[Xaelath]

The unlimited loop

 

[Kaiju27277]

Kagerou Project anyone? Aka Mekaku City Actors anime. That's what I think of.

 

[2AR2]

Is there a term for simultaneous confusion and total clarity?

 

[ngkn92]

Very nice.
The more I read, the more information I gain.
I understand nothing at the time tho.
That naked snake looks familiar, what chapter he is in, anyone?

 

[PowerNine]

@ngkn92
Chapter 20, it's the tsuchinoko.

 

[Bana]

wait, then the first chapter is if she successfully saved the cat and herself then became a NEET?

 

[WhimsiCat]

@Bana: I think the first chapter is pre-cycle event, since the apocalypse shown wasn't the comet but basically eldritch abomination.

Satomi was dead by then, her soul in limbo (NEET state), then the cat came to basically get her back on the cycle of samsara.

At which point I think Tuxboros, the ruler of the cycle, found her, and basically went to find the younger Satomi who's still only in coma (a more literal state between life and death), long before the cat interfered.
Then it lured her into coming up with various catastrophes, so that the cats will fidget spinner time back, causing everything to repeat.

 

[Gensou_Eng]

Time to re-read all this spaghetti multiverse manga

 

[Baldulf]

So truck-kun was the culprit all this time

 

[wiredlain]

ooh I'm starting to get it now, an alien cat will eventually comeback in time and use the soul compression wand in chapter 22 to break the cycle (which is also what was foreshadowed in chapter 1)

 

[OniBarubary]

God, this manga sure weaves in and out of itself in such a fascinating way. Not gonna lie, this might be Douman's most consistent work.

 

[bluethings]

Only now realizing that the chapters are A-Z in order of the alphabet.

 

[SkyQ]

ok then

 

[hotstepper]

Ohhhhhhhh.

 

[Fluffyfish]

That was intense.

 

[Natureboy]

If the apocalypse would destroy all McDonalds franchises, count me in!

 

[zetsuravez]

this twist and turn is amazing... i just read ch1 after reading ch22 and now this chapter and the connection with ch1...

 

[eirianrobotto]
