I really hope this is the case... In my mind, she's still dead but died differentlyShe's going back to help Ruri, isn't she? Despite the fact she tried to kill her and bury the evidence, Arika can't ignore the drugs.
I guess the "temple deep in the mountain with no TV and phones" is where Arika is now, making sure her mom is getting treated. It explains why no one can find her and why she hasn't seek out Nana yet.
I think the mom still also has a chance. Despite still having issues, she is able to recognize Arika, remembers what she likes, and notices she is struggling.
I'm procrastinating on my studies 😃Woah 2 chapters so soon! Thank you!
I thought I included it, my bad, just fixed!Also, no song title ref note at the end? That's rare
Her mom is a drug addict, the thing on page 22 is ecstasy (they commonly have little symbols like smiley faces).I forgot, what happened to her mom here? And what's the significance of page 21? I assume its a tablet or some sorts.
I feel sorry for Arika since right now she's got no one to support her (that she's aware of) especially after telling on her mom & now is struggling to make it through the day. I wouldn't be surprised if she decides to join that temple as a safe haven for her. Hope things turn around for Arika because she deserves to have a good life after surviving attempted murder. Thanks for the translations.
I think she put her mom back in the facility more bc she thought that would be best for her. If her mom was sober, that'd be diff, but knowing she's still on drugs despite everything, she prob figured an actual treatment center would be better than leaving her alone or trying to help her herself (she and her father prob did their best when was a child but saw needed actual professional help). To make that call against her mother's will, putting someone else's health before anything else, took strength that would likely make her more determined to go back for Ruri and do the same. Like a no turning back thingmy mum is addicted to drugs... but forget that! I need to help my friend who hates me and tried to murder me!
I hope so. She's so cute, lolThat one member, Mimi, still has no importance, so my guess is still on that the last mystery is related to her.
Yamamoto is also the mood booster, when everyone is angry or feeling down, or the mood becomes pretty bad, he is the one pushing them to calm down or work together, so I think he is pretty important. I think he is in the most neutral in this manga, but it also makes him have no focus point.Yamamoto also has little importance other than being the one to make the mood lighter, and also their sugar daddy. I'm still hoping he does have some importance, but I don't think he will 😅
