Damn, this is a good chapter. To be honest, I often skip 0.5 chapters in series cause they always tend to be omakes and I just want to keep reading the story I was just interested in. Glad I didn't skip this one.

So they acknowledge that the "parasite" is metaphorical in the chapter after they start saying it's literal.
Nice.

Glad I read the commentary, it was interesting xd

Thank you for also translating the commentary. It was a good read.

@AnimuVsMango
Miaki's works tend to have that. The supernatural element is "real" but is it really? For all we know maybe it isn't, the characters say it's real but still, maybe it isn't, the story wouldn't change that much because of the way the themes are approached and the storytelling.

She is so ahead of any girl her age that I can forgive their age-gap just for it tbh

That's a nice picture on page 6.

"Looking back on it, maybe that moment was what Rudolf Steiner called "The Nine-Year Crisis" and "Crossing the Rubicon." (Page 8)

"The Nine-Year Crisis", an interesting read. Would recommend.

Also appreciate that the author added the volume 1 cover with nothing over it, those are rare. (Page 19)
