I do hope the author doesn't overdo it with Shamiko's obliviousness. Most specifically, I hope Shamiko doesn't start attributing Momo's future displays of concern for her to Sakura's core.
Thankfully some cliches have been avoided so perhaps it won't go that way.
Momolester, that's a good one 🤣
The outfit did look good on Momo, though definitely not her style.
I still recall Momo said she looked like a "floating fruit punch" when her mood went "sour", showing perhaps what she really thinks of Mikan's fashion.
Anyway, Mikan calling it a date is...
@Reiba1925
I see, I misinterpreted the dialogue... now that I think about it Momo said that returning to "light" was for the best rather than the only option.
@quint
I would only expect to see something like that in a manga like Gintama... Guys in black kimono wielding a "soul cutting fish"...
Shamiko and her eye juices. She is such a gentle girl.
I'm slightly disappointed Momo's transformation didn't take, but I guess we can take it as a preview. Her becoming Shamiko's wifevassal is inevitable... Even Joshua is already calling Momo a fellow demon.
But to think the magic is so...
Quite an argument here...
It does remind me that Momo was supposed to be protecting the town. I wonder if her magic as a light clan member is necessary (for example keeping barriers functioning or something) or if acting as sentinel is enough. If it's the former things could get messy. Mikan...
@MidnighTea
Lilith is highly self-centered, but she is not evil. She herself didn't know what taking blood meant for the magical girls, and properly sympathized when told.
... Mainly, I think Lilith would definitely not do something that made Shamiko sad, whether it affected their relationship...
As the page title suggests, it's Momo's new ultimate technique (and true ultimate technique if she uses it):
"Fresh Peach Blood Shower!!!"
Honestly, such a crazy/volatile trait Shamiko inadvertently woke up in Momo, she better take responsibility.
EDIT: BTW, I just noticed (and it's been...
Oh darkness peach (yamimomo?), I had seen the outfit from next volume's illustration, but it sure suits her.
I thought Shamiko would have to go on a cliche chain quest to restore Sakura but it was simpler (hard to achieve but simple)
And Shamiko was carrying Ryo's curse all along... It makes...
Forgot about it but on p5 Lilith said "the more tears a demon sheds, the stronger she gets". Shouldn't Shamiko be uber-strong by now if that was true? 😅
And there's Sakura, the neighborhood meringue. A quick development but diving into her own memories should indeed result in finding Sakura's core if it was within her all along.
Being text we don't hear a voice but I guess the one who guided Shamiko to the whatever staff was Sakura.
I can't...
@BugDemon
Fine, I'll take your word for it. However what I said was not an assumption but the mention of a possibility. There is a huge difference. (Unless by assumption you meant considering it a possibility)
@BugDemon
Well, there are other offhanded "foreshadows" (or whatever word you wish to use if this one bothers you) like the tapir getting into an accident doing backflips like tamasakura.
Then again, if you've read ahead and already know then it's no fun at all. But I rather you don't make...
Such love and dedication that Momo displays modeling Shamiko... It kinda reminded me of another obsessed doll maker from non non biyori.
That reminds me, she had 11 dolls when she raided the Asura shop, having decided to do so that same day. She definitely had mass produced those beforehand.
So much plot progress, I expected it would take longer for Shirosawa to spill the beans... Sakura's core should definitely be within Shamiko, the story flow strongly points there. After realizing that I imagine next would come trying to find the dispersed parts... Can Shamiko find a way to talk...
Mikan's comment about eating in a closet intrigues me. Is she calling the tiny apartment a closet or is it an actual one? I'm guessing an extra will address that?
Momo's naming for the operation is kind of a freudian slip. Shamiko working leaves her little time to spend with her after all...
@MemoryIris Interesting. I looked it up, so this one wards off diseases (but clearly not accidents 😅.)
The myths also paint it as highly knowledgeable, if this guy is like that then working there should be of great benefit to Shamiko (so long she doesn't keep forgetting to ask)... though...
Finally the (Chinese as it turns out) fox-girl.
And a cool tapir... short and getting hurt doing a backflip, was he working as tama-sakura chan? (in addition to the coffee house?)
It should be interesting to note that the tapir (more precisely the baku) is a mythological being that eats...
@Fusang Nice...
I don't write this often in favor of talk about the content, but seriously thanks for the hard work on this charming manga. I like this enough to buy the official translation when it comes out... or maybe even the original volumes if it take too long for that, though my japanese...
Small correction, probably...
I think on page 15, last panel, first bubble is spoken by Shamiko (if the bubble's shape is not confusing me.) If so it should read instead as "I'll lend you my body again sometime"
