Other than the lack of 4chan support, I hate how it's usually a recompressed jpg/png that the server refuses to send you the original of. The fuckers at Chrome also refuse to add JXL support, which jpgs could convert to without recompressing.

Reminder that Firefox has an about:config setting to make servers give you the goddamn jpg/png if it exists:
>1. Go to about:config
>2. Search for ' image.http.accept '
>3. Edit the preferences of that (Or click the little pencil button) to open an editing field
>4. Put */* there and save it.

Dozo. About 17MB, and should stay up for 3 days:
https://litter.catbox.moe/hwewph.zip

But good lord, Act-age raws are the most disorganized trashpile I've ever seen. Watermarks, html files, big blurry upscales, interspersed JJK chapters, wrong/duplicate chapters in different volumes / folder trees from different sources... Utterly shamefur dispray. Among the versions inside the DLraw torrent (the one with seeds on Nyaa), it looked like the SnS volumes were cleanest, albeit smallish, so I packed up the end of vol 5 and start of vol 6 as chapters 42-45.

>>281583253
That's part of what makes it even more legendary now. Hard to believe its been half a decade since then.
I'm happy that things ended up working out for the artist, and Ichi the Witch has been a good read so far, but it's like comparing apples and oranges.

I don't think we'll ever see a protagonist as perfect as Yonagi ever again.

It was really just beginning to get popular, when the deed happened which makes things all the more unfortunate. It was always impressive for a manga like this to survive as long as it did in WSJ and now the world will never know of Yonagi.

>>281609396
i love this dork

I'm (almost) completely caught up after basically skipping a week (I'm addicted to video games)
Figured I'd add my 2c and get my thoughts a bit organized
First time reader btw
I really liked the last arc and how it turned out
I expected it to be a traditional rivalry between the two of them, but was pleasantly surprised. Yonagi didn't like Chiyoko at first because she couldn't get a read on her. She only learned later that there was nothing to read. Chiyoko didn't like Yonagi because she was an AMATEUR who was causing chaos on set. There was also this sense of pride from her, thinking she needed to put the fucking noob in her place. But what it comes down to is that opposites attract. It's directly stated that their methods are opposite eachother. But to expand on that, what I think that means is that Yonagi acts out of pure, untrained instinct, while Chiyoko acts out of autistically developed intuition. Chiyoko learned how to see herself from the perspective of the cameras/audience, but her issue is that she can ONLY see herself like that. Because of this, there's nothing inside her because she acts entirely from the outside-in. This is how she's able to put on great performances, because she's expert at control. Her act is so flawless it looks real. Meanwhile, Yonagi acts from the inside-out. If she understands a character, she embodies it and the line between acting and reality is blurred because she herself believes she's the character in the moment. After acting together, they understood eachother and both drew something out of the other that made them improve. Yonagi was able to learn how to see herself in third person, while Chiyoko was able to act in first person for the first time. What helped them, too, is that when Yonagi saved her from the current, she wasn't just saving her in-character, she was also saving her from getting injured because she knew she had a million other projects that relied on her. She cracked her mask by being so fucking real

>>281612885
Anyways
That turned out alot more rambly than I intended. I'm quite tired.
Basically they came out of the shoot having developed respect for one another. Yonagi respects her dedication to filmmaking and acting as a whole, while also pitying her for giving herself up for it. And Chiyo respects her raw talent and brutality. What it comes down to is that both of them are so mentally ill in different directions that they come together to become friends. Yonagi might actually be Chiyochan's first real friend

>>281609208
Does that mean Yonagi have pleasured herself before?

>>281612537
>actually does change subtly
Haha, nice.

>>281612885
>>281612939
Based effort poster.

>>281612885
>>281612939
Nicely put. On my first readthrough, I was expecting the "mask-off" moment to be a villainous meltdown type of thing, but it turned out Chiyoko really was just putting the movie first, and working her ass off to make it happen. The two make such great foils, and have probably my favorite yuribait rivalry in fiction. Look forward to more.

>>281616046
>I was expecting the "mask-off" moment to be a villainous meltdown type of thing
Also because she reminded me of another floofy idol bitch.

>>281612885
>>281612939
welcome aboard, the current arc is kino as well. while chiyoko is the opposite of yonagi, araya is basically male yonagi so the contrast between the two arc is pretty great

>>281615586

>>281619033
Thanks bros
The one thing I forgot to mention is what the fuck is that Stars Hag's problem?
>Yonagi is le dangerous! She will le destroy herself by le actimg!!
>btw my star Star is a girl who has completely given up her sense of self in order to please the audience and she basically doesn't exist outside of the cameras lmao
The heck tho
In fairness, I think chiyoko is a bit more complicated than that, but that's her baseline characterization, that she is whatever others want her to be and has never been her own person ever since she started acting. Idk man feels a little self-destructive to me?

>>281619794
>She will le destroy herself by le actimg!!
you'll see why in this arc

>>281609406
Thanks OP

>>281582151
>nanao
>hot
A-anon, she herself admits that she's very homely, so canonically, she's merely a 5/10 plain Jane. Her disgusting freckles, nerd glasses, and creepy slit eyes make this very obvious, anon...

>>281620506
Behold the power of 2D.

>>281620506
she's merely pretending

>>281620506
>very homely
>freckles
>nerd glasses
>creepy slit eyes
Thats a 10/10 though?

>>281619794
Someone in the other thread was also saying that we don't give Arisa nearly enough shit for raising Chiyoko like this. I was going to make a Banquet of Kings analogy, but shoehorning Yonagi into Iskandar was too big a mental lift, even with their shared love for dumb t-shirts.

>>281619794
I think she is set up to see the errors of her way

I've always liked Akira's character, and I love how relevant he is this arc. Got a feeling he was supposed to be on Kuroyama's dream movie casting wishlist.

>>281636788
Thanks OP

>>281636996
i believe so, maybe not initially but he'll got his way one way or another.
he's always there for yonagi and give us "normal" point of view, he also have off-screen training arc that goes nowhere and he's also kinda mirroring yonagi by having all the resources but no talent.
if tatsuya wanted to develop romantic relationship, he probably the last factor that "save" yonagi when things goes too far

>>281637962
Yeah, I definitely thought that Akira might have been intended as a possible romantic partner for Yonagi, but Chiyoko's popularity made Matsuki put brakes on this development. At least Akira got swole in America.

>>281636484
>they made Chiyoko janny it up again
Partly her fault this time, to be fair.

Huh?

I kinda wonder what it's even for, given they're not doing a musical or voice-changing.

It's like a warm up, or stretching. It acclimates you to whatever you're gonna do with your voice, like screaming

Sankyuu OP. Reading it again, it's funny how this manga handles romance bait, but imo it's the weakest part by far. It's all over the place and it never felt to me like Matsuki knew what to do with it, the clearest he's got is Chiyoko and I suspect it's because he had Glass Mask for reference.

But seriously, I doubt it, since he was able to write emotional stuff so well.

>>281681573
That's why I'm asking, I'm considering reading this as an insight on how a sociopath could see and portray humans and character traits. Apparently this is very well written after all

>>281666279
Thanks OP

How did you figure he has that particular disorder?
