Look if we’re comparing this thing to another series it is clearly Narutaru.

Chapter 1:  Chapter 2: D'aww, things seem to be getting betterraaah!...  Chapter 3:  Erg posted:imo the art style works as a reflection of takopi’s view of the world. Takopi is an innocent happy alien trying to process really grim stuff I hope the little Octopus succeeds.  I caught up in time for chapter 4 to drop. Surely this will end well.

Important notice: They dropped a bunch of extra chapters. So it's up to 7 now on mangaplus. If you click on the mainpage it will take you to 7 instead of 4. So use the overview to go to 4 first. Or click this link

I sure expected it to be something else before it happened! I don’t think this was the original sin. There’s too much emphasis on how he’s not allowed to go back. I think he may have done something there as well

Does Shueisha only host the limited number of chapters for non-paying people? I remember reading something about them doing that for everyone but that seems absurd.

Takopi goes home, tells them how he hosed up. "Oh no dude! Let's use the time machine to let you try again, and also erase all that unhappy trauma from your memory!" Repeat

RatHat posted:Depends on the manga. Some are all free, like this one seems to be One of these days I'll get a subscription for stuff like ayakashi triangle, I'd been putting it off since I heard there was some weird licensing with not all the chapters getting uploaded. Apraxin posted:I'd been on the side of 'ah, this just too relentlessly dark and/or edgy for me to enjoy', but chapters 11 and 12 which are the most recently released in japan and the apparent end of the first arc are a real curveball about what the 'true' plot is so i'm interested again. I'm kinda confused about that. If it's two volumes it'll end in like two or three chapters from there? It seems like a weird place. Unless the point is it's just an eternal loop of him helping 2022 Marina, her killing herself, him resetting to 2016 and losing his memories, helping 2016 Shizuka, killing 2016 Marina, then restarting to 2022 or something..? Maybe it is misery porn?  It seems like it's getting decent buzz on Japanese Twitter. Acerbatus fucked around with this message at 05:56 on Mar 4, 2022 |

 So 4 more chapters dropped. Chapter 8 on mangeplus I want to hug Takopi.  The poor fellow is so heartbroken with his tiny gadgets at the end.] Considering the tone of the story, the dad and Chappy twist was pretty obvious. So is this a flashback into the future?

What are the odds of Takopi’s sin maybe even having to do with the genius big brother being a genius. Edit: https://twitter.com/wsj_manga/status/1501938733846646786?s=21 Huh, it’s very short apparently Darth TNT fucked around with this message at 21:18 on Mar 10, 2022 |

So (spoilers up to chapter 11) it seems like he went back in time after something went wrong with Marina, and we're about to find out what that was?

Maybe she regretted bulling Shizuka into killing herself. Lurking Haro fucked around with this message at 00:20 on Mar 11, 2022 |
