I wonder if the school is somehow causing the man-eaters creation

Surprisingly slow burn, but it's all unfolding in a very interesting way.

Well, it wasn't difficult to understand that those protesters are just a bunch of raving idiots.

This series has a really pleasant pace.

What i am curious is what will be of our little couple here, i understand that mentally he is quite literally a guy but it seems she lets her female characteristics out much more often than not... man, even with the context of the manga this comment got confusing, anyway Maru is as horny as ever and at least scored something, payback for the denied boob grab.

I hope that killing the core while still human won't kill the person if that is the case. :(

But man, way to ride on out emotions with the cliffhanger that last chapter and then its relatively tame resolution.

I wonder if the school and the Immortalities facility are connected somehow. Maybe the girl behind the curtains is patient zero and they are recreating the diseases in the school somehow? Man I really can't wait until the big reveal for all this mystery.

@alacaelum It's interesting to see how much being in a female body changes and affects you. It's a common gag but in a serious manner, who knows if you start changing once you are in a different body.

Most of the hormones are produced outside of the brain, and their effect on behavior is massive, so it is quite plausible that a male brain transplanted into a female body would gradually adapt to it to some extent. That being said, Kiruko is still into their sister, so Maru's out of luck there imo.

Coming to think of it, how does one actually qualify a situation like this? Is Kiruko straight or lesbian? :)

@imaginetheaircolored I think it's the opposite. The school people didn't recognize the maneater core after the cremation. Also, all the kids are depicted as being very healthy otherwise. Originally I thought the kids were the immortalites and they ALL have the maneater core because the old guy was right, and the school is a facility for making immortal maneater-human hybrids. However, the new revelation by Usami suggests otherwise. Probably the immortalite rumor is a corruption of the real situation. Usami is prolonging the girl's life forcibly to prevent her turning into a maneater after death because she is infected with the maneater disease. This could easily be misunderstood as, "If you have maneater cells/organs your life will be prolonged." The real situation of the immortalites is that Usami is amputating their infected body parts to keep them from turning into maneaters. If this is what immortalites are, then maybe the kids are an attempt to create a pure, healthy breeding population of humans who aren't infected with maneater disease. That's why they're all artificially bred and incubated. Maybe they're even somehow intended to be immune to the disease.

If so, the project has failed.

I think this explanation fails to account for many things that feel plot-relevant. Not that the others ones are any better, though. There are still many things that are unknown and can't fit tidy into the theories.

This is what we have thus far:
[ul]* The facility kids all have some sort of severe genetic modifications, giving them superhuman abilities. One of the chapters explicitly says Tarao was very strong and the other said his body was "made to be immune to known diseases", so he was probably one of the better specimen.
* The caretakers don't know the truth behind man-eaters or the corresponding disease. Based on their conversations and reactions they never knew how to treat Tarao, clearly hadn't seen a man-eater core before, and still don't know how to diagnose the others. This, for one, clearly proves that at this point they know less about man-eaters than Maru, Kiruko, or Dr. Usami.
* Maru's backstory doesn't seem to have any direct connection to that particular facility, even though he has the same enhanced body capabilities as the kids there. He was never mentioned by the facility kids or staff, either.
* We don't know what the connection is between Kona's drawings and the corresponding man-eaters. The staff don't seem to pay them any mind.
* We don't know what the fuck those "babies" are, but they clearly aren't human. Anatomy doesn't work that way.
* We don't know what the deal with Asura is, who mailed Mimihime's nude pic to Shiro and then deleted it, who hinted at the outside to Tokio, and how this is all connected.
* We don't know what the drug intended for Tokio does or what Maru has to do with it.
* The facility kids are explicitly prevented from learning anything about the outside world, to the extent that most of them don't even know there is one (it was confirmed early on that Tokio coming to that conclusion was an unfortunate accident rather than something the caretakers expected to happen). This suggests they were never intended to ever see it in the future. They're also all very young, barely in their puberty. In one of the chapter's, a "pick up date" was mentioned, so they were probably bred for that purpose (organ donors? breeding partners?).
* The doctor that transplanted Haruki's brain in Kiriko's body was said to have been studying man-eaters. It might be that he was on to something, and the operation was part of his ongoing research.[/ul]
