Kemono Friends - Raccoon-san Mansion (Doujinshi) - Ch. 35

[MonsieurWeeb]

the nameless scavenger is quite kind, in the end it still help mask by drawing a bridge even though it is horrified by the implications of using the red doors.

Just like the drawing you might only need to realize something to get out of the complex instead of raiding a floor or exploring each floor, as can be seen by mask walking out without even bringing her gear or by raccoon and fennec returning from work everyday

note :
1) the photographs inside the tent in the drawing world always show 3 giant otters and a normal human
2) the oldest comment here have the translation for the note in the tent, thx @arctess
3) the cloning red doors only have 1 door remain unsealed as the other doors spit blood from its gaps when cloning, based on how many doors in that floor you might killed 100 clones just to get 1 clone

@Ovnidemon - Since they can get more than one otter out of the "cloning" elevators in the red room, I assume that the standby otter can get back out of the red elevator.

I can't tell if it was a good end or not. Like, I get that it was Otter at the end with her rat companion, but that overall tone just doesn't feel like a happy end. I love how this makes me feel.

Something that's hard to miss but an extremely important implication can be found on pg 8. "The next next next next next (5) one is about when you'll be able to exit". When she leaves the floor on pg 27 she only left 4 pictures not 5. There is still one picture left to leave. The last one is the last panel on pg 29 where she truly leaves the mansion and the manga itself, breaking the 4th wall and setting herself truly free.

Not what I expected when I first read the chapter but wow, very nice.

@artyom It is happier than most chapter-endings, but just imagine that at some point, a single otter entered the building. And the otter that left the building just learned, that he/she is a deteriorated "watered down" version of the original, cloned so many times, that they forgot their origin, the floors they already entered, etc.
How often have they explored the same floors again and again, are some of the monsters old clones that were captured by the floor? Are the warning messages from their old clones and they do not know about that? How long has it been, since the original entered the building? How many others have they sacrificed to survive?
Yes, one clone has escaped the circle, knowing that his/her other selfs are still on their sisyphos-like oddyssey. And who knows how many clones escaped before? Who knows whether the clones can actually exist outside of the building?
So many questions!

Oh, I forgot to reply to this. The warning messages are left by the human man who was exploring the complex and eventually went mad. The friends are illiterate (for the most part), and can't read the warnings.
