I don't even pay attention to the plot (if there even is one), I literally just drop by and check whatever is the newest chapter whenever my mood is at rock bottom and it instantly lifts my misery. Can't be depressed if you're too confused to the point of laughter.
Not even google translate can save me. I tried reading the og raws and i cant make jack shi outta the plot timeline. Begging the translators to pick this up, ill literally pay yall (if its within my monetary budget) for it
It makes sense how the beastmen weren't able to distinguish the mc as a human male. In beastmen culture, it's the norm for both genders to be buff or masculine in a way, therefore it's no wonder they applied the same logic onto the mc. Although you could definitely argue that the previous human brides were less masc presenting, thus they would apply different logic onto their race, I'd still like to chalk it up to the fact that beastmen are open minded to the point that they don't mind whether a woman has bulk muscles or not. (Not to mention they only base the match up criteria of the brides with their surface level features rather than strictly abiding to the portrait given to them)
We gotta give props to Minakata. Without him, I'm pretty sure Ichi would've killed a lot of people by now. Sure, killing intent can be straight forward, but sometimes it comes at the cost of misunderstanding (brainwash, manipulation, accidentally mistaking someone for the wrong target, etc.).
What Minakata taught Ichi (hold back his instinct for bloodlust) proved quite helpful in some scenarios, namely the time where Gokuraku was being controlled by that misery majik. Though it's clear Ichi can't properly handle it yet and can only fully stop unless it's Minakata himself who calls out to him.
It's been told to us at the start of the story, so there'll definitely be a time where Ichi has to conquer this instinct of his or it ends up becoming his downfall (someone close to him may die because of it).
First time reading this and I finally caught up. All I have to say is: the group's dynamic is so f#cked.
Sayeon has a god complex & sees any bit of defiance towards her as a threat or "aha, very predictable!" (not to mention her insistence on denying her insanity by justification of whatever means), Ryujin (a.k.a, 'I put up a tough front but deep down I do give a damn') wants no part in this bullsh*t but drags along just so she can get the chance to kill the people in the corps, Min lacks any aspirations in life other than the orders given to him and is mad jealous of Sayeon cause she gets to have the unconditional sibling love he never had in his life but has nowhere to vent his hatred for Sayeon because it's what Samin ordered him to, and Iseul is one snap away from losing his sanity as the only normal person in this group who grew up in a non-dysfunctional environment (honestly, it's a surprise he hasn't quit yet, but what other choice does he have unless he wants to be tracked down by the corps).
Sleepacross, you've earned my respect as a fellow writer because you cannot fathom how difficult it is to make each character in the group fully-fleshed out whilst simultaneously conjuring a complicated dynamic rather than taking the easy way out by making them all get along.
Someone remove that incorrect chapter 123 right now, shi had me thinking i went to the wrong series when i first opened that thing
I let this manwha marinate for years cause i was too lazy to read the novel so I wanted to check the comments to see if the current arc is the best time to start reading again, but instead I see some mf named "Kivomo" with a pfp from a story that's widely known for it's toxicity. Apparently they even spam the same argument and rants in this comsec which is wild
Although I do agree with the take that TOXIC shippers do ruin the fandom, it's awful to discredit the shipping community as a whole as they're actually known for their ability to revive fandoms or series based on the sole fact of whether the shipping community has any characters they can obsess over thus giving the series a major boost in popularity.
Hell, a good example of that is with Kagurabacchi where the og fans were practically spreading the word to bl shippers to give that manga a read. And lo and behold, it actually gave that manga a chance and boosted it's popularity after the shippers deemed it worthy of interest.
Overall, it depends on which type of shipping community the series attracts, and I don't mean to support the toxic shippers when I say this but they're quite literally commonplace in any fandom you go to. Your decision is to either ignore them and block any content you dislike from them (doesn't excuse their toxic behaviour, but I do hope these people change their ways).
Hope the whole "shippers ruin everything" discourse ends here, cause trust me I used to be one of such people but I eventually opened my eyes and realised that majority of them are just people who are having fun rather than the 10% that dish out d£ath threats
LMAO the amount of comments I've seen bashing Sun-fei re-surged again, y'all are so predictable Trust they'll end up talking it out, it's how Nii Satoru operates
Idk what Fujimine's full backstory is but it'll never erase the fact she purposefully toys with people, brainwashes them into killing those around them, and ENJOYS the fact they get pissed or miserable from it makes her too deep in the irredeemable pit.
Not to mention, adding in false memories to make it seem like you were an important person at her victim's most sensitive periods? That's an extra level of emotional manipulation and gaslighting, she needs to GO
W granny witch for the last minute clutch too (I can recognise her by her crude manner of speech and the fact she has an umbrella which aligns with her "vintage" aesthetic in the early chapters)
A portion of the fandom's hate for Suo is probably gonna peak after this chapter, but I'd like to put in my two cents & state my speculations here before yall start crucifying him like on chapter 211
We all know he's confirmed to be an established officer at Red Chanpuru. Which is why it's so "odd" that he chose to be a key figure within Bofurin (a vice captain of Tamon team 1st year). He put his 'official address' given to the school under an empty lot, he does NOT eat in public & only drinks no matter the occasion, and he ensures that the info he gives about himself is either false, surface-level, or extremely vague.
It's likely he made a deal with someone over at Red Chanpuru to be able to school at Furin until he graduates but was suddenly called back due to circumstances. Why make friends when you'll only be there for 1 semester? Why take up such a noticeable position? Why bother personally training one of the students there & risk the chance of forming a bond with them? The outcome I theorized practically answers those questions.
Not to mention, it's clear Suo, or rather Sun-fei (his true name), knew that no one at Furin would care enough to dig deep into his personal business unless necessary. After all, he would've been caught earlier if his friends had felt like stopping by his fake address to pick him up or hang out.
I do feel bad for Sakura & understand why he's hurt, but just know that Sun-fei most definitely feels the same amount of pain (if not, more) as he does. Knowing the author, they'll definitely make up after this arc, so don't sweat it (just deal with the angst for now )
Please please please, I plan to let this series marinate until next year, so I hope the updates are consistent. Of course, I understand authors need to take breaks, so I won't be so unrealistic as to ask for weekly updates, but I just really hope that its enough chapters to the point I can binge read them without any major cliffhangers by the time I come back.
Sending all the goodluck, wealth, and stability to Nii Saturo (author) so that he can continue creating the upcoming chapters without any troubles whatsoever.
For my fellow readers who plan to continue reading upon each update, I wish you luck as well. Cliffhangers back to back is not for the weak, I am most certainly one of those weak people which is why I plan to let this arc pile up chapters before reading. See y'all next year!
Whoever uploaded that as chapter "57"... I'm sending Solo Pastry to slime ur ahh for giving me false hope
Jokes aside, what the hell are the furin kids gonna do??? Not only is the Red Chanpuru territorial like Bofurin, they've been at it for decades which amps their hostility to outsiders to the max.
Whether Suo-fei came to Bofurin as a spy or out of his own personal interest, now it's gotten him caught up in a tight spot. Technically, he's made an official resignation to cut off all ties from Bofurin, going so far as to revoke his student registry there too. But we all know Sakura & his friends are stubborn and will insist they at least get a clear explanation on why Suo-fei stuck with them for so long.
He could've left when things were at their worst during the war arc, yet he stayed and fought with them.
With the current situation, it seems they'll make a trip to Red Chanpuru's island (it'll likely be a select few too so as to avoid sparking conflict since they know how territorial that faction is). Most likely, they'll ask to meet Suo-fei and demand an explanation but it'll be seen as the furin kids being hostile, thus escalating into a full blown "fight us if you want to meet (insert person)" scenario.
Bit of a spoiler, so if you haven't read the recent chap, don't read this!
Anyways, I think it's half confirmed that Amadoro and her family faction are under mind control. You can see the subtle detail within their eyes. Each of the ladies from the Ribboncandy family have a little white dot in the center of their pupil, Amadoro herself included. It's the exact same white dot that the evil witch has (forgot her name, forgive my memory, its been weeks since she's been introduced). Going by that logic, it's highly likely we can tie that detail to the possibility that the evil witch indeed has a mind-manipulation majik up her sleeve.
Take this theory with a grain of salt, it's just based on my observation & speculation so far. But if it does end up being fully confirmed, that makes this evil witch all the more deadly since this means her kill count may be higher than just thousands considering she could've orchestrated indirect murders through controlling others and no one would even be able to link it to her unless they were aware of her powers.
Everytime i come back to this series, its always some new plot arc going on. I'm practically making a bet that the author plans to do every single troupe in existence before ever retiring this series, cause they were not exaggerating when they said the plot is nonexistent in this story LMAOOO (not complaining tho, just find it hella funny its still ongoing despite the plot constantly changing each arc)
Considering that even Endo is encouraging them to give up, this group must be hella crazy. Do you guys think this'll be another battle arc? Like the one where Furin was on the defensive against Endo & Chika, but this time Furin has to go on the offence for the sake of one member.
Suo, you better be glad your classmates saw you as a good friend cause they boutta go to war for your ahh (literally).
They searched for three weeks.
Endo did it in one day.
They asked everyone in town for help.
Endo did it in one day.
Just how wide is this man's connections--scratch that--how much money does this crazy guy have to have hired and expended capable man power to find someone who likely faked almost everything about their personal information. Hell, we aren't even sure if Suo is his real name until it's confirmed otherwise.
I really hope the 'traitor' (won't spoil the name for now since ik some of you have a tendency to read comments before catching up with the latest chapters) turns out to be mind controlled.
It's also a tad bit unfair if they're fully confirmed as a 'traitor' considering the fact we've barely delved into the other major witches' backstories yet, so this'll either be an expected "plot twist" (since it feels so out of nowhere to the point its obvious they're just being manipulated) or one of the top ten worst writing moves in history (the reveal of them being a 'traitor' will fall flat due to the lack of lore & emotional investment on a character who's own name hasn't been reveal till today).
I wanna see what the paragraph Endo sent Sakura was. I hope there's a translation to it. Or if ever the author decides to reveal what he said during some mini interview. I wanna know what that crazy guy of all people has to yap about to Sakura who couldn't give two f**ks about the bs he has to spout.
