The City of Imprisoned Love - Vol. 5 Ch. 38 - “Transference”

[kelohmello]

This manga just does whatever the hell it wants. It's just Bleach if Bleach was a thriller.
This is exhausting.

 

[SoMaKa]

ummm what?

It was already mentioned that the technology to upload mind to a matrix like world exists (and was created by the old man, or at least based on his research), and all of humanity used it. Many (or maybe all) of the people in that virtual fake city lived in the real world in the past (possibly a long time ago since time in the virtual world isn't the same as in the real world) and got there using this tech. It's also why the specialist powers all deal with the mind, since it's all just data in the matrix.

In the same way they can upload the mind to an artificial body in the real world (in this case Inaba's body, who might be a normal AI in the first place and not just a human mind uploaded). Basically Makoto's mind exited the matrix and entered a robot/artificial human body in the real world (which is why the chapter is called transference, as in data/mind transference).

Hmm ... I thought Yuki's boobs were bigger.

 

[justforthelulz]

So we're getting some answers directly from the old man next chapter, right?
Don't tell me Ai's true consciousness was the old man's all along.

 

[yorusugoi777]

@FStubbs welp that's Inaba, she has ponytail while Yukiko has twintail.

 

[Starbright]

Confused did they commit double suicide looked like she killed him last chapter did she decide to kill herself also if they are just data are they really dead.

And series took gender bender term could imagine what that old man created that android for.

 

[loki266]

... And dropped.

 

[cpapaul]

I'm no longer expecting that the next chapter would clarify things, but I hope that before this ends everything would be explained and it would all make sense.

 

[AbuHajaar]

That's a bacteriophage

Also yay tits

 

[bosbarret]

Yukiko: How did she even die!?
Makoto: starts talking like a psychologist.
Reality: She just got stabbed into her private place and died.

 

[yasashikakashi]

Expected comments to make lewd jokes about "Makoto is inside Yukiko lol".
I am sad.
"I got fat eating too much cake" is a nice line, deserved better than a micro-panel.

 

[Rellishfan1234]

Feels like this manga is getting axed.

 

[Tamerlane]

Why a bacteriophage? Is there so symbolism about viruses and computers that I'm not piecing together, no pun intended?

 

[relic626]

damn.... gender swap.
Aite imma head out folks.
It was fun, but i strictly don't partake in gender swaps of any nature.
Peace!

 

[phil777]

Honestly, would you rather stare at the Male MC while he gets explained all that shit? NO! You wanna look at boobs. Hence the gender change by possession!

 

[Rin2k]

Suddenly hit with 177013.

Now, being serious, this chapter felt very ShindoL-esque tbh.

 

[gouder]

You know what to do.

 

[Starbright]

Also the robot looks suspiciously alot like his friend

 

[Corprus]

I wonder if this is ending soon cause man, the story pacing has been on a roller coaster and it looks like we're near the end but what if the author has even more things in reserve than I cannot imagine.
I also kind of had my suspicions about that delivery manager being an ally since she kind of gave infos about the specialists out of nowhere like she new she was being listened.
Anyway, binge reading so far was exhausting, I read the first two volumes in Japanese and picked up the English translation after and it seems to be a good translation so far, thank you!
