I’m gonna keep reading for now, but so far this just strikes me as relentless misery porn with not much to say beyond “is this hosed up or what???”


I don't have the greatest grasp on Japanese, but from what I understood Marina's mother finds out her daughter was killed and doesn't take it well. Which is to say it doesn't get any cheerier but it's leading to something, though if that works or not time will tell.

I'll say. I haven't read much stuff about bullying that doesn't end with them becoming their friends in a shounen manga sense so this is really cruel for like, 9 year olds.

Very engrossing though, I'm absolutely hooked on how this story resolves.

I was definitely wondering if it'd play out that way.

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

I sure loving hope not.

That time machine is definitely the Chekov’s gun of the story

There's no way it'll fix everything though, that's for sure.

seems like the prologue is over!

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.

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.

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.

uh i guess i try to avoid posting drama, but my 2 cents is that while endorph comes on a bit strong sometimes, she's never malicious and has some of the more thoughtful/incisive posts about media that i've seen on SA, so I hope this is a temporary posting exile

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? :thunk:


It seems like it's getting decent buzz on Japanese Twitter.

This seemed like it was going somewhere but now I'm pretty sure it's not.
