Maria no Danzai - Ch. 42 - Night Festival

[handtied]

The husband looks like eren now. What? Is this going to be maria no jaeger now?

Don't those lanterns fall back down at some point. Who cleans it up?

If Maria is smart, her next target is the parents. Fatso isn't much of a threat, and Maria is now aware that the reason Ringleader gets away with so much is that his mom is the chief of police, so if Maria wants to take down some of his power she needs to get rid of the mom. Whether that's through exposing the corruption or killing her, the mom needs to be next.

she won't do it. she could,of course but she's already stated that she has no intention of killing innocence: her targets are strictly the bullies and she want's to drag as few people into it as possible.

I dunno, thats more risky than going after Okaya directly. A lot of eyes on the Police Chief. And Okaya is controlling her every move.

Maybe a better chapter next time …

Thanks for the translation Stressed Out Scans

Honestly, Ajiki is pretty smart, he's like a bystander that only watches the bullying happen, as seen in the flashbacks. He's still very shitty though since he partakes in it, but he's always just been watching, usually eating food and making bad remarks.

If Okaya goes down, i want Ajiki to have a play in it.

 

[Jovanism]

I don't think that's fair, that one is in it's own universe when it comes to being absolute festering hot garbage. So far this one is Shakespeare in comparison and I truly hope the author will never ever even think about going down that road.

Right? Also the chapters with those symbolic as fuck panels is insanely good.

Ah. Knew it. The Fatty is gonna betray him.

On the other hand, killing her son and exposing all his shit in a way that can't be covered up? That's the perfect revenge when you also consider the mental anguish of losing her son and helpless despite all her power. She'd become as broken as Maria, plus who will trust a chief that can't protect their own family?

 

[CulR]

plus who will trust a chief that can't protect their own family?

I think this sentiment depends on cultural impressions in Japan around critical figures. To my understanding, it's pretty much acknowledge around the world that important figures, and their close ones, are more likely to be targets in the first place.
