Ota-kun ni dake Yasashisugiru Ayame-san - Ch. 1 - Dating

[FleshPhoenix]

I reckon she's a neutral-evil deity. she has those shimekawa on her clothes indicating some kind of divinity in her, but she yeeted the talisman that wards off evil. that talisman was probably stopping her from enacting 'justice' on the scumbags.
I bet the missing girl was murdered by a local or she wanted to die cause of what locals had done to her, and now FMC has taken over her body. maybe she was someone MC had been kind to or wanted to be with him, but some locals did something horrific to her because of it (he mentioned how it's all sex and bullying with them.)

 

[misopogon]

So like, is she a regular murderer or something supernatural?

Crazy theory: she's a deity of some obscure Shrine that Ota once took care of one time in his life, so after years of neglect and suddenly recieving care from someone, she turned into the person (or being) that she is now.

Well, there are actually a lot of hints scattered around that indicate Ayame IS an evil being of sorts, I mean apart from the obvious scene near the end (MC's slaughtered father) and the omnious aura of the last panel.

• For once the charm here... 厄除御守 [Yakuyoke Omamori], which literally says "Talisman to ward of Evil" (could also be misfortune or disaster but evil should be more appropriate here). She crushes that charm instead of giving it back, which a good person would definitely not do.
• as already mentioned, her eyes don't look very human at all (those are the eyes of a predator or demonic being). Also her nails looking like sharp claws is probably not just random.
• Ayame's expressions/reactions look somewhat animal-like, especially when she's happy. In a way she comes across like a teasing cat (in her case likely a 化け猫 - Bake Neko) or a playful fox (likely not a 狐 "Kitsune" but a 妖狐 "Youko") - example of that would be when she's mistaken for MC's "girlfriend".
• she wears a 標縄 (Shimenawa) as a decorative part of her choker. And if you look closely, she has another two of those attached to her skirt. Within Shinto belief these knots are tied with sacred cords or ropes, the latter mostly used to cordon off consecrated areas - or, like shown here, as part of talismans/charms (usually meant to ward off evil). If she was a normal person it could be a fashion choice, but...
• The fact that Ayame wears those Shimekawa (despite being obviously evil aligned and crushing MC's charm) is kind of telling but also contradictive - unless she wears them out of spite and hers are either desecrated ones or they are meant to restrain her powers. If she is the mentioned "Kiji", which is an option, that would make sense. Or she is one of Kiji's servants, which is more likely than her being the actual evil deity.
• There was this poster in one panel about a missing female who had some resemblance to Ayame - maybe Ayame is a spirit who took possesion of or consumed that person's body to create an appearance that would help her getting close to the MC. If she is an inhumane monster looking for the MC that would make sense.
• she uses a literal catchphrase... "I finally found you" and also tells the MC that she knows about him being kind, which indicates that these two have a history the MC isn't aware off. It could also be that Ayame wasn't looking for the MC specifically but for a human being that meets certain conditions, like really hating people or being very unfortunate and miserable, which could be something she can exploit or draw power from.
• Ayame also more or less tells the MC that she will grast his every wish, no matter what he asks off her. This is not something you'd expect to hear from a person. If she were just a normal yandere, she'd probably phrase it like "I would do anything for you" and not talk about granting wishes. Seemingly Ayame has every intention to quite literally do what she told the MC. He said his father should just die... and Ayame heard it clearly. Good thing she didn't hear MC wishing for his bullies to drop dead or we'd already have a couple of bodies piled up. But that will happen soon enough I guess...

In the end we will only know once more is revealed.

it seems the protagonist might have been a great shaman, and Ayame a demonic fox-beast whom he spared and befriended; she fell in love with him and vowed to find and serve him.

Him just letting the tears flow while looking at his computer. I wonder if the mangaka(s) was a social worker and saw some stuff, or maybe even went through this before. The atmosphere is just so vivid that I feel like it can't just be some coincidence.
Hoping things get better for him.

 

[bastek66]

How did she tear his arms off?

 

[yourbaldhead]

Ootsuka Reika sensei, it's been years since I seen her art​

Hmm. Since the biggest options seem to be between Kitsune and Bakeneko, I think I'm gonna have to lean towards Bakeneko for my vote.

My reasoning is pretty simple, but also inconclusive. We've got the cat eyes and sharp nails. Which really just hint toward being an animal. The thing that makes me suspect cat most is the collar, much more likely to put a collar on a cat after all, but she COULD still be a fox.

She also has a tendency to do little cat smiles in her chibis :3. Which, again, also happens with foxes. But less often.

Honestly, my biggest suspicion, is that I think the "I know how kind you are" thing is gonna be your ol' "boy took care of an animal that then died when he was younger and then it became an evil spirit to repay him" plot. And that feels more likely to happen with a cat than a fox ya dig? Especially when they seem to going for a "grounded" tone.

I'd be curious to see the kanji for "Kiji-sama" in the raws. I wonder what hints that could give. But sadly my google fu wasn't strong enough to find them.

 

[ryuumajin]

Oh, ain't this some pretty girl falls for some regular Ota...
Oh wait, this HIGHLY details couldn't be that easy...
OH YEAH, INTERESTING CRIMINAL AND YANDERE CASE

Okay, okay, I'm in.

 

[Astromarine]

A couple of thoughts on that.
1. She actually left the talisman at the scene of the crime

welll, the last (human) person to put his greasy prints on the talisman was the bully, so maybe killing two birds with one stone?

 

[putraa25]

WOAH seems promising, I'm looking forward

 

[Late_Komei]

I am greatly invested in this story.

 

[TheGabinator]

Well that certainly took a turn

 

[Plauge_doctor]

As I put in my credits page for the series, I found that Kiji-sama is apparently an obscure deity worshiped by a historical caste of Japanese woodworkers called the Kijishi.
