Also I'm wondering if the next arc will deal with Chacha or at least in one of the next couple arcs.

they find her but shes comatose and then they get the Q ppl to heal her and they are "successful" but its clear somethings still wrong with her. im up to the current chinese raws and they dont elaborate on what actually happend to chaha

Man, these chapters were a throwback to saving my game while I played Signalis, with the damn flashbang of red

Silent Hill estates: one rent, two whole apartment’s.

I'd like to see how Mr. Nakatari is written in the original Japanese. The kanji may have some alternate reading that might explain why the name leads to death.
If anyone has raws please get in touch.

The "King of Death" is Nashimoto, who might also be "Mr. Nakatari" originally. The KoD was the body in the closet. When the closet was opened and they got to see the body inside it, they recognized it as Nashimoto. Basically, Nashimoto/Nakatari's suicidal tendency is somehow infectious and everyone in his apartment complex committed suicide after getting infected. This continued on with everyone sent in to clean up. The whole building is a trap.

100% this

The red color is jarring, it makes the whole arc feel way more dangerous and claustrophobic than the rest. I think there's something especially dangerous about jobs from Kuroiwa, whose name feels especially noteworthy since "kuro" means "black" and these are "gray part-time jobs".

Also, I just noticed that there's a theme of colors in major names. Shirahama, Kokuryo (which is another way to read the kanji for "black," though not sure if her name uses that kanji), Akagawa, now Kuroiwa... Hmm. Wonder if there's a significance to two characters with names that use the word black.

I really appreciate these insights! I caught on about the kuro = black connection, but I'm not well-versed in Japanese and having someone who's even a little familiar with the language help out with the symbolism is great! This is why translater's notes at the ends of chapters are something I appreciate dearly
