Tsumi to Batsu no Spica - Ch. 39 - Spica's Summer Break (10)

[Aydree]

Brand new character?

Nah, Grandma made an appearance in Chapter 34

 

[Sakuyadorf]

well thats a twist

 

[a_singular_strike]

Thanks for the chapter.

 

[Vmpslushie]

Is the twist gonna be that Spica is actually the cause of the family being killed? Like it's a family of serial killers and Spica set up the entire robbery in order to create a cover for her murder.

It makes a whole lot of sense. How else would Nezumi know about where criminals hide their loot? Nezumi is probably Spica and she used her mind reading abilities to set up these perfect heists.

 

[HoneyPopper]

Dexter, is that you?

 

[Daizeemi]

FFFFFFFFFF NO DONT MAKE GRADMA CRY

 

[Haze123553]

Adopted, eerie, pink hair dead eyes Magic powers?

Elfen lied??

 

[Figtree22]

Love the Grandma

 

[ryuumajin]

Basically Spica herself is an anomaly. Yet she seems liking her adoptive family enough to revenge them, with the help of the Grandma

 

[YAMEROOO3]

That's one cool granny

 

[Friendly-Sentence710]

I bet grandma was/is a vigilante. When Spica touched her, she saw all the criminals that grandma killed. And after having the whole family murdered, grandma is gonna teach Spica everything she knows about how to track and kill criminals.

I'm assuming the "cleaner" thing Grandpa was watching is related to Grandma using her lawclerk abilities to go cleaning up Japan.

Unless it's been kept a secret, granny is still in contact with her, so if she was the cause I don't think granny would help her/not resent her but y'never know (tho i guess, even w/o finding out her powers, if she was a court clerk she prolly has some good observational skills even if she didn't go directly to crime scenes in her youth versus helping out with court cases)

I wouldn't say revenge yet, remember in the first arc, she stated her reason to do all these things was to fix the misplaced button, she may not have much of a good intention.

 

[Nivek]

felt like the story was gonna conclude but since Spica is adopted they can delve deeper!

I tot the incident was going to awaken Spicas powers but since her origin is unknown surely shes something supernatural then.

Interesting... has this all been some long term plan of Spica's? Getting adopted by this family?

Also the implication when she touched the grandma...that she did already have her powers

 

[Nivek]

Nah, Grandma made an appearance in Chapter 34

That brought a new twist,she wasn't a bystander and downright misleading the detective

 

[Edo4169]

Who would believe grandama is such a badass!!

And that plot twist? After we think Spica is Tsumugi but she actually adopted!?

 

[Vertiplano]

something tells me that it was Spicas plan to join the family because she probably saw something in grandmas past

 

[looc64]

I was wondering why she didn't look like the rest of her family.

Reminded me of a one shot about a family where everyone is drawn seinen style except for the daughter who has bigass shoujo hair and eyes because she's going through a "phase" lol.

I do not see this manga ending on a positive note. For now, Spica only kills those who committed actual crimes which entail killing innocent people. Usually in scenarios like this, the killer starts getting used to the feel of killing. They will grab any opportunity or excuse to kill. Like she might start going after people who committed ordinary crimes and kill them to satisfy her urges. Then we have the case of that detective. He has already figured out that something's wrong with Spica and he's quite close to figuring her out completely. How would she keep him quiet? Would he let her continue doing her work in the shadows to snuff out the criminals or would she put him out too? Then there's her classmate too. That boy's also got a bright mind.

Anyhow, Spica herself might be killed in the end as well. Like if people got to know that she can read minds, they could easily alter their thoughts or put fake thoughts in their head to throw her off completely.

Excited to see how this ends.
