Mietemasu yo! Aizawa-san - Vol. 3 Ch. 17.5 - Volume 3 Extras

[MangaDex]

Just my notes:

• As speculated, Michi's mom is gone. Could have some serious bearing on the plot or could mean nothing.
• Michi is worried she looks like a dorky boy and suddenly cares about romance for inexplicable reasons. If you go back to the start her hair is noticeably longer now.
• I'm not going to be surprised if there's actually 3 Hondas.
• This is the 2nd time Sayaka's referenced a big person in the sky (ch.9 p.16), which could be deceptively important.
• Dorothy's screwed up hair for both Tear (missing highlights for a volume) and Ange (parted wrong), waiting on Non's turn.
• In saying Ange's the only one taking her studies seriously, it's unclear if Tear's actually in school since she's 22.
• (Only relevant to me but Ange is confirmed to be Ange and not Anju so at least I didn't get that wrong.)
• A conspicuous lack of info on Aizawa here.
• Another reference to volume 4 being a new direction. Chapter 19 is out so I can confirm it's a chill Sayaka chapter leading into a Honda arc.

Very unsurprised Dorothy was prepared to end the manga early. Volume 1 was fairly reserved and, if it sold poorly, could have cobbled together a simple ending in volume 2. Clearly it did well enough for Dorothy to devote volume 2 to side characters, then secured a lengthy publication when volume 3 expanded heavily on characters and setup for future plotlines.

Getting into scanlation made the guidelines for creating manga more noticeable for me. Mangaka tend to plan 2 versions of their premise: one in case of early cancellation and one full version of the story. It's not like volume 3's elements weren't there at first, they were just muted and easily overlooked. I mean mystery's the last genre you get to retroactively append major plot points to.

Spoiler: Anyway here's my ramblings on the De:Lphinus art

• Aizawa is the only one in white while the other 3 wear black. Could represent mourning or guilt.
• Aizawa holds a blue rose. Blue roses signify mysteries, miracles, impossibilities and the desire for them to be real, as well as love.
• Tear and Ange are holding hands, clearly signifying their nearly romantic relationship. Non is reaching for Aizawa, though Aizawa doesn't interact with any of them in any way unless she's secretly holding Tear's hand off screen.
• Ange's eyes are closed, because she's possessed? Tear has 1 open, maybe because she's 2nd closest to what's haunting them.
• Something about Aizawa's forward stare seems so knowing. Like even nestled in the middle of them she feels distant and detached. She's the only one not to acknowledge the others. I guess I'm just praising the composition here since it all works towards this subtle effect.
• Aizawa is the only one with a covered shoulder. Oddly the guarded shoulder faces Non instead of Tear and Ange.
• Tear and Ange have fully gloved hands, Non's are half-covered, Aizawa's are bare. Could represent secretiveness, given Non's feelings are the most open next to Aizawa who's an open book. Or it could represent complicity, their hands being dirtied as it were. On that note Non, Ange, and presumably Tear have red painted nails while Aizawa's are plain.
• The constellation in the background is Delphinus itself (which has 5 stars remember this for when the hidden 5th member gets introduced as foretold by Sailor Moon). 4 close, 1 distant. The distant one points to Aizawa. If this 5th star represents anyone, it's likely to be whoever's already possessing them.
• Going deeper, would the 5th be the furthest from Aizawa, with it wanting to reach her, and connected to Ange and Tear? Or would it be the one closest to Aizawa, responsible for her current state of separation?

Is it just me or Seta moms are basically adult Haruka and Michiru?

Doki doki waku waku!!! Mune ga takanaru, watashi no kokoro ubau no wa A-NA-TA!


Sorry, had to get that out of my system


Sayaka's gossip bit casually dropping that she can see god, lmao

Seta's moms are so cute!

Looking forward to volume 4!

 

[brndndss]

[WhereTheYuriAt]

EDIT: a new one came out the followin day lmao

When I'm happy there's a cute new bonus chapter (with some classic Sayaka moments), but it's also been 4 months since the last proper chapter.

 

[KoetekishiYui]

loled at that last page

 

[shemper]

Thank you for your work!

 

[Angoldd]

It seems volume sales are good at least for Dorothy-sensei to continue cooking, so that's super noice.

Thanks for translating!

This manga surprised me in a good way, I never thought I'd enjoy it so much at first.

Spoiler

could the 5th and distant star be Michi? The other four are all connected together (being the idol group) while the fifth is only connected to one other star, presumably Aizawa.

 

[zokoi19]

thanks for the extra!

I kinda want an entire 4-koma series about lives in Seta's household lol

 

[byakukarasu]

the suggestion that sayaka might see god is CRAZY what 😭

 

[Hikineet]

Thanks for the chapter.

 

[emmadrew]

Seta lore

 

[yanderecoverl]

The extra's was funny. But the best part was seta's family lmao

 

[mangaburner1979]

the suggestion that sayaka might see god is CRAZY what 😭

The crazier interpretation for this manga's universe is the implication that God is dead and literally a holy ghost that appears in the sky.

 

[mangaburner1979]

Loved the Seto moms backstory, so cute. Page 19 jumpscared the hell out of me
