Ok, If everything goes well (never happens) I should be uploading ch. 80 and 80.5 today.
But I kind of like to see people's comments, so... I'll take my sweet time see you all later

 

[Deoxyribo9]

Possession huh? You know that should be a thing that comes up more than reincarnation, but I guess people are too used to isekais to consider it.

 

[ilusatus]

Yeah, they need to wake up and stop thinking thats Takae, and Marika coming back is the oddity.

 

[Mort1997]

I think Kiesuke is starting to wake up, but maybe thats wishful thinking.

 

[Thyme.Minister]

bruh ten dollars says Marika inhabited the author's body lol

:0

Will Keisuke realize his strong attachment to Takae will turn her into a resentful spirit if he let this going on?

 

[Angelnickl]

Yup this is going places. I am extremely captivated with this turn of events and while the possession explanation could be the truth, I am more hoping for a weirder twist or to double back somehow. Thanks for the translations.

Remember that this is a book about coming back to life and ends with losing one's memories. It's already been hinted the author's situation is similar to Takae/Marika.

 

[D0ncoming5torm]

Damn, posession. I genuinely didn't think of that. And thinking about it now, it makes way more sense than reincarnation. But that also means Takae unknowingly robbed Marika of a fraction of her life which she'll never get back, and if she continues to stay, she will just steal a little girl's life. Keisuke's going to have to make a decision. Either he keeps Takae bound to Marika, effectively killing a little girl to get his wife back, or help his wife pass on permanently so that Marika can live her own life. At least this time they'll finally be able to say goodbye to each other. I was honestly annoyed that the author kept the monk's explanation about the truth a secret twice, but in retrospect that was a damn genius move with how it was revealed in the end.

 

[Kushikime]

Oh goodness things are getting REALLY crazy

 

[EchoGirl]

hopefully marika can get her own happy ending

 

[SchultzD]

Well, without Takae's possession of Marika all Niijimas-Shiraishis would probably still suffer, so I'd say that exchanging a couple of years of Marika's early school life for drastically improving their lives (Marika included) is a fair price.

 

[ThermiteKitty]

Holy crap! It makes sense, I saw some other similar guesses, but the way the manga lays it out really makes the difference between reincarnation and possession hit hard. I think it was all for the best, but I'm curious to see who takes it well and who takes it poorly. Like, I honestly don't know if Keisuke would put Marika over Takae, it's a 50/50 to me.

 

[SUPER7X]

It's being treated like a major reveal, but this seemed obvious?

 

[Threacon]

so this manga was a buddhism propaganda all along?
