An interesting mini arc. Thanks for the translations as always

It felt like Todate and Haha are in a hunting videogame, with ammo and guns just laying around, but without owner. It looked like Todate implied she had had more visitors in the past, whom she explained what a Mayoiga is. I guess that links a bit to Sorawo's dreams.

It makes me wonder if Todate is part of the Otherside and Sorawo and Toriko have become used to or immune to low level threats. Maybe the Otherside is playing with them? Creating something non anomalous as a way of infecting Sorawo's head? could explain the dreams.

Also Toriko was so precious this chapter, so openly adoring Sorawo when she was reminiscing.

I can't tell if that deer meat is more or less safe to consume. Them being able to evolve in that direction means that there's quite a few supernatural things you can achieve while still maintaining sane.

 

[solamente]

idk why but that was lowkey terrifying

 

[DexTimeLord]

Maybe the meat is slowly turning them in something else

that's not a bad theory- and you're almost on the right track re: how the otherside operates (that's in the next volume of the LN though, so look forward to it)- but the dreams i don't think are ever explained in any way, aside from just sorta assuming that they're the result of her unconscious mind reaching what she sees as the logical conclusion of "people living full-time in the otherside, even if they're doing so successfully for now" ...or she's just, y'know, genuinely fucking prophetic out of nowhere or something lol.

Spoiler: worse spoiler

the really bad implications come when you realize the otherside is constantly scanning her brain & it's entirely possible that those prophetic dreams only become prophetic because the othersiders saw them & went "yeah, guess that makes sense lol" & their eventual fate is (arguably) Sorawo's fault

The way we never got to see Todates expression and what they were looking at in the last panel made me somehow more terrified than any horror movie. There are just too many uncertainties to be anything good.

Yeah, really enjoyed this chapter. It was peaceful, yet had a constant feeling of unease.

“Ah, a chill filler”
last page: We got another one

In the wiggle wiggle arc it seems that visual confirmation was a factor in making someone go insane on the Otherside and the deers just adapted to it by covering their eyes, really cool tbh

 

[Arcturys]

When I read the Light Novel I felt like this arc was somehow one of the scariest even though nothing overtly scary happens. After reading the manga version... I still feel that way, it's so unsettling. There's just this constant sense of dread. Everything is just slightly abnormal. The Mayoiga, Todate and Hana, the deer, and especially the road.

 

[Fangtooth]

The end of this arc gave me chills. These last three chapters, but especially this one, had this constant sense of unease. A seemingly normal older woman and a seemingly normal, but slightly too intelligent dog living in the otherside just gives some very wrong vibes, even if nothing bad happens it just feels like we're looking at a facade and at any moment it could just peel away. The dream at the end is such an effective way to leave it.

"Who would ever think to make mayoiga their house?"

well, i mean, in this economy? i would

Right? Honestly surprised Toriko didn't propose the idea before Todate and Hana showed up. She seemed oddly at ease there, and her money worries are ever present, honestly if/when something happens to the hunter I expect her to consider it.

 

[beThereShortly]

The end of this arc was surprisingly creepy... Maybe it's because the rest was so comfy?

For a manga with plenty of horrifying imagery, that panel of the dark path in the forest was somehow one of the scariest.
