors what happened to Furuka in chapter 1, except in that case it was Kon giving mouth to mouth, indicating that she was likely already the monster at this point in time.

If I hazard a guess I would say that the monster is a ghost/spirit born from the lesbian yearnings of the first sacrifice who died with her sexuality unfulfilled (and possibly directly as a result of it) and has consequently manifested as different avatars trying to find her missing happiness.
Though I'm not sure about whether Kon was fully aware of this from the start. I'm leaning towards no.
But I do suspect that after all of this Kon's family will have forgotten all about her, just like people forgot about the maid, because neither of then ever really existed to begin with.
