Mietemasu yo! Aizawa-san - Vol. 4 Ch. 23 - Lying Mii-chan and Broken Maa-chan

[Dingo777]

I'm curious where this "Christmas is a family holiday in Japan" coming from? It always has been some sort of date night (romantic or not) in every pieces of media that came out of Japan for a long time.

Never ever ever trust foreign media to accurately portray what life in that country is like

Yeah it is my fault for reading this at 1:30 AM

Hoo-boy.

First, thank you for the chapter.

Second; not sure how long I can take of the angst that manga keeps stretching every chapter. I guess there were some clues given this chapter. Is the fifth member that haven't made it into the band perished and got rid of Aizawa as a ghost because of a grudge, but since Aizawa is now a ghost she possesses the remaining members of the audition group to continue her petty "revenge", like what is even happening anymore.

Aizawa was pretty scary this chapter, it seems like she's lost control again and scared herself and I hope Michi notices that! Though how much longer she can keep up this Mieruko-chan act of 'I do not perceive you' is really questionable

The big takeaway of course is confirmation there was a 5th member of De:Lphinus. There's been subtle hints beyond Masaki plain asking where the 5th girl went, Delphinus being a 5 star constellation for example. And the Sailor Moon theory (each member follows the same naming pattern as the 5 main sailor senshi: Tsuki/moon, Ai/love, Hi/fire, Ki/tree, Mizu/water is missing. Dorothy being a massive Sailor Moon fangirl and referencing this way back with Kidou Ange wearing a Jupiter shirt.) So 5-chan is almost certainly Mizu-something.

Maybe this is a huge stretch, especially given that there are other things which seem to strongly go against Michi being 5-chan, but Michi kinda sounds like it could be a corruption of Mizu-something. Mizu-san -> mi-chan -> micchi -> michi. I swear to god I've read something where one of the characters had the nickname (first character of their name)-cchi, but maybe I'm tripping.

Another thing I noticed is that on page 14, you can see each original member of the group with a star overlayed on them with Aizawa as the second from the right. On page 15, all the charecters but Aizawa disapear but there are still five stars and Aizawa is still second from the right. In the panel on page 15, Aizawa is looking down sadly on the center star, which on page 14, represented the missing member. IDK if this really has any greater meaning but I still think it's a nice attention to detail.

Reserving fast food is kinda wild.

Damn Michi, you're bein' kind of a jerk this chapter.

- Bails on her bishie dad and makes him spend Christmas all alone (she did it to hang out with a gyaru though, so I get this one).

- Lets a girl lick cream off her face in front of her ghost girlfriend (but the girl doing the licking is a gyaru, so actually this is super understandable).

- Tells Masaki that there's a cat and that she can see the cat but there's actually not a cat and then she ditches the cat-less Masaki to go hang out with her manga-reading ghost girlfriend (and Masaki is a gyaru so this is just totally unforgivable).

I never would've guessed that our gloomy protagonist was such a heartless girl.

Some in-depth analysis of the kind I care about (because gyaru).

Kentucky fried colonel for Christmas. Damn Nippon, thats about the strangest thing I've learned about you😂

Michi-chan and her strange athleticism with an affinity for dance huh. Well I see where this is going

 

[ngkn92]

I don't know where it's going, but I like it.

 

[MathMols]

Tbh I do kinda hope Aizawa kills that girl… Since she was introduced all she has been is annoying af and a sexual assaulter, I just want her gone already…

What typa Junji Ito craftery is this?!?!?!

Harrowing. That is not my idol gang. I wonder if the group is immensely cursed since thaf death. Seems fitting after all.
