The exaggeration of the face in Ch 4 page 9 is definitely just a stylization thing but the first thing that came to mind was that wojack with his mouth open.
This manga is super cute, I love it. All of them joining together to write a manga is so nostalgic. It reminds me of when I tried to draw a shoujo manga with my friends because we watched some shitty 90s anime dubbed in urdu.
What's Komachis deal anyway? Her disregard for other people's lives, and egging Seo on to become more violent, suggests that she's like a green tea bitch sort of character who hates the people around her, but in Ch63, she shows apathy towards the thought of death. Does she show no empathy for others, or does she just think that people's deaths shouldn't be avoided? Her character seems more complex than just being some asshole mean girl who dislikes her classmates.
Thanks for the updates! Chapter 44 didn't get added, but I can get the general gist of what happened. I'm with Kei on this, Michitaka definitely isn't dead, the body found is probably someone elses.
Just finished reading chapter 44, and yeah I've gotten less optimistic on how he's doing.
I really like the villains character designs tbh. They all articulate the personality of the character really well. Diego's in particular is really well done, it doesn't try too hard to be unique but it still leaves a lasting impression. The chapter he appeared in was incredibly uncomfortable even before the horrific implications of what he did to the girls.
Favourite design has to be Hakukos though. The fox design in the hair is too cute to not be.
The disappearance of the brother's ghost has made the manga less of a supernatural horror and more of a psychological horror now. I wonder if the ghost leaving is due to Hijiri moving on from him, thus allowing his spirit to be at rest, or if his ghost is just not tied to Hijiri anymore because he's forgotten about him.
The premise was honestly kinda interesting but the author made it better by creating the dumbest horror schlock in existence.
Anyone who's interested in this because of the drama and horror tags, it's not even slightly scary, it's a full blown comedy. Don't take it too seriously, it's meant to be meme fuel
Thoughts? I thought the movie trailer was pretty good, and the artstyle is still incredibly beautiful, which is surprising since the studio has changed apparently. I'd be hyped even if the trailer was bad tbh, I've been waiting a long time for this. 2024 is the year of good shit.
I don't know how to feel about this... The priest is obviously supposed to be a morally corrupt person that Ichiro has no feelings for, but if there is an off chance that they might end up together, it would feel lazy. Just seeing the priest talk about only wanting love after admitting to raping and murdering a child doesn't even strike me as dark, it's more disjointed than anything.
We'll have to see though. Obviously this isn't going to have a good ending, but I hope it won't go for the worst ending possible.
The initial story doesn't seem too bad, but it does feel kind of rushed. Sara doesn't really question the photographer on why he knows about her connection with Kanon, and the photo being brought up doesn't bring up any skepticism from her on who he is. It makes her feel very passive, just nodding along to every plot point. There's still time to solidify and expand on her character, but she does feel very shallow as a protagonist as of the first two chapters. I won't make any judgements on chapter 2, but I do hope my first impressions are wrong.
