Where are the tl scans going to these days? Haven't caught up since the director realized she was a copy.

>>283238838
FUCK

just realized i'm like 5 chapters behind because mangadex got apeshit on scans, fuck

>>283239220
So she is the dino. Nice call by anon in the last thread.

>>283239419
lol what the hell is this power

>>283239724
Badass

>>283239724
My wife is so fucking cool. Thanks for the dump anon.

MICHIIIIIIIIIIIII

I think the story of the lab kids in post apoc is more interesting than the main duo.

>>283238877
Is that from the sonic blast?

>>283239220
cool

>>283239724
God help us if Michika ever turns into a man-eater

>>283239724
if michika uses her blood for her blades
then she can't fuck me in that form.. no boner blood...

It was roughly 4 months >>283238711

>>283239220
Nice bike.

>>283239170
4 months to die from the disease, 8 days to transform after death. I wonder why there's such a big time difference between the kids.

>>283239724
Hell yeah motherfucker! Thanks OP.

>>283239565
I love this page. Ishiguro has great choreography and paneling.

>>283239724
Since we know the hiruko can't die by conventional methods, I see two likely possibilities after this. Either the dino regenerates and runs away then Kiruko and Maru might have to deal with it, or Yamato will have the same power as Maru and he'll be able to kill it.
Thanks OP

>>283242553
Maybe someone should setup a wordpress or something too.

I really like the Nonoko Hiruko design. Using its tail to whip things is really cool and the anti gravity bubbles effect it quite nice. Being able to use its powers for mobility would make this one a nightmare to run from. Michika is better suited to fighting this one than Maru could be because of her blades too.

>>283243969
Its easily one of the most dangerous hiruko, probably only behind anjulas. Squid serms yo easy to kite

>>283239942
Nonoko

When's the english release?

>>283238500 (OP)
This is still going? I think I read up to wherever it was at a few months ago and didn't bother keeping up. Can I get a refresher?

>>283245724
They solved a murder mystery and the suspect turned out to be Robin. He gigaraped Kiruko again, hence her condition this chapter, and managed to get away. As for the flashbacks, we're currently deep into the Momoika (crotch grabber) backstory saga.

>>283246346
I was up to the murder case but I can't remember anything after Kiruko(?) stood up for the person being scapegoated and definitely nothing about Robin reappearing so I guess I'll start from there. Thanks.

>>283238500 (OP)
So what? they can choose to be a boy or girl?

>>283238646
Tokio looking more like Kon every chapter. Soon she'll complete the transformation.

How far it's this manga from the ending? I really liked the anime and I want to start reading it but I'm tired of follow manga with too many breaks.

>>283246682
I think it is just one of those things kids go through + the weird androgynous education they had + the fact that there are literal intersex people around. We don't really know if Nonoko is intersex too, but I don't personally think so. She also blushed more around Hani and Laima.

>>283246765
What constitutes too many breaks for you? We have no idea how close it is, despite all the people saying we are close.

>>283239337
Explain this theory to me cause I'm dumb.

>>283246765
>>283246805
I think people consider the ending to be close since a lot of the big mysteries are already solved.

>>283246805
>What constitutes too many breaks for you?
Well. I follow Berserk, HxH, Vagabond (more like used to follow), Dai Dark and Choujin X. The only one with a more like consistent schedule is CX.

>>283238559
>shout bubble stops on the glass
I love when Ishiguro does things like this

>>283247322
they really aren't, and unless Ishiguro reveals a bunch of them at once, there's still plenty more to go. My bet is at least 100, so that's still like 3 or 4 more volume after 13 (the current one being release).

>>283247345
then tengoku is extremely consistent by that measure

>>283247418
isn't it because half is sawatari's and the other half Nata's? your interpretation is fun too.

Early chapter this month. Hope TL anon finds it soon

>>283247559
early, and unexpected. Ishiguro usually takes a break every three chapters, although editor-kun didn't say there would be a break so there's that at least... let's keep it up until anon sees it!

>>283239724
HOLY SHIT IS THAT A KAIJI REFERENCE?

>>283239045
Is it a bad idea to sleep next to an ill person? I always see people sitting next to them instead of cuddling.

>>283239081
Mimihime and Shiro died in the same day, October 15th. Tarao also died on October 16th, 2 eyars earlier (on chapter 15... lol)

Could there be anything to it? Is there any significance to the number 15 in Japan, Shinto or Buddhism?

>>283246411
anon stop believing everything you see on the internet

>>283248193
I caught up and realized...
My brain got completely wiped despite being only 3 chapters combined including 77, had to read every detail of the macros above.

>>283247735
The idea is you're trying not to catch whatever's fucking them up. Super close contact is generally a bad idea for that

seems to be a disturbing trend of hiruko having cases of unrequited love and then dying a few months after (tarao, sachio, nonoko, maybe others I forgot)

>>283243280
So 4 months of intense masturbation

>>283249069
Interesting. So I guess they can physically decide their gender?

Chapter 77: Nonoko

>>283238500 (OP)
>>283249052

And that's it. We hardly knew Nonoko but I liked her already. What a shame.
Nata's connection to Meena sounds useful but also worrying.
I wonder if Nonoko went after Yamato intentionally.
See you, bye bye.
Go read Soremachi

>>283250573

>>283249219

>>283250833
Still missing the quotation marks on Kuku-town...
>>283249219
>>283250822
Thanks. Despite her time being short she really stood out. I've been totally intrigued by her ever since I noticed her hair changed color. It's sad to confirm she was indeed the dino but on the bright side she gets to be the coolest Hiruko so far.

>>283251244
God damn it

>>283250625
Since this is after Nonoko left then she's definitely talking to Asura, right?

>>283250641
>just some light kidney damage
jesus christ how horrifying
>>283250678
hold her hand you big fucking baby

>>283249802
i think we had this discussion a year or two ago but yeah it's probably following how certain animals can change their own sex depending on mostly environmental stimuli but sometimes due to breeding factors (ie female clownfish in a pair dies, the male turns female and selects a new mate)

Remember when Michika was implied to have time stop powers, but then got retconned into blade powers because there would have been no way for Maru to go toe-to-toe with fighting her?

>>283251573
Wtf bros...you told me Ishiguro was a master writer who planned out every single detail in advance..

>>283251573
It wasn't a retcon. Maru is just a dumbass who'd never been in a fight before.

>>283251573
It wasn't a retcon. Kiruko came up with a lie to protect Maru's ego and secretly asked Michika to not use it again in the 2nd fight to give him a chance.

>>283251573
This anon doesn't understand the concept of a joke

Posted by Ishiguro.

>>283249052
thank you!

>>283250641
Erm, what's going on here? I was assured she was a fatty

>>283250584
Using crossed swords on your logo just comes across as threatening.

>>283250584
It's sad to see tsuyu and others here knowing they just died young and became monsters

>>283250625
>>283250641
The obvious connection here is the injuries on their bodies but this could also be drawing parallels about Kiruko's gender. Nonoko spends the chapter thinking about gender and Kiruko is here talking about "peeing blood". Kona saying Nonoko could choose her gender based on the person she loves also foreshadows Kiruko accepting womanhood to be with Maru, especially after the hand holding page. I think this means Maru is going to put a baby in her by the end.

That's a Katsuhiro Otomo panel if I've ever seen one

This makes me wonder what Yamato's power is, if not the same one that Maru has.

>>283253535
Those are the Imperial Regalia of Japan.

>>283254576

>>283251573
Michika killed Taka with her blades in the same chapter Maru thought she could time travel though... Well, in her fight with Taka she did move in ways to make the time travel idea more believable too, but I guess she caught both Taka and Maru off-guard by how fast she can be.

Hello anons. I finished reading the manga. Just wanted to say that Mimihime is best girl.

>>283255433
Pre or post-op?

>>283250793
watch our little chadette go!

>>283255666
are you saying she's sexier without her arms and legs?

>>283249802
>>283251508
They are talking about the way they present themselves, since they are hermaphrodites. Remember they had to take identities after escaping the Academy.
>We were the ones that gets decided from the get-go
Being physically male or female, which they'll then be taught makes them either a boy or a girl
>Hermaphrodites
They'd have to genuinely pick between presenting as a boy or a girl because they could go for either. Nonoko is even androgynous as hell.

>>283255934
Hard to present as a guy when you have massive tits.

>>283255433
Based

>>283255820
All I'm saying is quadruple amputee girls give insane head for some reason. Don't ask how I know.

>>283251400
>>283253534
we computed her cycle and its actually about time for her period. Ishiguro also posted pic of his calendar with kiruko period tracking.
She's being baka again

>>283250762
you wrote raima instead of laima

>>283257571
So the internal bleeding isn't real

>>283254135
Or else they send Momoika to collect.

So much for the "Nonoka is Kiriko" theory.

>>283258036
That one never made sense to me.

I'll restate my theory that Tarao's core is Meena's shield.

>>283258941
Nah, hes the meteor

>>283259101
How would they get it to space?

>>283258036
That was a theory?

>>283258265
do they have the same hair screentone? That might be why people thought so

>>283256230
Nonoko doesn't have massive tits.

>>283260253
Yeah. Younger Nonoko looked like Kiruko so people thought Kiriko was hiding her identity as a Takahara student.

Is there any reason why Michika is still alive in the present? She's the only one, yeah? Oh, the crotch girl too I guess.

>>283261609
And Hani and Laima.

>>283261706
Oh yeah.

KIriko, haRUki, nonoKO. It's so obvious.

>>283250717
Have we encountered this hiruko earlier in the manga? I don't remember already.

>>283250546
I'm sad those two never breed.
>>283250658
This is cute, it's like a video game tutorial.

when is best girl?

>>283261957
Kinda. It's was on a flashback where the director explains Maru how to kill hiruko.

>>283262079
>the director explains Maru how to kill hiruko
What?

>>283262400
Dino hiruko near the bottom right of this list.
>>283242553

>>283250533
>Jule 3, 2026
That's my birthday!

>>283261609
Shiro was still fine before he killed himself too.

No break next month, right? Ishiguro is on a roll.

>>283261929
Clearly Kiriko and Haruki regenerated out of the Nonoka-lizard's chopped-up corpse and combining them results in them turning back into the original Nonoka, explaining the change in hair color (no, it's not normal chimaerism after a major transplant, stfu)

>>283259610
Why would they need a launch port in the island if not to put stuff in space?

>>283250641
Wtf why isn't she fat
Manga ruined, dropped

I haven't read the last 10 or so chapters. How is the Manga doing? Hope its still good

>>283261929
Cute

>>283253534
>>283265066
All that glucose, wasted...

>>283262649
>>283262908
Thinking about it, I meant another one.
There's a page in which Maru explains to Kiriko that the director taught him how to kill hiruko by smashing their core and one of the panels show him near the corpse of one, which I'm pretty sure it was the dino. Also, it was on the chart at some point.

>>283266193
Nope, that's not any Hiruko we've seen before.
Not sure if I ever had it on the character image either, maybe I did.

>>283265722
I didn't like the last arc too much

>>283265722
All the mysteries are kinda solved so now we're just cruising in the sea of misery.

>>283266236
The one he's talking about kind of looks like the scorpion from chapter 67. It would make sense for Mikura to take Maru back to kill a hiruko she's fought before.

>>283266351
Not really, we still don't know anything about Asura nor Meena's plan, what triggers the disease and what is Yamato's role and why he needs or what is the deal with the medicine.

>>283266637
>Meena's plan
Human evolution and total hiruko domination.
>what triggers the disease
I don't think anything triggers it, it just happens eventually like a cancer.

>>283266637
Also still haven't seen what happened to Taro's core, or the director/mikura's (presumably her dead body still hiruko'ed and then ate everyone around Kiruko's office).

>>283250546
They want each other so bad

>>283266787
I'm talking about whatever she's protecting on the island.
>>283266827
>Taro's core
It seems that some of the hiruko hatches few days after the host dies, which makes me wonder if Meena stole his core and is what she's hiding on the island. Also, it seems that later generations become hiruko faster than the first ones.

>>283266827
Mikura became a hiruko. We see in this chapter that Nonoko took 8 days to transform after her death so Mikura transformed after Maru and Kiruko left. In chapter 72 we see a hiruko on a building that is near where Kiruko met Maru, so this is likely her.

>>283250625
Can't leave that junk alone

>>283250658
Nata is sassy

>>283250701
Momoika is just happy to be here

>>283250584
Cute family.

>>283260703
Is also 11 years old

Thanks for delivering as always

>>283267208
I do think that I am right and that this refers to the fact that they don't really know about gender, sexes and so on, so once made to take on an identity outside the Academy they would automatically present as the sex they are born into but when they're futas they choose because its more complicated for them.

>>283250701
;)

>>283266637
These are all just minor unanswered questions. All the big mysteries have been revealed. We can infer the rest from them.

>>283250793
Teamwork!

>>283267342
The biggest remaining mystery is probably Robin's "research", why he did what he did with Kiruko, the sister, etc.

Do you think the academy used Tarao's core to make the alien soldiers that sabotaged the plan to stop the meteorite? It would explain why his never became a monster.

>>283267472
Eh, not really. He's just a psycho loser.

Asura is the only actual mystery that can still lead to something big.

>>283267342
what's nowlong and Misaki's role in the story?
we literally know nothing about Tokio & co. Why was Sawatari in Asakusa in the first place? Mountain Hiruko... How can you explain the fact that Kiruko and Maru will cause the calamity (pic related)

>>283267520
the soldier already existed before Tarao's death anon

>>283267619
>These are all just minor unanswered questions

So when does Kiruko grow an 8 inch cock?

>>283267687
yeh Tokio & co are minor... aight

>>283267712
The only cock she'll get from now on is Maru's.

>>283267619
>Kiruko's fat dumper was the meteor
This is one of the most plausible theories I've seen so far

>>283267716
yes

>>283267865
If Tokio is a minor, why does she habe a child?

>>283238914
>>283238877
This artist has a great and very unique and recognizable art style but he's just wasting it on a very perverse and ultimately shallow series that's just an exercise in transsexual fetishism. The art style just doesn't match the content. It feels like the artist would draw a superb shonen with his skill but alas. Shame.

>>283267846
I say it a bit joking but I think it really is a possibility, that cover makes it too obvious!

>>283267865
It's okay to be wrong
let me guess, the photo Kiruko's waiting for is minor as well?

>>283267944
eheh

>>283267972
fuck off shonenslop shitter

>>283267998
>It's okay to be wrong
I accept your concession then. Glad we both agree you're wrong.

>>283268039
damn the kid Maru's been looking for since ever is a minor plot point, anon's right, time to close shop anons. answer my last question and don't deflect

>>283267619
I don't think they'll cause the calamity.
But i DO think that they will go back in time and become Kiriko's and Haruki's deadbeat parents.

283267972
Hang yourself from a light fixture you worthless faggot.

>>283262908
I think most of us assumed the eyeball blob on the left was just the dinosaur's tail, but reading Japanese discussion a lot of them think it might be the fungus one from the mall. While it has a bunch eyes on its back the tail doesn't seem to have any >>283250744 so maybe they're onto something. The editors note also mentioned a "new danger" so maybe we'll see it next month too.

>>283238646
Ok but why are some of the names just dinosaurs?
ドラコレックス - Dracorex/Pachycephalosaurus
アロサウルス - Allosaurus
赤道小町 (ドキッ)? - Ok this one just seems like a reference to some song

Nonoko is only confused because she couldn't be a dinosaur... her wish came true!

>>283269418
it could be, but at the same time, I doubt it. Seems more like a placeholder, or even the in-between form from whatever was left after the cremation and the actual hiruko

>>283253534
>>283265066
Kiruko has always been fat the way Hotori is fat. It's just chubby aura.

>>283269821
Kiruko is supposed to be a piggy who oinks. Ishiguro needs to redraw that panel STAT

>>283270650
Her cheeks are fat enough

Nonoko is so cute....

>>283250706
Some fixes

>>283250762

>>283257600
Thanks

>>283249069
Soremachi also had a scene with the よ/ょ that Hotori wrote and others misread.

>>283249069
>Tokio wrote しよう (let's) but Sawatari misread it as しょう

I missed the last chapter; is there any archive updating nowadays after Dex got DCMAed?

>>283274038
There's a google drive with the /a/ translations >>283242553

I love Michika so much bros

Fine Ishiguro, I'll do it myself.

>>283250625
So they can flip flop gender as need be? Or is it a one chance choice thing?

>>283250706
Why do these idiots bury it so close they know what happens.

>>283269821
Kiruko is definitely fatter than Hotori

>>283267061
wait wait, where did the manga specify the location of kiruko and maru/mikura meeting? or that building

>>283275349
>where did the manga specify the location of kiruko and maru/mikura meeting
Chapter 10, when she's explaining her backstory
>or that building
That building is a real building in Nakano.

There will always be Kiruko's fat eyebrows.

>>283274886
OOUUGUGHH BUTA

>>283275317
This group didn't know about it yet. And it actually was pretty far away. Based on the irl locations at least. There's even a cemetery nearby too but they dumped her in some vacant plot a kilometer outside of town instead. Fucked up if you ask me.

>>283250701
>>283250793
34°27'05.9"N 135°43'39.6"E
For reference. Building with the solar panel is where Michika murderizes her.

>>283239220
Nonoka chose DINOSAUR as their gender.

>>283276159
>Gayma
KEK

>>283276279
I wonder what it's like to read a manga and suddenly get to a page with a dinosaur landing on your house.

Not much Tengoku art this month but there have been tons of Soremachi art.

So who the fuck was that white haired dogwoman who turned into the eye meatball?

>>283249802
As the weird breeding program went on, more and more of the kids started being made hermaphrodites- the third generation included some, like Michika and Kuku, but by the fifth generation, all of the kids had both sets of sexual organs.

>>283250701
Is Momoika just like, constantly creating opioids in her own bloodstream or something? Why does she constantly look whacked out of her gourd?

>>283277452
She got into Sawatari's opioid stash

>>283273750
So Hani's power is some kind of wire frame forcefield?

>>283274587
tsuyu is best

>>283277556
Sounds kind of convoluted and overly specific. I'm guessing that's one form his force field can take.

>>283277556
>>283278260
Might be just a general build constructs kind of thing.

>>283277356
just one of the 5th gen kids

>>283277390
I don't think Nonoko is necessarily intersex. She could be, but if she were why would Michika only mention Kuku and Ohma here? Sure, they were closer friends, I guess that makes sense to only mention them...

>>283277556
This is completely schizoposting, but I wonder if it could have some relation to the fungi Hiruko somehow, both are "net-like" at the very least. For example, this chapter both Momoika and Michika can feel Nonoko's presence within the Hiruko >>283250706 >>283250736 (btw in the official translation Michika says something along the lines "Can't you guys feel Nonoko's presence coming from it!?" which makes more sense given her expression, in my opinion), but in chapter 52 Momoika says Anzu's gone. Could Hiruko kids just be vessels for the Hiruko and not Hiruko themselves? Can Hiruko and humans be disassociated without the human dying?

Then there's also this idea of body/mind/soul:
Mikura has both mind and body, but no soul
Nata has both mind and soul, but no body
Asura has neither body nor mind(?), only soul (she will definitely be the focus of the next couple of chapters I'm most certain!)
Hiruko have a soul (the kids we see leaving the cave when they die) and a body, but no mind - although if the kid's soul can leave the Hiruko body without it actually dying then a Hiruko can just be a soulless mindless body. I'm just ass-pulling stuff to see if it rings a bell for someone else honestly.

>>283244890
>easily one of the most dangerous hiruko, probably only behind anjulas
I feel like I've heard this multiple times. That makes things clear. Anjulas is indisputably the most dangerous hiruko. The rest of them are fighting for second place.

Do you think there's any reason why Anzu is so powerful?

>>283280845
We'll see if that stays the same after Michika transforms.

>>283281046
I think the early generations were very experimental so their hiruko strength was higher. We don't see any other 2nd generation's hiruko form but I think they would have been equally dangerous.

>>283282366
If Kona is the isopod hes not that strong. Dangerous sure, not strong

>>283282436
Hiruko tend to have the same power as their human form. The isopod only turned invisible but Kona can see through time. Either it's not him or it's much stronger than we think.

>>283282625
>Konapod saw through time and ate Haruki because he realized that Maru needed Kiruko to complete is journey
Kino

>>283282366
How insane is Asura?

>>283282692
If Asura let herself catch the disease, she probably could have caused the apocalypse without the meteor.

>>283282650
Actually that's a plot point i thought about before, but its so completely insane i never shared it... ill throw a curve ball into it though, yeah he did that for Kiruko to exist, becsuse the two of them will actually set in motion the calamity. Kona is antagonistic

>>283280845
>Anjulas is indisputably the most dangerous hiruko.

DANCING: NOT EVEN ONCE.

>>283277260
There's been a bunch of Nonoko art

>>283275337
Hotori is short, flat and is bottom heavy. I wouldn't say she's chubby but you can tell by the way Ishiguro draws body types that Hotori is meant to be on the meatier side of normal, at least fatter than Kiruko who has proportions closer to Tatsuno.

Did season 1 do good? Season 2 when?

>>283239724
THE FUTA IS BACK

>>283288408
But all of them are futas

>>283283279
But HOW will they cause the calamity?

>>283288448
Only the Gen5s. The earlier generations had some that were part of a gradual phase in.

Asura is an alien from planet Nibiru.

>>283282625
Humm reinterpreting invisibility as him moving/fading through time is pretty cool

>>283287838
The BDs were a luxury item so they sold like shit but the anime did fine with streaming.

>>283289576
The anime was so good, I hope they make more

>>283238838
whats up with the bruises? is it a disease? been a while since i read this

>>283290394
Black Death

>>283290394
Maru's cock was too big.

>>283290394
The Hiruko kids have a wasting disease seemingly coded into their DNA, that eventually turns on and kills them, with dark blotches on their skin.
One of them, Taro, died of it really on, when the kids were still in the school. We've also seen it affect Mikura, Kuku, Mako, and presumably Mimihime/Hoshio was having parts amputated if and when the disease showed up.

>>283276666
>>283288408
The cishets and their fragile concept of gender are truly pathetic. Keep projecting your pathetic chud fantasies onto these characters instead of engaging with their actual nuanced gender identities and intersex representation. Touch grass, bigots.

>>283291201
>The cishets and their fragile concept of gender are truly pathetic. Keep projecting your pathetic chud fantasies onto these characters instead of engaging with their actual nuanced gender identities and intersex representation. Touch grass, bigots.
Cope harder, gaijin. Ishiguro isn't writing for your Tumblr-brained identity politics, he's crafting a nuanced narrative for a Japanese audience. Keep your colonizer fantasies away from our kino.

>>283291201
>The cishets and their fragile concept of gender are truly pathetic. Keep projecting your pathetic chud fantasies onto these characters instead of engaging with their actual nuanced gender identities and intersex representation. Touch grass, bigots.
Lmao, imagine thinking a *nihonjin* mangaka cares about your pronouns or your Tumblr-brained fujospeak. Ishiguro isn't writing your woke fanfic, he's crafting *kino* for a culture you'll never understand, colonizer. Stick to your capeshit.

>>283291252
>Cope harder, gaijin. Ishiguro isn't writing for your Tumblr-brained identity politics, he's crafting a nuanced narrative for a Japanese audience. Keep your colonizer fantasies away from our kino.
Your "nuanced Japanese audience" is just a projection for your own chud fantasies, anon. Imagine thinking your fetishized "kino" is immune to critique, you sad little orientalist.

>>283291201
>>283276666 Here
I was just making a joke about how the resolution of Nonoka's gender presentation uncertainty was turning into a monster.

>>283291345
>Your "nuanced Japanese audience" is just a projection for your own chud fantasies, anon. Imagine thinking your fetishized "kino" is immune to critique, you sad little orientalist.
Lmao, imagine thinking your privileged 'critique' from a colonizer mindset isn't the real projection here. Your Tumblr-brained 'nuance' is just gaijin copium for not understanding real Japanese art. Seethe and dilate.

>>283281903
That seems to not necessarily correlate with how powerful a hiruko is. Anzu, as far as we know, could only dance, but somehow she became that monstrosity.

There's no need to bait anons. The thread isn't even that slow.

Look at her, she's FAT
She should've been drawn FAT
This is a betrayal

>>283285545
Hotori is sitting down in that page. That's not a good reference for her body type/how fat she is.
>Kiruko who has proportions closer to Tatsuno
You mean Fatsuno

>>283292102
Anzu was just hiding her powerlevel so she wouldn't embarrass Taka. She's secretly stronger than Asura.

>>283292908
She's rounder than Kiruko
>Fatsuno
She's actually really thin.

>>283292989
>She's rounder than Kiruko
That's a fridge body. Hotori has a fridge body.
>She's actually really thin
She better watch herself because she's one cookie away from becoming Fatsuno.

>>283293056
>Hotori has a fridge body
How dare you

She isn't fat (besides in the right places). Just look up the rape scene again!

>>283292911
I know you're joking but Taka and Anzu had a very flirty, teasing each other relationship. If Anzu was really that strong, not only would she not be worried embarrassing Taka, she would want to.

When will we see Mimihime again?

>>283293104
>all of them are dead

>>283294871
Possibly never? They never joined the Ministry of Reconstruction and only really met with them around when Ohma joined them at the hospital.

>>283250706
Kind of a huge deal actually. The hiruko 'seed' doesn't need a corpse to transform.

>>283250658
she's so proud of that retard

>>283295095
This tells me Nata is safe at least.

>>283294871
>>283294974
There's no reason why Ohma can't be with Mimihime for a while. We could get a chapter with them two together before Ohma's death.

>>283295095
That means something definitely happened to Tarao's core because they didn't have the means to destroy it. It sounds like he transformed into a hiruko but when?

>>283298286
Unless it was somehow neutralized by Meera because he went off before she intended?

Or maybe it was developed into the Soldiers... somehow.

>>283238877
WAIT
so if she's pregnant and it damaged her bladder....doesn't that mean she'll have a miscarriage too??

>>283299266
RIP Robin Jr.

>>283299266
It's just another period.

>>283267972
Weak bait

>>283280057
>Sure, they were closer friends
That and she was completely irrelevant to the flashbacks. It's also very likely that Ishiguro just hadn't decided on a name for her yet and/or the exact details of her subplot. She undeniably died of the disease but Kuku also snubbed her.

>>283301211
I don't want to jerk off Ishiguro too much but a lot of names so far have been tied in to Shinto mythology so I wouldn't doubt he's named all of the characters. I think the real world reason would be that Ishiguro just didn't want to mention a character that hasn't been introduced yet when they aren't that important to the plot. In universe, it's likely that they just didn't know her all that well since she's from the youngest generation and then died a few months after meeting her.

>>283301860
I wouldn't be surprised either, however the anime didn't have any names for the unknowns (Including Momoika at the time) despite having them for the most irrelevant of Takahara staff so I'm not entirely confident. Maybe he just didn't share it with them or something. Either way I hope we get a name for everyone at some point. Especially Meatball.

>>283302661
I don't think we'll get everyone's names in the manga but I'm sure there will be another guidebook with all the names after the manga is done.

>>283302661
Every voiced character had to have names. Ishiguro said he had come up with names for those Takahara staff because of it.

SANDRO I WANT OFF THIS RIDE

>>283291043
>The Hiruko kids have a wasting disease seemingly coded into their DNA,
Did we ever find out why?

>>283304218
My neitherwife, her neitherfriend, and their nephew

>>283304234
Meena messed with their DNA. She basically sees them as a larval state for Hiruko who she wants to inherit the earth.

>>283304234
The closest thing we have to an explanation so far is Meena saying that them turning into monsters was an intentional evolutionary process. Maybe its just them essentially hitting a point of maturation where they start metamorphosis, like an insect that starts turning into a pupa.

>>283294446
These two are so cute. It makes me want to read about an alternate universe where nothing bad happened to any of them.

>>283304441
I think the human form is just a temporary necessity while the plan is set up.
