Hideki-sensei created a new cover for Volume 1 seen here on her twitter.

Also, I went back and fixed a couple errors in names in chapter 8 and 13. They even had furigana so there is no excuse for the errors. I will now fall on my sword.

The amount of mental gymnastics is near National level to understand this plot. Or is the Mangaka just on something that they should be sharing?

Yeah, it's the annoying writing gimmick called "Mystery box".

Where the whole point is to milk the mystery for as long as possible, and not give the viewer any hints as to what the solution is.

Usually these types of writers just pull the solution to the mystery out of their ass at the last moment, cause many times even the author themselves didn't actually know what the mystery was.

Another typical occurdance is the writer already has a solution planned out but the fans have already guessed it, so then there's a hasty backtracking and random new ending. (Looking at you JJ Abrams)

Miyu-chan is really on the case now.

I thought that cage was symbolic of Hongo feeling trapped by his parents. Looks like it's a real cage.

Three more suspects appear.

 

[BalrogDeMorgoth]

The plot thickens

 

[Kingdex88]

Anyone else feel like the last few pages gave the "I got to speed to the ending cause I got axed" flag?

 

[Hermann]

The plot thickens indeed. To the point it has become a non-Newtonian fluid.
The more we are trying to figure it out, the harder it gets.

Things are accelerating and getting more complicated, I only hope it won’t drag for too long, these kind of stories tend to become ridiculous if they last too long, like This one for example I hope the author really knows where she’s going too
Thanks for the tl

 

[gabarbie]

cooks taiyaki with malicious intent

 

[Lunkli]

Despite how suspicious she is, I'm pretty sure "Yoshiko-sama" isn't actually the culprit. Her surprise at seeing Miyu is that photo is probably for some of reason than "I killed her, so how's she alive!?"

Nah i think that one is on a whole another level of its own

 

[jak]

So is it some conspiracy and multiple people were involved?

 

[LeBronBron]

The way I saw it the new 3 work together to hide something. Maybe Miyu was in theire way? Or she was a part of it? Who know but it seems like a few questions will be answered

 

[Zafkiel_Aleph]

Weird progression

I’m assuming it might also be the volume end

 

[Doomroar]

How come all of Yuushi's classmates became such weirdos? like come on author

 

[animan095]

Is this getting axed?

I absolutely hate when they do that. Your writing isn't going to be any better just because you "tricked" the audience with something nonsensical. If anything, the fact that people figured it out is proof that what you had planned was logical and consistent. It's so pathetic, ruining what you write out of some misplaced sense of pride.
