What the fuck. I was not expecting her to kill him? She’s supposed to be some being of higher intelligence yet she can’t understand that it’s him who she fell in love with not his “body”. As we seen from before reincarnating the same person completely alters the original personality/ego. So this is a wtf moment.

well he's a baby this time not a clone. so who knows man. I sure the heck don't. I stopped trying to understand.😭

Maybe this new cross breeding flesh fusion compensated for the errors clone copy paste would have done?

And that opens a new can of problematic worms.
Are they still dating? Is she gonna marry the baby she raises? Will "Noah" become President of the world someday?

 

[Thank]

On one hand, what the actual fuck.

On the other hand, we should've seen something like this coming.

Edit:
Also, I know that people think this series is all kinds of fucked up, but in hindsight, I think maybe that's what the author was getting at. As humans, we tend to view ourselves in a positive light; there are very few stories where the main character isn't, at bare minimum, somewhat human, either in appearance, mentality or mannerisms. Even when it's a story about animals with no human intervention, 95 times out of 100 their will be a human narrating the story, the animals will talk (out loud, in their heads or have their grunts "translated") or some other bs. Heck, even with something like aliens, we as humans are almost always forced to make them human-like in order for alien characters to be appealing, weird appendages, features, characteristics o otherwise. Which is probably also why Lovecraft's works were also so horrifying, both in-universe and to us as readers.

But with this story, it hits different. Because even though it starts off as the "aliens living among us" trope mixed with what initially looked like a typical high-school romcom, it all went out the window the moment Karagaki, justifiably depending on who you ask, got perforated.

I honestly don't know how to word this next bit properly, so bare with me. At the end of the day, Haru truly is an alien; even if she looks somewhat human, her way of thinking and morality is beyond most of our comprehensions. Instead of a Black-Grey-White Morality, she runs with Blue and Orange Morality. And... goddammit, my head hurts thinking about all this.

Make of all this what you will, I'm probably wrong on most of this, but I just felt compelled to type all this out before it occupied my brain for the rest of the day.

I really like the way you broke it down. It's true that most people are probably trying to frame Haru's actions within a human's perspective. That's why her actions make no sense.

What was really jarring for me was how Haru did not "respect" human consciousness; she didn't mind blasting someone and "rebuilding" them, even if the consequence of that was that person losing who they were. Haru probably doesn't frame consciousness in the same way we do - and boy does it show.

That being said, I'm curious to see if class rep will retain some elements of who he was.

More or less typical alien morals kind of story. In the end they're unfathomable.

 

[Hugh_Mann]

It feels like every series is ending now yeesh

 

[nameless0ne]

She likely just built him a new body and transferred his consciousness/memories into it. Probably since it is harder to do than to clone a body - he is now an infant.

Well, "typical" probably isn't the right word for it, but yeah, in the end, they're completely foreign to us.

 

[koga88]

Good, dude should get fucked over for even entertaining her idea. I hope her plan falls apart in the finale too.

 

[UnknownNoodle]

Stellaris modders, you are needed

 

[kAvlerInSpace]

On the contrary, most of the stuff she liked about him that she listed in chapter 19 (cf. ch. 19, p.4-5) didn't have much to do with his personality or anything directly downstream from it.

she literally said she liked his personality

Again, the fact you found it jarring was most likely intentional. Other than that, you're right.

...All sharks have been jumped, and the sharks are jumping the other sharks. It turns out this species of shark survives by jumping over other members of the same, onward into infinty.

I hope they at least have the alien equivalent of red hot, full force, double reverse ultra-SEGGS for our trouble.

 

[Thank]

Yeah, I know. My use of "jarring" was to describe the effect it had on me, not to suggest something was wrong with the way things were carried out by the author.

 

[yummyyummy]

WHAT THE FUCK MAN. im getting some serious “sayonara peter pan” vibes from this manga

 

[Udokotela]

yeah this tracks with how much we've seen from here. to her making class rep into more than a human is a showing of hee love . seeing how much her hair has grown to me implies how much effort went into making him into a hybrid . baller

 

[K-Lye]

I mean.. I’m all for deep introspective drama but I signed up for some extraterrestrial romcom hijinks thanks.. I’d quite like my money back please..

 

[Eighty-six]

she literally said she liked his personality

Without ever elaborating on what that meant. The mention itself was swamped in a series of superficialities.

 

[AngelFlash]

......i'm actually speechless

I don't think she actually killed him, rather, she rearranged him... still the same person.... still weird....
