Unfortunately, the English translations are significantly behind current raws.

>What is happening right now

It is revealed that Amarariruku are fragments of Shine's (Teru's older sister) history. Specifically, the revived members are people Shine has helped or met before. Shy goes to Amarariruku to piece Shine together and resolve what exactly happened.

Stigma is an extension of Shine - the cultivation of her negative thoughts, isolation, and the period before she gained her heart via Shy.


This is where it becomes a bit hazy for me, since I don't read runes.

I read somewhere that for Amarariruku to be destroyed, Shy also needs to disappear. So Iko goes into a hero-saving journey, which is where we're currently at. Specifically, Iko walks into a room full of Shy fragments that represent her feelings. Shy is wishing everyone a farewell, but Iko smooches her to stop her nonsense.

On an unrelated note, I've been really enjoying Shy's opening for season one. Shiny Girl is a good song.

Oops, my bad for the Reddit spacing. Anyways, my favorite arcs so far besides Iko and Shy would probably be related to Aika's and Shine. I think the parallelism is well-written. Miki Bukimi tends to be a bit melodramatic with his backstories, but I think this goes for the superhero genre. 500iq to tease Aika's crush on Shy to just be an extension of her feelings for Shine.

Also, not going to lie, Lady Black's disability representation was really touching. I think about it often and I'm glad that Miki wrote it that way. Even if it was weird that Lady Black was literally walking with her stumps for one of the scenes

I always figured the ninja twins were up to gay shit with each other in the village.

Had no idea this was still going. 260 chapters? Pheew.

Took them that long for a lesbian kiss? How many more chapters until lesbian sex?

Is it gay to gaze at each other while figuratively naked in a chapter named after the both of you?

He was not even trying to hide it. They're using heart bracelets to "connect" while naked. God, I love the figure's posing so much. The gesture is simple but floating, as if they were gently reaching out with feather touches. It almost reminds me of the Creation of Adam painting.

Huh it does feel a bit similar. And if you took the second panel out of context you'd be forgiven for thinking they're about to kiss.
Normally I wouldn't get my hopes up about an actual kiss but seeing as Iko already planted one on a clone I can't help but still hope a bit.
