I think it's Jujutsu Kaisen, pretty sure they have a talking panda. I don't specifically remember that from what I read of it though.

 

[TheBellSTand]

I... I don't like this twist. It feels like a cop out to keep a character virtually perfect morally or a twist for the sake of a twist. I'm not feeling this one.

 

[RiffRaffROTFL]

The pacing is shit but the story's super interesting.

 

[thycondrius]

This Is so goddamn good.

Our spidergirl is just so goddamn awesome...

 

[MrTurtleMan]

Was not expecting a Chainsaw Man reference.

what was the chainsaw man reference?

 

[r31ya]

Ok wait I'm lost. So she did kill their village, but that's because they were under the influence of some curse, so despite never meeting them, they attacked her, and she defended herself, and this one happened to be hiding at the time?

i think the kid kill her village in rampage
and forgot that she is the one that did it, she misremembered it as spidergirl massacred her village

 

[Yatagan]

THE CSM REFERENCE HUH?

 

[zenyo]

 

[chojinra]

It's actually only now that Taya is going to work on suppressing the curse. In the past she only sealed her memory of the incident, and in this incident she has undone that.

You're right, thanks for that!

I don't think she is though. When she first met Skeledad, she told him she killed humans.

 

[otakudude303]

I gotta say, even as a semi-parody, that CSM panel still goes hard AF.

 

[Huichelaar]

This is so stupid. Came out of nowhere.

 

[Njin]

what was the chainsaw man reference?

The panel where you see the other mantis bissected, with their upper bodies arranged to one side and their lower bodies arranged to the other.

It's unmistakeably a CSM reference, because you have the exact same arrangement when the gang runs into the darkness devil, only with a bunch of dead astronauts instead. It's quite an entrance

The panel itself is from Jujutsu Kaisen - though the text is edited.

Yeah but it holds no weight in the story as a whole. They just tell you she killed people and it's implied pretty heavily it was on a survival basis. She ate humans. Plus even if it wasn't there are no consequences for it. No one but her dad (and maybe her mom) knows and the only character that seemed to hint at her terrible past coming back to bite her is a twist to show how loving and caring she was for a child in need.

It probably ties into her learning from her pain but the fact she just wiped her memory instead of guiding her like her dad guided her seems like a missed opportunity.

Again it feels like another one of the author's twists that I feel undermined better narrative and emotional beats for a cheap surprise.

I still like this story and I'll keep reading it but this and how the home-wrecker arc seems to have ended (though knowing the author they'll pull another twist, maybe maybe not) with surprise yuri left a nasty taste in my mouth. It feels like the author wants to do more than a soft, comfy slice-of-life story and wants to add a more complicated undercurrent that they don't really know how to execute fully and is relying on surprises.

Again. I think the overall story and vibes are good but I feel the author has stumbled here and there, which will happen cause taste differ from person-to-person and you can't please everyone.

 

[Evangelear]

Is the "please kill me" page duplicated? Was it supposed to happen twice?

I think, rather than survival, it was pure revenge. Humans killed her real mother, she killed humans later.
Taya changed only after she met her step-dad (which seems to have happened only when she was "an adult"), and for what we know, she might have met the mantis girl before she met her step-dad and wiped her memories out of pity for a child that had to bear such a heavy trauma rather than because she was wiser.

 

[CulR]

So she's got inner murderhobo?

ummm.... uh.... why is he inside her?

This is how I see the timeline. She did just tell the mantis "I came upon your village in my journey for revenge." so Taya was still murder-hoboing humans at the time, but a random mantis girl who just killed her own village isn't part of her vengeance

oh dang not only is she an amazing spidey-wife but also an amazing person. PEAK
