This is a really difficult story - it's a complicated mix of mystery, psychodrama and psychological thriller. It's also an interesting study in trauma responses - all these kids are deeply traumatised by their past lives (after all, in order to get to this point they've all had to literally...

@nobunoru @GurrenPrime5 This adaptation is doing an amazing job of presenting the novels - it's easily the best novel adaptation I've seen (though there are a few others I'm reading which are doing almost as good a job - it's nice to see). It really seems like the anime totally dropped the ball...

Huh - I didn't read this as Chise choosing Joseph, I read it as her rejecting Elias (at least, as he is now). What happens with her and Joseph will be determined in the next chapters, all we know at the moment is that she's rejected Elias. We also need to remember that Joseph is possessing...

. . . am I the only one not sure where the comedy is? I mean, really good series and all, but /comedy/? Unless your idea of comedy is watching someone eat a ridiculous amount of food /because that's the only way they can survive the energy-sucking vampire/monster/parasites? That's the only thing...

@NGOtaku maybe Boku no Kokoro no Yabai Yatsu, where they look like high schoolers but are actually in middle school, so the inverse of this? I occasionally get that and this confused in my head too . . .

@NGOtaku they're not 14 - they're in high school. Probably 15-16 - without re-reading I think they're first years in high school, maybe second year by now.

"meow~" I'm liking the way this is done so far, and the whole story is easily good enough to be worth reading in whatever incarnation it shows up in (at least, unless someone messes it up completely - neither of the manga adaptations have done that, though they've taken different approaches).

So, visceral response over with, that was /seriously/ well done - even knowing what was happening from reading the novels didn't affect the impact it had. I'd normally not bother buying the official translation of the manga (I do with the official novel translations, but none of the official...

AAAAHHHH!! That portal-swirly-thingy graphic was seriously disorienting - perfect. Also, the credits page just gets better . . . But monthly releases will be a real struggle to handle - I need my fix!

I love how visual Kyouko is - all those mental images/fantasies inspired by Miku's teasing. I suspect Miku knows exactly what she's doing with that, too . . .

Not that I'm complaining, but it's amusing to run into two things also mentioned in Uraseki Picnic, neither of which I'd heard of before now.

Damn, I want to give this at least an 11. Why don't the ratings go higher?

"Worst girl. No one gives a shit about her." Ded. I died so much there.

Ded. Is me. Ded.

@herpestofderps that's exactly where I went . . .
