Sister and Giant: A Young Lady Is Reborn in Another World - Ch. 22

[SilverHarken]

Hinako x Elis isn't going to be a thing? That's disappointing. Happy to get this series back though. Thanks for the TL.

Becon stated this is a history about two sisters, so unfortunately already confirmed there's no Elis x Hinako.

This feels more comedic than before

 

[Suben]

Wendy seems pretty touchy-feely with Inukai. He's technically a sister so it'd still totally count as yuri.

 

[SUPER7X]

I think this series is worse for moving things so quickly, but it has so many intresting ideas that I'm still on board.

Am I the only one who has trouble getting some of the pages to load, even after refresh multiple times?

Great chapter.
They build a bunch of stuff, making the Isekai turn to be afterlife with different ages give a bunch of variety and some curiosities
All this build up indicating that is planning something big and not just Junko been the main villain.
Also like how make the boy a gentleman, ironically it wasn't affect by the worst part of our age

 

[Resound]

the gex they did must be real amazing make a whole island sink

 

[FSLGS]

Its kinda nice that the two main girls consider themselves family.

And I can believe that the one doesnt want to do romance ever again.

You know i always thought about how in older anime and mangas like in Magic Knight Rayearth, Escaflowne and even Inuyasha the characters normaly didn't die before going to another world and they almost always have the goal of comming back home while in the modern isekai they almost always died to go to another world and either there's no way to come back or they don't even think about comming back, enjoying the new fantasy life more. It being a mirror of the insastifaction with current society could be an away to interpret it.

Interesting observation, but it's worth mentioning that all of those series premiered after the bubble had already burst and the crash was well underway. It may be indicative of a more "we can still right the ship and return to prosperity" mentality in the 90s before pessimism won out in the 2000s.

Even old series like Digimon had their protagonists have the goal of going back home.

Digimon Adventure was even later than the other series mentioned. Rayearth ran 1993-95, the Escaflowne anime aired in 1996 (though apparently the main writer had been working on the idea for a while, since at least 1990), and Inuyasha also began serialization in 1996, not long after Escaflowne's run ended. Digimon Adventure debuted in 1999, and the Digimon V-Tamer manga with its own isekai plot and alternate version of Tai Yagami began serialization ahead of it in 1998.

This kind of feels like a chapter that a manga would end on...

Based on the comment about marital polygamy and hierarchies, it seems Elis and Carla’s relationship has evolved over four years from fighting for their onee-sama’s attention to “okay, we can all be in a relationship together, but we still need to decide between the two of us who is the top and who is the bottom!”

 

[Sandmann1st]

They isekai’d a yuri wingman 🫡

Becon stated this is a history about two sisters, so unfortunately already confirmed there's no Elis x Hinako.

How does that confirm no Elis x Hinako? They aren't blood, the one she isekai'd with was her "sister" and they had a thing, and the Demon King and Elis are "sisters" and they said in this chapter that the demon king likes Elis romantically.

 

[Wachtail]

Lmao what a conclusion!
Thanks for the chapter!

So the endgame would be Hinako getting back together with Junko.

 

[cryum]

I think Wendy sticks with Inukai as the one who seems most bitter about cooperation, but both Inukai and Hinako are okay with it because he's the best person to explain that cooperation and living with pride is still pretty great.

Never mind, managed to get them to load now. Weird.

So the endgame would be Hinako getting back together with Junko.

I think the love-hate relation between Junko and Hinako is still really strong. I think there was a short which is not translated about one of the previous timelines before savestates in which Junko killed Hinako and Elis went full rogue. In her despair, Junko whispered "Save me, Hinako". And Hinako has always been saying she "has to" kill Hinako for "the promise that day" and she would never betray "Hinako that day". I think in the end at most one of them will survive.

If you think you confuse about the story, just use the girl who got smashed by truck-kun as POV. So no need to read from the start. At least for this chapter.

Indeed, i inagine the generation that grew in the 90's would be the ones writing the isekai light novels of the 2010's that would start to feed the manga and anime genre by 2015 onwards, while the people working in animation and manga up to the early 2000's could still be the ones that saw and lived the "golden age".
