@NGG Can you please post page 23 from the raw? I can't find chapter 35 online, I can only find 34 and 36.....

@Ichigo69
Here you go. It looks even dumber, imo.

For anyone not getting the last page, Tanuki (たヌキ) as written in raw means remove 'ta'. So just get rid of all the た and you are left with エラは犯人 (Era is the culprit).

@ieatass69 you are a chad

 

[Ichigo69]

Wow, it's even easier to figure out in Japanese! Good job localising that, btw.

"she just eat dead bodies, cannibalism is not a crime"

What are they, vegetarian fish if they aren't eating other fish or fish eggs how do they survive. Will there ever be a chapter when everyone just tells her oh, we've been eating each other

 

[ellasita]

The culprit is Era
Yeah we all know

I'm pretty sure that coded message is a reference to something. It's not the first time I've seen a "remove the tanuki to get the real message" thing in manga. Possibly has to due with the fact that tanuki are masters of disguise in folklore? So if you remove the tanuki, you get the truth.

 

[Marieam188]

the messege is " the culprit is Era " if you take out all the tanuki, tanu, taku and so on

I didn’t know about the whole remove the tanuki answer to the message. I just stared hard at it for a minute and eventually saw the message. Didn’t know there was a trick to it so now I fell stupid.
