[Levankua]

Jesus suicide bagworm babies? Greeeeeeeen? Keep cooking

 

[TheMode]

green skinwalkers I guess

 

[LupusVir]

What the fuck. I don't understand. Green baby man preggers? Green suicide with grass?

Okay. The suicide ropes leading to the big belly are like umbilical cords. So something is making people kill themselves to provide sustenance to whatever is growing inside of Jun, which appears to be a copy of Jun, at least physically. Except it's the evil green thing. I guess the thing doing that is the baby-thing?

They mentioned bagworms. Those are moth larvae and they make cocoons that look that the body of the baby-thing.

I guess it's some kind of life cycle of some weird supernatural creature, and it uses people as hosts for that life cycle. The green Jun is probably the adult form of that.

There was some commentary on the majesty of nature and shit from that one guy. Grass grows out of the suicide people's mouths. There's the whole green motif. That all probably means something together.

Geez...whatever it is that kept the world stable in this universe got their work cut out of them with this. I mean, come on..in a world with killer mascots, merman invasion, giant hands that can kill people because reasons, a briefcase that for some reason cause mass hysteria....SOMEONE would be handling the world..

So yeah, it seems like this time it was some kind of supernatural baby creature that captures people as host bodies to incubate in, then eventually it'll emerge as a copy of that person. While it's incubating, it compels other people in the area to hang themselves using some sort of umbilical cords connected to the incubator in order to provide it sustenance. And once it's birthed, it goes around to infect other people to continue the life cycle.

Hama and Yume would have been victims as well, but their friendship with each other was so strong that they snapped out of its mind control. Honestly, pretty scary how close they were to death, and Yume couldn't smell anything to prevent it.

....Nope...they didn't snap out of it. They're resisting but they were very close to buying it if it weren't for the baby being born..

Yeah, her jobs are basically the epitome of "No Escape"...like I think all of her jobs had the duo barely escape with their lives. I mean, yeah, Q jobs involved some metaphysical stuff...plus cosmic horror but still.

 

[capricieux]

Survived only through sheer willpower huh.
I wonder who the boss was talking to in the last page, looks like she was talking about Hama, not to her.

My favourite example of this is from the manga "You can hear the voice of the dead" which is a similar collection of the protagonist encountering mostly unrelated horror stories, a lot of them can end the world on their own, and actually does crash down together at the end, which is pretty funny.

 

[Mekiaa]

I feel like Yume's nose activates when she smells strong negative emotions (grey) or active ill intent/malice (red). This has made our two protagonists complacent. They're unprepared against entities which aren't actively malicious but their existence/actions causes harm to humans. Like green is probably for nature.

 

[Sovyonok]

This might be me reaching but if we count away we have Jun (1), 4 initial party members and 4 more from the gray job folks which equals to 9 people, maybe representing the 9 months it takes for a baby to be born. The glasses dude and the other guy, along with the girl succumbed to this thing before Hama and Yume did therefore they managed to slip away since the conditions were met. Only thing confusing me about this is how the baby managed to appear on it's own, unless ofc this isn't the first process or they are product of unfinished/premature ones so they appear larvae like, if there weren't enough victims. With Jun, the process is complete and whatever the green thing is has fulfilled it's goal and is moving on to further expanding. Might be tripping tho. Fun case anyways.

"You can hear the voice of the dead"

Great taste, all of Sachiko Uguisu's works are worth a read.

It ends on a cliffhanger, I wanna see the MC stop Cthulhu rising from his slumber..

adding on to this we do actually know that Yume can smell danger of the supernatural kind (black) and safety within the supernatural (white). Though I'd argue that rather than green being something Yume cannot pick up on, this story is just one of those where her nose isn't reliable due to something else mainly the rotting corpses already covering her sense of smell.

 

[Hikineet]

Thanks for the chapters.
