Welcome Back, Alice - Vol. 7 Ch. 36 - Setting off

[Steallet]

That was... something.

Will she though? I don't think she was ever confused about it. Didn't she noped out of there because she knows she is a woman and any idea of "stepping down from it" is just kind of nonsense to her? Hence, there is no place for her in that place.

Her reception is certainly ambiguous- I think you've raised a good point about whether or not she'll actually take it to heart; the difficult question that this manga attempts to grapple with in a world of generally binary conceptions of gender is... what does gender look like outside of that binary? can we even call it gender? Oshimi attempts to offer the answer in the form of Kei and Yo's acceptance of a seeming nonbinary identity- and Kei invites Mitani to do the same, to unburden herself of gendered expectations, but, as you said, whether or not she actually will is another question entirely.

chopping your dicks off together is kind of romantic TBH tho

[CutiecakeX]

Reading through this chapter thinking oshimi shuzo's goddamn idiot, but after that double page

[Gem-Bug]

Somewhat looking like we're going to get a happy ending

Thank you replying with better words than we could.

Exactly to us Mitani's rejection in that scene was more about being confronted with the sheer weight of that being a possibility, we were definitely not implying we think she will necessarily make a decision one way or the other. She clearly not super happy with the box shes in though and theres been a looming discomfort in her relationship with Yo and the roles they're both expected to play in it, Mitani's visualized in some choice moments to put it mildly.

But its Oshimi so this chapter could mean further introspection or just an excuse for some misery. We're keen either way haha

 

[Lustrist]

wholesome 100 moment

 

[ghostkun]

A new body... who are they going to murder? I guess we'll find out in the next chapter.

It's not like I dislike this series but to me it's one of Oshimi's weaker works. I get the message and all but I feel like something is lacking. But lets see where this goes now. Looks like it's ending soon.

THOT Status: DESTROYED!

God she's annoying lol. Me me me.

I’ve only ever read two of Oshimi’s manga, this and Chi no Wadachi. I swear, so far each has this feeling of it about to end, but it just keeps going and I’m still hooked to see the next. It makes me worried for when I read his other works…

 

[Shot8manga]

Mitani behaviour escalation wasn't written fluidly, but her roles is necessary to invoke conflict and emotional turmoil between the characters; which made this work such a gripping read. This chapter feels its nearing it end, but I wonder what happen to Kei at Hokkaido contain more story being flesh out, if it related to Kei's identity crisis or angst.

 

[SunnyD88]

What the fuck lol

 

[Admmi]

She cant blame our genderless alice, he/she did try to bring her into the threesome, i wonder where this manga is going from here.
