Shimeji Simulation - Vol. 2 Ch. 17 - Shopping Mall

What if they were all manga characters? Wouldn't that be a crazy twist? Also, I totally forgot they were in high school. They look like they'd be in early middle school.

Fried egg shenanigans! Truman Show reference fits the themes well, but probably not foreshadowing. But one could counter that by saing anything that references a theme is foreshadowing.

 

[cillbosby]

oh wow Truman Show reference.

 

[Juco]

The egg physics reminds me of An Experiment from the Madness Combat series. Don’t pull that egg too far away from her head

In one of the final chapters of Girl's Last Tour, you can see a picture of the Shimeji girl amongst many others that appear at the same time... I wonder what's the implication of that; how are those two connected?

@Shareazu—

Well, here are things bearing upon that question: [ul]The title is “Shimeji Simulation”.
The world in which Shimeji moves has multiple oddities like one would find in virtual reality gone wrong.
The older sister seems to be wrestling with the structure as such of what seems to be reality.
The prequel involved the older sister beginning a project somehow associated with the suicide years ago of a girl whom she loved.
Chito and Yuuri make multiple appearances in this world, and Yuuri has alluded to

Spoiler

her death,

albeït in a way that Chito dismissed as hyperbole.
The apparent images of Shimeji and of Majime in Girls' Last Tour are from the ostensible past of the world in which Chito and Yuuri live. [/ul] It seems that Shimeji is in a virtual reality. We don't know that anyone represented in this world has an existence outside of it. Chito and Yuuri could be represented in a single simulation during two intervals, one corresponding to Shimeji Simulation and the other to Girls' Last Tour. Or the world of Girls' Last Tour may not have been a simulation, in which case the world of Shimeji Simulation is likely to be a simulation within the world of Girls' Last Tour.
