Well, she reached out to another person. I guess she is developing socially.
I mean, with her power, she definitely is a Mary Sue once she tackle her social problem. So I guess now I'm hoping for her to not rob people of their growth.

Thanks for the chapter :D

This manga is the result of mixing One Punch Man, Solo Leveling, and Bocchi The Rock! all into one. Hoshinomiya is just Genos, and Kinoko's family living in Gunma directly parallels Saitama living in the Z-City ghost town.

I'm still wondering; how exactly does ranking up make a person stronger? We see Hoshinomiya using electricity-powered weaponry, so I assume ranking up doesn't just buff a person's physical stats...?

Finally, I just realized how hilarious it is that Kinoko is afraid of talking to strangers but not afraid of dealing with Strangers. Is it like this in the original Japanese as well?

In the original jp they refer to them as 異界者 (otherworlders) with the furigana/reading of "strangers".

知らない人 (lit. person that is not known) is used in general context as stranger.

So the "stranger" stranger we have in English isn't the same in Japanese

Gunma country bumpkins are just built different

May as well play the opening to season 2 of Solo Leveling for that "fight" at the end. (Reawaker)

Or would the One Punch Man Season 1 OP be more appropriate?
