I'm guessing the Heart Taker is his own Shadow but maybe that's too obvious to be the real answer...?

 

[Remissio]

Poor child. Hopefully you can find yourself among the murky dark thoughts Mars, and shone brightly.

Merry Christmas! Sorry to hear you're sick and got into a car accident, get well soon! And hope they find the perp!

I don't mind. It would make for some good character development.

In any case, Ephie needs to realize she's like a 10/10 and picking up Mars at school like that is gonna cause a small scandal lol.

Im guessing its either the friend Kagni or someone outside of the school. I'm personally curious about the whole manliness freakout he had and wonder if he only has those skirt chasing things to prove he is a man.

If you have a bat everything looks like a ball; But honestly it kind of just makes sense to me, It's the 'Subconscious' for a reason, if we knew what we didn't know we knew then it wouldn't be 'subconscious.'

At least that's my rationalization...

These are truly the thoughts of someone with no repressed issues regarding their gender.
The most cis, masculine thoughts I've ever seen.
Not even necessarily calling them trans. Just saying they've got issues with the role they think they've gotta take.

 

[BayuAH]

Well, you just need think the skirt as the Scottish man's skirt. Problem solves, right?

Thank you for the update! I hope you are getting well.

It’s mars look at the last few pages

 

[TheGrandMugwump]

The author sure isn't being subtle about whose shadow that is. The way Ephie is acting makes me wonder if she knows.

 

[erkay]

Yeaah. I think know who the shadow is now lol.

I do wonder what Mars will look like by the end of the series though. At this point, although he has alot development, he still has so many personal issues to work through and is far from what a proper hero is suppose to look like.

 

[Forcer222]

In one of the pages ephie looks at her hand when she transforms into scarlet and its slightly deformed, is she slowly losing her powers?

My genuine first thought on reading that page was "I know what you are...." lmao

Oh dear god, he's eggmaxxing...

 

[KingofMemes69]

Thanks for the new chapter, I’m loving the soul searching mars is doing lately.

Projecting period cramps dysphoria onto my underling.

 

[MTFish90]

the shadow is a representation of "his" internalised homophobia/tranphobia

It's peak.
Makes me wonder if him blushing/temporalily getting infatuated is more meaningful than him just being affect the shadow's power but idk

 

[MTFish90]

either way the character development in this chapter and the stuff that will inevitably happen in the next is very nice to see

 

[MagicalWyrm]

Even though it is quite likely that it's his shadow, I really hope it isnt, cuz I feel like his core struggles are more about self confidence than womanizing; and he's probably not getting two shadows. Although on second thought, maybe the shadow will have more aspects than we've seen so far? Either way, i'm loving the series!
