Witch Hat Atelier - Vol. 7 Ch. 40

the mind wipes is giving me Men In Black vibes 😂

 

[Daijin]

MO kudasai!

 

[frubam]

pg 26: I ship it.

 

[musicfreak12]

Oh no, I got this Oyasumi Punpun vibe when they do that double page meteor shower

 

[Flitx]

Bro that mind wipe legitimately made me sad. I was so excited because we had finally gotten to see him opening up and he was just about to learn the secrets behind Qiffrey's actions and then the manga broke my heart by erasing his memories, which is so gonna either have a big effect on his character as he's grown or is gonna come back to bite them when he needs to remember some essential information that has gotten erased due to its connection to the memories.

 

[Writerfromanotherstar]

Qiffrey is very selfish for taking advantage of Orugio's kindness... But I still feel very sorry that he was used as a test-subject.

I still hope Coco becomes a brimhat for some reason.

 

[tralxus]

Kinda sad because he didn't trust his friend but he also has a good reason for it.... AND WHY IS THIS MANGA SO UNDERRATED????????

 

[SaintEh]

cold blooded dude...

 

[fangirlnoises]

QIFFERY....

 

[Esor]

Why are you so cruel dude?

 

[lcvn]

@musicfreak12 oh man, I get that memory too

 

[HappierFrags]

The train of thought I have here is that the Brimhats new magic is to see into the future somewhat relating to the eye that was taken from Coco’s teacher and because of the new further seeing magic they know that Coco will become their ‘saviour’

 

[Nauan]

Isn't it already obvious that they made an entire another human using Qifrey's eye? And that's Iguin.

Iguin's mask is a fucking eye, the first thing that Qifrey says when he meets Sasaran is "do you know me? rather, do you know a brimhat who looks like me?" and all the parallels about both of them being Coco's teachers really sells the Qifrey's clone theory for me.

 

[nivinator]

@Nauan Yooooo that's genius and actually makes a lot of sense. Can't believe I didn't think of this before.

 

[Rukja]

i also already thought that iguin could be qifreys brother

but how about this qifrey doesnt have memorys right? maybe he was the human that was created by using the left eye of iguin ^^

 

[Ezplorer]

Dayumn, I feel for Quifrey because of the good reasons he has for doing that. But still it's terrible, and it would be better if Orugio or someone helps him

 

[diidlydoo]

I call it:

Spoiler

Qifrey is going to be this series main antagonist.

i would disagree. key words spoken by quifrey before he erased Orugio's memories is that Orugio is amazing at seeing through lies but is a bad liar. this means He is a liability if let into the secrets Quifrey holds because if Orugio is questioned he will easily be found out because he is a bad liar. by all means i think Quifrey really isn't a bad person. nor

Spoiler

is he going to be the antagonist

i think its be quite established that Quifrey's most cherished thing is his current life. in terms of importance revenge is secondary only to his love for his students and current life. Coco may be a lead to the brimhats but i believe if presented the choice between Coco and his revenge. he will chose Coco becasue Coco is now part of his "home"

@thedestroyership probably helps a lot by not being generic isekai story #191031923 that there are so many of these days. It's refreshing to find any relatively new series that isn't an isekai, really wish Japan would just drop that genre already because no one knows how to write a compelling story or good characters for them. For whatever reason they just can't do deep, solid character development like this. Instead it's just constantly OP cardboard MC with Harem and boring no tension stories with the occasional awful side of slavery and rape. Let isekai die already.

reason why there are so many isekai is because people in japan are DESPERATE for escapism they really want to immerse themselves in the fantasy of leaving their rotten lives behind and start anew with clean slate with everything they desire but do not have. it doesn't mater how crappy it is. notice how often its either a shut-in or a overworked office worker that is the one that gets isekaied. they don't care its shallow because they aren't looking to read a story they are looking to escape their life.

Qifrey chooses to erase his own friend's memories, but not to use forbidden magic to cure his eye?
