Clara definitely has trauma from before she met Iruma and was effectively a pet and a go-fer for others. Maybe her teammate might not have any. Alternatively, their training might help them break the illusion

That's not how the Triangle Attack works...
Ha ha, you thought we were going to have a extended arc to solve the mystery of the the legendary plant riddle? Sike Iruma casually solves it in three pages.

I genuinely hate orobos as a character

someone who purposely weaponizes PTSD to manipulate or mentally break people should die

Over the past ~24 hours, I decided to catch up to this (up to 126 from roughly where the anime got to - the translations got a bit shaky for a while and I kind of dropped off), I regret nothing.

What's with SSSSS on mangadex? They seem to have translated a random scattershot of chapters...

I gotta say, the buildup for this dude being the antagonist of the arc has been real good, I really, really hate him because his power is to make you suffer through or relive the thing that would mentally or emotionally hurt you the most. And he's not been given any indication that he's like, been given a particularly cruel ability and regrets using it or anything, no, he's actively uncaring and flippant about the pain he's causing others and is explicitly malicious towards the abnormal class, he rules lawyers the competition through his powers and honestly just looks like a particularly buff dork, visually. just an absolute bastard, but not bombastic about it, since the moment he was introduced.

I tried reading a chapter and while it was cute, I remember the translation I read being rather literal which sucked the life out of the jokes. Does it get picked up by anyone decent?

Its been passed around by many many groups, especially around the time the anime started and people kept sniping each other. So, its a grab bag.

You could alternatively watch the anime and then jump into the manga after when the translations are likely better

Eh, the translations currently on mangadex translations get bad around where the anime ends, and stay that way for a while.

Clara definitely has personal demons and anxieties that Iruma helped push away, but she's definitely gonna see him push her away and we'll see some sort of pseudo Clara/Iruma fight when he does find her.
