Myther - Vol. 2 Ch. 4

[MangaDex]

Between the name thing and Vanity's interest on him, it seems that Takumi might be more important than he appeared at first.

And that Myther test doesn't seem nearly as nice and easy as Kyo made it seems.

Thanks for the chapter

first of all vanitas's having an affectionate nickname of "vani" fucking killed me like okay alright okay i see how it is. yasuda teki really does know me personally and know vanitas no carte and probably reads fanfiction of it ANYWAYS

first of all vanitas being a type of guy to just cycle through millions of IFs for literally no reason is insane and hilarious and super interesting. even putting aside why he's able to do that when nobody else can, it's still VERY telling of his beliefs, thought processes, and motivations that he considers IFs so disposable and that even yichen and shie operate the same. it makes me wonder what it'll look like when inevitably somebody else entirely treats IFs and their existences with more weight and worth. and to contrast with kyo's whole...mess, i really love that vani is almost subtly characterized as a weirdly compassionate guy, implied to have been literally genuinely attached to takumi and his family and story. i could be wrong but i really want vani to have been experiencing real sadness to hear that takumi couldn't succeed.

and back to kyo's mess - the myther test being built up with such ominous air makes me excited, because it was already such a striking scene and exposition method when it opened the manga in chapter 1. quite literally how much more intensive can this "more thorough" version of the myther test be, because kyo is intended to be a blank slate. maybe not by yuri necessarily but definitely by the government for which he exists. is there more to him for us to learn about now, for him to learn about? and then there's sataki. if there is more to kyo than even he himself knows, sataki 100% has to, thus her role as his retainer. because of that i doubt we'll be able to see into her thought processes anytime soon as she clearly is in on the secret, but she's still such a compelling and well-written character anyways.

as for the dissonance between "yanagi" and "ryuu" - i searched up the kanji 柳 and aside from its common and mundane meanings, i did see that, if used as a proper noun and read as "ryuu" then this kanji refers to the twenty-eight mansions, which is a chinese constellation system similar to the zodiacs. particularly its number 24, willow. i agree that with yasuda teki's style of writing and drawing, this has to have some sort of significance be it symbolic, thematic, literal, whatever. but i have absolutely no clue what it could be.

anyways love u guysssss thanks for the chapterrrrrrrr 😘
