Official raw. There's currently a campaign going where extra chapters are free until the 19th.
Physical.
Digital.
Still no news on chapter 31. Dorothy plots out the entire next volume before starting which is why we get these gaps between volumes. And it at least sounds like 6 is mostly planned out. The last time Dorothy described a shift in tone was volume 3, toward the more SoL/human drama with Honda vs Masaki. This time things are getting less fun and Karasuma's getting heavily involved.
Dorothy also described 6 as "the start of a new season." Don't know where exactly that's partitioned, but if you divide a mystery into 3 phases (discovery, investigation, solution) I think we're just beginning the 2nd. It's time for the real pursuit of answers. And that means each stone turned over runs the risk of unleashing some creepy crawly. Horror is a steady climb and so the threat's finally great enough to justify putting Karasuma to work.
(also if you were adapting this to a 13 episode anime this would roughly be the end of season 1)
I'm so glad I had a clean template for that profile saved. Masaki's was even messier than it looked. Her favorite animal is a hamster, which is
also Honda's favorite. And Honda used to have a pet hamster (which died but Sayaka can still see its ghost following her around.)
On a more meta note, "I have over 300 confirmed kills" is actually "刃牙しねかかってこいや/You're dead, Baki, come fight me bro!" which is a reference to a Japanese shitpost that's equivalent to
the Navy Seal copypasta and yes it refers to
that Baki.
I don't think I've ever seen a twist on Snow White where the witch wanted someone else to be prettiest? Seta can't stop getting dunked on. Michi's getting used to her gay dreams by now. Karasuma saved the day again (by doing nothing again).
I left the assistant's name in JP in case they ever hit it big and you can look back and say "oh my gosh she helped with Aizawa-san no wonder she makes such great yuri!" It definitely wasn't because I gave up on that last scribbled kanji and any Japanese name is a roll of the dice whether you read the kanji right.
Michi's hair just keeps getting longer. I should put a short compilation in the next recap.
Speaking of which I'm working on one - it might be out with the next chapter. I have an updated character chart and timeline mostly done, then the script for an insane tangent waiting. There's a detail that might end up like the Sailor Moon theory in importance though it's simultaneously more in your face, less evidently meaningful, and despite its simplicity impossible to convey in translation. Fun.
