Chapter 65: Mikura Manaka (1)Pages may be out of order for some reason
>>269147735????? wtf is the same as the bird hiruko
>>269147735Oh shit
>>269147735What the fuck
neets takahara helped...
>>269147980She's cute
>>269148240rabid mako...
>>269148489looks like the stalker guy from perfect blue
chapter is not wholesome anymore
>>269148565Is he about to Robin her?
>>269148622I was curious why he reacted like that, and apparently he asked if she would marry him here >>269148403So I guess this >>269148549 isn't a coincidence
Connection error while posting. [More info]WTF
>>269148756Post a different image somewhere. It fixed that issue for me.
>>2691487564chins please...
>>269148756why is this happening, i post a lot in other generals and that happened to me multiple times...
Pls fix
>>269148818>>269148891try editing the page a little, maybe.like 1 pixel dot somewhere
>>269148920That only works if it thinks you’re uploading duplicate images. I doubt it would work for a connection error.
>>269147735damn she's activating her green thumb abilities... kowai!
.png let's go
>>269148756Anon...
Post the image on litterbox then another anon posts the image and OP continues.
>>269149146hypocrite
>>269148953Nah try it bro.I think it's some AI detection thing
>>269149146nicesakuya is already full of her shenanigans
>>269147428fucking finallyits a long wait for a new chapter even without hiatus
>>269147428>MAL
>>269149288What the fuck for a second time
>>269149336it's bird shaped
>>269149288AHHHHHHH no Sakuya, don't make my red beans grow ahahah so scary
>>269149288Some charts need to be revised.
>super eye>she's spying at the lady and the creepkinda lame power desu
>>269149459Is Mako about to kill this guy
>>269149507i think he's gonna make a hole where the woman is sitting to rescue her from the guy
>>269149146Sakuya cute as always
>>269149520Nice. Definitive proof he's the Hamamatsu hiruko. But how the fuck is Sakuya the bird? Was there any foreshadowing for that?
>>269149382>she’s not the fungus huh.
I'm just here thinking that maybe the fact bird hiruko had 2 different patterns might have to do with this...
fug where is the bird hiruko found again, not hamamatsu, i am high.But mt fuji is visible from the inn right
>>269149753Kirubeam time?
>>269149761near Izu peninsula, but yeh close to Mt. Fuji
>>269149740But that raises the question of why there would be two kids who became nearly identical hiruko.
>>269149753is the heels the woman wearing practical, post apocalypse?after sawatari sniffing THAT HEELED SHOE, i am paying attention to footwear>>269149831yeah aside from the hirukofied kids panel with sakuya and no taka, only myths are the clue i think.Goddess Sakuya flies around mt fuji and the area surrounding it.
>>269149885I love this genocidal maniac.
>>269149728>Taka isn't there.I somehow never realized this. It's pretty obvious then huh. It baffles me how blind and retarded I can be sometimes.>>269149885She's so cute
So who the hell was the fungus?
>>269149863I'm just thinking the second pattern is his original one, and the first one he got from eating Sakuya's hiruko. But that panel from ch57 kinda fucks me over, we got the right idea all along and just ignored the fact Taka wasn't there.>>269149918>Goddess Sakuya flies around mt fuji and the area surrounding it.I guess there's more to gods than just fluff. Michika's god being from Ibaraki and all. Get to it god-anon.
>>269149969sorry that was me
>>269149981wait wait im coping again. the bird is Sakuya, but the power is from Taka's hiruko... yeh yeh... Ishiguro, I kneel>>269149969we just don't know then, for the time being
>>269150072Jesus Christ, how horrifying
>>269150072Nata's power maybe?
>>269150135maybe mako's reality warping but not committing to make holes
>>269150176That makes more sense.
>>269149964>ATAA>anata wa mou shinde imasuBest lolibaba ever
>>269150072NANI?!!
>>269149964
>>269150376Thanks for the raws
>>269150376"old heaven" was called "new heaven" back thenand somehow they lost it, so make a new new heaven.My theory on who the fungus is... Japan defense forces tried to take old heaven with the hiruko children in their possession and that kid turned
ishiguro i kneel
>>269150376thank you anon... some stuff to change with this chapter, but damn it. I guess it really was there in front of us all this time huh?Timeline for those who need it
>>269150507What if the fungus was the pieces of Mimi that got cut off?
>>2691499641>ATAA!2>?3>anata wa mou>shinde imasu.4>that's some old shcool anime you know here!>little girls should only watch anime for little girls!5>how prejudiced!6>the Takahata Academy is for people who suffer from prejudices and discriminations!
>>269150574too far awaydont mind the other things, what matters is mimihime's location
>>269150565and the character sheet, same thing. this one will be harder to rearrange now
>>269150376Thank you for the dump. Praying TL anon remembers it's today. Mikura was too cute this chapter. I'm so glad it continued right where it left off and didn't skip ahead.
>>269149520I guess also makes more sense, didn't interpret it correctly the first time around
>>269150176> mako's reality warping but not committing to make a holewonder if the detail where his eyes are half-opened when using his powers are in older chapters
>>269150922it is
>>269151018nice
>>269147428The book Maru is reading. From the wiki
>>269151072read the summary of that book, i think it's a story spoiler.it's a sci fi with suspended animation (hiruko things)
>>269151072Oops. From the wiki>The romantic situation in this story is a very interesting, very odd one: it is nothing less than a mutual sexual interest between an engineer of thirty and a girl of twelveBased Ishiguro
>>269149459so what exactly is that thing doing? Is it just pointing where the lady is?
>>269151135mikura suggested sakuya to call her ability "super eye"she can project her tentacle bird thing and see what it's seeing
>>269151072alright, I've got something to read till next chapter
>>269147428>MAL mentionedlmao
>>269151116Definitely. This part too.>Belle injects him with an illegal "zombie" drug, reducing him to somnolent compliance.You reckon this could be what Mikura's medicine is?
>>269151385yeah i believe the medicine isn't a cure since meena is up to no good! and tricking shino!
it's so prominent now but did nata always have those full lips?can't believe she prioritized stealing lip filler after apocalypse!
>>269151737no, I think this is a thing only after Shino got in.
>>269149388I had been asking myself that for a while, but how would Taka have turned into the Bird Hiruko if he died before succumbing to the disease thing? In my mind that has always been the pre-requisite for HirukoficationOtherwise, Shiro and Mimihime could also turn into a hiruko even after killing themselves, something they did specifically to avoid that fateKeep in mind I'm a retard goldfish memory speedreader so I might be forgetting something
>>269151737She started duckfacing after she got her memory back.
>>269151759>>269151879shino is so funny
>>269151818Taka turning into the bird Hiruko was the biggest counterpoint to the children needing the disease to turn. Now that it's confirmed that it isn't him, there's nothing contradicting Aoshima's explanation. They will only turn if they die while having the disease.
>>269151818mimihime couldn't turn because she had no core, but Shiro could, yes. His POV suggests you need the disease, he doesn't know about the cores. In my mind only a core is required to turn, the disease only makes them turn quicker. but that's just me, there are people who think the disease is required.>>269151999that's true too, I still think we can't assume it is required just yet anyways. Aoshima just explained what her experiences suggest, since she probably hasn't seen a kid die without the disease.My copium for this chapter is as follows: Sakuya is the bird, and she was already an Hiruko by 2029. She ate Taka's corpse before it turned (even if he couldn't because of no disease) and embodied his traits. The lobster looking things always kinda seemed out of place in that bird. I don't think there's other Hiruko who isn't consistent in its design/animal.
>>269152113>mimihime couldn't turn because she had no coreDidn't Maru kill her by crushing her core?
my tablet is broken, new one is on the way. don't mind the ugly lines
>>269151737
>>269149602bird still makes more sense for the sword guy who married anzu, I'm not seeing how super-eye is connected
https://youtu.be/EcDvUUB1H1I
>>269152220yes he did, what I mean is that the core is required to turn into hiruko, but also to keep them alive, since the kids themselves are hiruko, if that makes any sense.
>>269152386Oh right, that makes sense
>>269152351I mean, they share the same marking, can't be more obvious than that.>>269147735
the tentacle bird thing sakuya is projecting has the "3 whips on each arm" too.the sfx also matches.She can probably use her projected tentacle bird offensively but chose to use it for utility ( super eye )
>>269152351Man eater forms and their normal powers aren't a direct correlation. Kuku's monster could shoot water and had a water shield even though her powers were just her sticky hands.
i can't get over this !
' 3 '
I kinda disappointed from this reveal, but I guess it makes sense. I wonder if the fungi was an offspring or something else, it was weird that they didn't kill it like the others.And I wonder if we are going to see how Ohma got separated from Michika, but since we are done with Michika, Mimihime and Shiro, that seems unlikely. By the looks of it, she probably died from the disease before she could meet them again.

>>269154414>it was weird that they didn't kill it like the othersnot for lack of trying
>>269154162nice>>269154414They didn't kill the mountain hiruko, or the squid either. Technically not even Ohma's one, but they tried. So not killing it because its dangerous doesn't sound weird to me.>>269154520tlanon welcome
>>269154414ohma was in the basement of shiro and mimihime's building.They met. When Ohma got sick and was about to die and turn, she was isolated in the basement. That's probably how Shiro got the idea that dying from the bruising disease turns you to a hiruko. Or maybe Taka kept in touch with mimi and shiro and told them about Anzu. Or both

>>269154947self-correction - the name she suggests is "Super eye" like the anon above wrote out, I'm just stupid and assumed she meant アイ as in 愛
>>269155403Super love... that's Robin's power!Thanks anon, appreciated
this guy does super love too
>>269155166thanks for the fast translation as always anon. I wonder if tokio is still alive and we'll see her soon
Im a retard, what's the reveal of this month's chapter
>>269156132sakuya is the bird hiruko
the material of the bird looks like the fungus
Amatsuhito just means something like "heavenly being"? I'm even more impressed they can actually know about the kids, thought that there would be more secrecy around them.
Sakuya is the first kid that shows up in chapter 1, kinda. Although the seconf page has a little more focus on her. I guess it can't be a coincidence she's the first Hiruko as well.
>>269156951
>>269156951Left is the fish girl, isn't it? She's also the second hiruko.
>>269157104yeh its herwell, she's technically the third hiruko, if you count the Asakusa one. just take a look at the second page though...
>>269156951What an ideal little slice of heaven. You got tomatoes, a big pillar, rocks in the water. What’s not to love?
>>269157127Hmm, one could argue that the first page shows the order in which Maru and Kiruko will encounter them, while the second is the order in which they will appear on the manga, but that seems to farfetched.
>>269155166>In the next chapter, Kiruko and the others will go to Kyushu in search of Maru's twin brotherI wonder if Yamato is going to be a sperg like Maru is or if he's going to be more normal since he actually got to grow up (as far as we know) relatively normally with Kona and Tokio.
>>269147508They looted a moving company
>>269157848maybe he has maru touch and accidentally triggered it as a toddler like juugo and killed a random kid (this one that's suspiciously missing)and he grew up angsty because of that
What the hell is a power max machine?
>>269158339this i guess.Can you even get strong from cardio? I only lift to michika max
>>269147428>>269154520Chapter 65: Mikura Manaka 1
>>269158768A terra formars cameo?
And that's it. Shino using the power of autism to build heaven.Thanks raw anon, and thanks TL anon.See you, bye bye.
>>269159041Thanks TSanon, very cool>Shino using the power of autism to build heavenAhhh so I could create heaven as well!
>>269149918>is the heels the woman wearing practical, post apocalypse?Bad idea for hauling supplies or running, perfectly fine for overseeing supply distribution, office work, and light to medium city walking. It's completely possible to fight in these if you're experienced, which she isn't. It's still early enough in the apocalypse that she doesn't have to forage and clearly isn't worrying about fending off looters and gangs. Boots will always be more comfortable than pumps. For all heels, the wider the heel block, the more comfortable it'll be. Her's looks like a tapered stacked heel, maybe a 2.5", so not a great idea, but you can get some pretty comfortable ones nowadays (not enough detail to ascertain if they're good quality and comfortable or cheap and painful).
>>269159041Thanks anons.So, Takahara also had academies for regular people?
>>269159436yep, this is why they know about Shino
>>269158768The TL note is kinda confusing and pointless since "Powermax" was omitted.>>269158984The Uwaa bubble is messed up. That's it I think. Thank you as always.
>>269159526Thanks
>>269159509lmao, I really have to re-read the seriesI bought all the available volumes but they are collecting dust on my desk, still sealed
I love the way she walks out here.
why is she making that duck mouth?
>>269161080thats just how some characters have their mouth, even tooru has some big lips
>>269161080She likes to look cute.
>>269158937Could he be the Asakusa hiruko?
>>269161394eheh nice catch, something for him to fix for the volume
I wonder what kind of clothes I would wear in the apocalypse of this manga? the tactical chubby guy's clothing makes sense but it's very eye-catching, I would wear a bulletproof vest under a jacket to avoid drawing attention
>>269159041ty for the excellent work TSanonI made a mistake labelling the TL notes, these ones were just for any anons who might be able to correct possible mistakes, and not for average readers. next time I’ll make a note of which ones shouldn’t be included in the scan
>>269160888Kid thinks she's Jesus
>>269160888she's so evil and sassy
>>269159021So what's the reason why the academy children are known to the receptionist?
>>269162812well, she created hybrid children with superpowers and cheated her own death by taking over the body of one of them.what did jesus do? make magic wine, walk on water and visit some people as a ghost after dying.she's not entirely unjustified to act a little cocky
updated the timeline, kinda of an easy fix anyways
>>269164097almost forgot, catbox link for the pdf, if anyone careshttps://files.catbox.moe/5n94px.pdf
>>269164097Thanks
>>269158756The glasses and the shade of her hair made me think she could be related to the owl manga woman but after looking at the chapters she was in she looks a little different>>269158879Did not see the bird hiruko connection coming at all, but the way the symbol is drawn here with the groups of three does remind me of the way the whips were grouped
>>269147428>Pages may be out of order for some reasonWhy?
>>26916213211 had the best outfit. The poncho was good for hiding all kinds of things.
another onehttps://files.catbox.moe/vwyn1e.pdf
>>269165473Kindle rip was unordered. Idk why
Remember that this now implies Sakuya could've seen Kona and Tokio's business through the walls.
>>269166323And also Sawatari and those shoes
>>269166323good point, also means she was probably aware of soto no soto
>>269164097cool
>>269166323She wants to recreate what she saw with Mako.
>>269152222wasn't the bird Hiruko canonically Taka? maybe its just a detail
>>269168640>canonically assumed*
>>269168640No, that was just a theory based on his name and ability. The symbols are unique to each hiruko so this debunks that theory.
>>269165664you forgot to bump the chapter number in the corner
No fucking way. I'm still in denial about the bird hiruko. /a/ was wrong?
>>269165664>some mistery still surrounds this HirukoAnon, it's spelled mystery
>>269171019No, I guess we were misled because we never saw her powers.
I DONT RECOGNIZE THESE CHARACTERS. DID THEY JUST INTRODUCE THEM BECAUSE THEY KILLED THE OLDER GENERATION STUDENTS?
>>269172782These characters have been around for over 20 chapters.
isn't sakuya the girl from like page 2 of chapter 1 watering the plants?
>>269149964>sexismDropped
>>269172782time for you to reread all of it fren :D
>>269173624That was when she was first seen, yeah. She wasn't named until after the bombing arc though.
>>269152113>The lobster looking thingsIt's not a lobster but a Leanchoiliid.
>>269172782t.
>>269152113Since Mikura/Shino died from the disease, did she also turn into a monster? Or Maru destroyed the core before that happened?
>>269174358>Or Maru destroyed the core before that happened?Maru had no idea he could do it on "humans" at that point, so no.
>>269174358She died before Maru found out that humans could have cores since he only found out with Totori. It's likely that they left before she transformed if she transformed at all. It's possible that she could have the disease but the core (and powers) stayed with the real Nata.
>>269171019It was a perfectly reasonable assumption based on the information we had.
>>269171019We were tricked by the hawk name.
>>269174471This made me think something. Considering how hell bent Shino was into getting Tokio's child and reach her, it would not surprise me if "her" hiroku form (if she turned into one) was on her way to find her, all while Kiroku and Maru were traveling around the country. It would make perfect sense if they encountered it on their way (i.e. the following chapters) and Nata recognized that the monster is using her powers, especially now that the plot is about Shino's shenanigans during the restoration period.
>>269152113Let go of the weird cope, it only discredits anything you can come up with. In the first place the link between Taka and the bird is tenuous at best. A vague name motif that isn't replicable with the other children and a slashing attack (of which it was never confirmed that it was the same mechanism). A reasonable enough conjecture at the time, but one that is now clearly wrong. Taka was never shown with a tentacle.
>>269175050>>269152113>don't think there's other Hiruko who isn't consistent in its design/animal.None of them have been consistent, ever. Take it from someone who actually studies animals scientifically for a living.
>>269158952Kek, even after all this time i love this shitty granny
Sakuya is too hot to die. I refuse to believe she was the bird.
>>269173695She is Ursula von der Leyen/Hillary/Kamala of that world why are you surprised?
>>269174118Kuku...
>>269171003>>269171068thanks>>269174027nice. still goes with my point though>>269174866She died in Tokyo, its unlikely they'll find it (if it exists) going the direction they're traveling now>>269175050>Let go of the weird cope, it only discredits anything you can come up withI wouldn't have it any other way. I'll stand by it, until I get disproven by something that was in front of our eyes the whole time again. The merging stuff the Innkeeper yaps about probably has some truth to it in some sense even if she was just saying it to cope (like me).>>269175603This is the only Hiruko to have such conflating elements in its design I think. A bird with arthropod looking appendages? I could say I always found it odd out of the bunch, but only saying it now is too convenient, I guess I should've spoken my mind about it sooner.
a Leanchoilia huh.After watching Ponyo, I've read Japanese kids like cambrian creatures the same way american kids (back then? gen alpha is into weird shit) like dinosaurs
>>269179034
>>269162812Jesus? No. She thinks she's Izanagi and Izanami.
I've corrected what anons noticed, and added the markings we know connect hiruko to the children. I know there are more markings, but no others have been shown by the kids.
>>269150376>>269155166>>269159041thanks for the raws, translation and typesetting anons!
>>269164097Thanks>Asura kills herself after realizing why she was born forI think it should be either 'why she was born' or 'what she was born for't. ETL
>>269180134you are correct
the hiruko's design in the BD booklet is so chicken
>>269179034In 1994 there was a big Japanese documentary series about the history of life (with a banger soundtrack by Michiru Ōshima. I've heard motifs from that soundtrack in later anime series she also worked on). It was also released an Germany, where I watched it as a kid. It had a big part about Cambrian organisms with amazing CGI for that time.Seems there was shitty English translation too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x7M348dVaio
>>269158720Now I feel bad for Mako. I never thought about it before, but he never meets the real Nata again.
>>269149981>But that panel from ch57I don't think anyone posted it yet, so here it is.
>>269180134>>269180192thanks anons, if you spot anymore let me know please, even if it is just a tiny thing
>>269153200>Man eater forms and their normal powers aren't a direct correlationthey are tho, Ohma and Mako both retained the exact same abilities in their monster form that they had in their human form. so why would Sakuya change hers from seeing through walls to slashing attacks?
>>269181101that anon meant the water spitting gun attack the fish hiruko does.Anjoulas can shock people and make them levitate towards her.They can gain abilities they didn't have while as a human.her projection has the whips the bird hiruko has. >>269152839She chose to use it for utility and not offensively. Probably because it's not necessary and Mako can do it. Sakuya seems to be the refined and elegant type that won't do the dirty work unless necessary.>There's a legend where konohana sakuya hime felt like destroying the top of a mountain for the dumb reason of being taller than mt fuji
Is MC still a cuck or has he made a move?
Taka's slashing is not from a whip but an invisible katana. You can get Katana from the characters of his new name, Minakata. The God he was based on, Takeminakata, is a wargod worshipped by samurais.Michika has the slicing power too, Michika's god is also the god of swords.In Shinto, the Gods are kinda redundant (there's a lot of gods of related to agriculture, blades, etc) so the kids might have some redundancy in abilities. Maru and Michika share hiruko sense. Most of the kids have varying levels of precognition
>>269181438maru told kiruko's father figure that he's the boyfriend
>>269181458Oh? Based. What was her reaction?
>>269181485tsun tsun
>>269147428>Maru reads classical SF>Meanwhile Kiruko reads a guide about eatable plants
>>269181710*pretends to read
Any new rape?
>>269179034>>269180371That's interesting I guess that explains some of Ishiguro's interest in cambrian creatures. Not that it would be weird to be fascinated by them if there wasn't this documentary.>>269180956It's the sole reason why I'll never forgive Shiro (her being a genocidal maniac doesn't really bother me that much).>>269181032The panel that broke us... and we almost had a whole year to get it right. I feel partially to blame, because I was one of the few anons that noticed it at the time, and I stirred it in the direction of Sakuya being the fungi ("hey here's all the kids we've seen hirukofied... and Sakuya! I wonder when she will appear!" that's what I got from it). At least there really was something to panel, but we kinda decided to ignore what was(n't) on there. Damn it. We had the technology anons...This panel (recontextualized) and this page >>269157015 converted me into a Kona=Isopod believer. Sorry I ever doubted you anon... it does raise the question though... Sakuya's markings are the same as the bird, but why aren't the ispod markings the same we saw in Mimi's visions? Even if we go the route of merging Hirukos, the mark should be the same, right? >>269181101>>269181318This is something that boggles me right now as well. I'm thinking... why would Ishiguro shows us an electrical Hiruko (fungi) after we just saw one (anjulas)? Could fungi be its offspring, maybe? Ohma's Hiruko also seemed to be different than the main one. Although the speculation surrounding it stems from the fact Ohma's a hermophrodite, while Anzu isn't (from what know, there's no way she is). I'm sure we will get stuck discussing this sort of thing until we get another chapter like this. Oh also, the cover for chapter 54 also shows us Anzu's markings, not sure how to represent it as an icon though.
hmmm
>>269182020>Ohma's Hiruko also seemed to be different than the main oneNot the main one, I meant the little ones. You get the idea.>>269181446>Maru and Michika share hiruko senseIf I had to guess that's shared between all the kids, some just feel strongly, kinda like the precognition you mention. Taka seems to sense Ohma and Michika just as they're approaching, but that could also be him hearing them screm. Either way, his sense seems weak at best.>>269182101isn't that nanaki? the longer hair version>>269178812>This is the only Hiruko to have such conflating elementsJust remembered that the spider Hiruko has weird stalk eyes, I guess it stands out from the spider design.
>>269181503Based, she wants his cock
>>269182176>isn't that nanaki? the longer hair versionyeah. I think it's nanaki. Could it be the "updated" version of the image is the one in the guidebook and not the one in ch1? there's no gen3 kid that matches the ch1 image.>Maru and Michika share hiruko sense>If I had to guess that's shared between all the kidsyeah. Momoika felt Maru too and was even better because she can tell he looks like Tokio.Maybe Shiro going to the basement to see Maru and Kiruko is not a coincidence but because Shiro felt Maru?I think the features hiruko kids have is given to them with a purpose. Are the kids meant to find each other if they ever spread out? Perhaps to find each other, procreate and make an amatsuhito race that inherits the world after the old world's destruction?or maybe find each other after getting hirukofied and merge and make a giga hiruko and destroy the survivorsIn the legends, Izanami who was seething from getting sealed in her underworld cave promised to kill 1000 people everyday.
So does it hold true that the author makes sure to introduce the human version of the kids before their corresponding maneater form appears in the story?
>>269182742ohma appeared after her hiruko.mako was a background character and had more screentime after his hiruko appeared. (as far as i remember)
>>269182672>Could it be the "updated" version of the image is the one in the guidebook and not the one in ch1?I think so, even Shiro and Anzu look a bit different there. That one kid was just a placeholder pretty much. I think Nanaki's hair is like that because of spider chelicerae or maybe the pedipalps, but that's a long shot and obviously I only noticed after knowing she's the spider hiruko.>Maybe Shiro going to the basement to see Maru and Kiruko is not a coincidence but because Shiro felt Maru?I wouldn't be surprised>Perhaps to find each other, procreate and make an amatsuhito race that inherits the world after the old world's destruction?I think that's a trait Meena wanted, not necessarily Shino. Although, if Hiruko reproduce with normal people and yield hiruko, it would be a moot point...humm>maybe find each other after getting hirukofied and merge and make a giga hiruko and destroy the survivorsits a bit of tangent, but this kinda reminds me of gu>The traditional preparation of gu poison involved sealing several venomous creatures (e.g., centipede, snake, scorpion) inside a closed container, where they devoured one another and allegedly concentrated their toxins into a single survivor, whose body would be fed upon by larvae until consumed.
>>269179034>they’re into big mutating explosions
>>269183098damn it anon
>>269179034Pokémon era kids were into these sort of beetles.
>>269182176taka is so handsome...>>269182020>why would Ishiguro shows us an electrical Hiruko (fungi) after we just saw one (anjulas)?my current theory on the fungi is, it's another kid taken by JDF.The JDF/the remnants of their government were also the ones that messed up the takahara office in chapter#47.Losing Old heaven is another takahara raid and the JDF/gov brought a kid (weaponised) and that kid became the fungus.In the mythology, there's a lot of thunder related gods. Michika (god of swords and thunder), Raijin, Ajisukitakahikone , 8 ikazuchis>>269182991>I think that's a trait Meena wanted, not necessarily Shino.Agreed. A lot of us think Meena is rogue but got away with what she's doing because what she tells takahara has double meanings in a monkey's paw way/has plausible deniability>Nanaki's hair is like that because of spider chelicerae or maybe the pedipalps,I can see it! that's what it's called huh >its a bit of tangent, but this kinda reminds me of gu>Gu (Chinese: 蛊) or jincan (Chinese: 金蠶) was a venom-based poison associated with cultures of south China, particularly Nanyue. I have to look into that.Checking out JP tengoku blog posts, I saw that there might be a wordplay between "lonely blood" and chinese "blood poison" (mountain incest family). The 7 lucky gods are foreign gods introduced by Chinese trade too except Ebisu ( Hiruko's transformation )bleh so many things to search>>269183315beetle hiruko soon
>>269183371>The story tells that Hiruko eventually washed ashore—possibly in Ezo (蝦夷, ancient Hokkaidō)—and was cared for by the Ainu Ebisu Saburo (戎三郎)a foreign God to the Yamatos i guess...
>>269183371I suppose all the thunder odd job gods were just local variations?
>>269183371Gu ritual is where you bunch a lot of poisonous insects into a jar that's sealed the one that's left alive is then used as the source for poison in occult ritual type poison use.This is a theme for a manga series that's one of the worst in survival manga (people are made to eat each other and shit to survive in that one), Kengan Ashura/Omega has a ton of Gu ritual mentions.
>>269183582We have “arrived” in the heavenly delusion.
>>269158967he shouldn't grown to be 20 feet tall in the fourth panel
>>269183371I think he's gonna show up/have importance later
>>269183846my retarded ass was going to say he's in jail, but I guess that doesn't really matter nowWhere did you got his name from?
>>269147428Just saying this should've give them a food poisoning. This bitch dumb, you don't eat grass! Fking hell.
>>269183928In the anime credits. It's his job title instead of name
>>269173695I think I preferred the word "prejudice" being used there, as she talks about prejudice in the next panel
>>269184134After the Kaminakas and Dr. Sawatari, he probably knows the most about meena.If the government/JDF/Robin/Robin's group wants to do something to Meena, he's one of the best bets they have. ( i can see them starting to reverse engineer/ study meena)>>269182020based and kona-isopod-pilled
So when is season 2 releasing? I remember it ending on a cliffhanger.
>>269184420all this time I was thinking ispod hiruko was kona after changing, but what if it is before turning into what mimi saw? that would explain better the issue I noticed with the markings. So it really is Kona (could still have been messed with by Robin), but eventually merged with another one, I'm assuming it was eaten, that's why the markings in mimi's vision are different.>>269184628It ended on a reveal, not a cliff hanger
>>269184420>isopodanon, it's a tardigrade
>>269184097You can clearly see from the picture that it's not grass and the translator is an idiot.
>>269185022guidebook calls it isopod, anon is right
>>269185022guidebook said isopod, read the entirety of the pic firsti translated the caption myself... Even though mimihime's vision looked like an isopod, it's the asakusa hiruko that was called "オオグンクムシ" (Bathynomus doederleinii)it's a clue not to take the tardigrade looking hiruko at face value.
>>269185064I don't give a fuck what they call itthe toed legs, the weird protruding head, the general body shape even, it's a tardigrade.
>>269184966Kona hiruko is a pokemon... The tardigrade turned into an isopod!!!
>>269184097>>269185033many wild grasses are edible (typically the roots rather than the leaves, though sometimes the leaves too), some were cultivated by humans before they got better crops, others are common fallbacks during famines.
>>269185022I agree with you. 100% a Tardigrade.
>>269181503They're definitely going to fuck soon.
>>269185148I mean, originally people called it tardigrade until the guidebook came along. although the carapace thing is more isopod like. regardless I agree with you, looks more like a tardigrade, isopod is just for consistency. it's common name nonsense anyways, I want to know its scientific name (what kid it is).
>>269186073none of the hiruko are exactly real animals either way, they all have some anatomical aberrations.It reminds me of the recent episode of Elusive Samurai, they fought a forest creature called a "ox-demon", but that thing was very obviously a monstrous boar (really more like a warthog) regardless of the name.
The fungus hiruko was inside of a department store but was not mobile like other hiruko. I guess this means that whoever the kid was, died inside of the store or nearby. It's likely that the kid was living inside of the store and since the store was already picked clean, it's likely that it happened years after the collapse. This doesn't help to narrow down who it was but it's basically all I can come up with relating to it.
>>269182101>>269182672who is the girl at the top right? despite being from the same group as Tokio's, I don't think she ever got some focus
>>269188740It's Anzu, she appeared plenty, but yes never really focused. Best we had was her getting flustered at the pool and her wedding.
>>269188740You mean Anzu? She married Taka then turned into the behemoth. She doesn't have as much focus as some of the others but she had plenty of screen time.
>>269188806>>269188846wait, I meant top left, sorry
Has Kiruko blurted out anything new concerning her homo(hetero) lust for Maru?.
>>269189082nanaki>>269189102not this chapter.Maru will impregnate Kiruko on Robin's birthday next chapter, trust
>>269189151how about the last 2-3 chapters?
>>269189102Well she was blushing about Maru calling himself her boyfriend in the last chapter. Then there's her dressing like a stripper a few chapters ago. Aside from that there's the Maru sniffing from the previous volume.
>>269182101>>269182672oh it was fixed in the volume releaseIt really is nanaki
>>269150176>>269151018>>269158720Cute Mako. Too bad he is getting by the old hag.
>>269189428She's going to be bouncing on his cock and still not know what her feeling mean.
>>269189500I don't think so, and I have proof
Ayyy lmao girl is creepy
>>269189151right, it's weird how sidelined she and Iwa were>>269188052maybe it was in stasis like Ohma
>>269190438>maybe it was in stasis like Ohmait is.
>>269190438>>269190533I like having reasons to repost this silly images i make!
>>269190438The stasis form was just it waiting on the ceiling. The awakened form was still just an immobile fungus.
>>269190631wonder what triggered the awakening.If it's "food", there was a frog in the water for the fungus.
Fuck Maru
>>269190742Robin WILL
>>269190691Maybe they prefer to eat humans. Have we seen them eat any animals?
>>269190984no, we haven't>In the legends, Izanami who was seething from getting sealed in the underworld (cave?) promised to kill 1000 people everyday.Hirukos really are made for total human death...I thought the maneater part is just dietary preference, they're obligate human-vores huh
>>269190918God willing
>>269191072At this rate, we'll need a Tengoku chart for all of the gods.
>>269190742>>269190918>>269191315
>>269191396Would.
>>269188806>Best we had was her getting flustered at the poolYou should add on that it was because of Taka. He made Anzu flustered by teasing her. She also had another focus scene.>>269188846Anzu is so pretty.
>>269191072>>269191350In certain sense, the series reminds me of Shin Megami Tensei. Not just the post-apocalyptic setting, but the play between japanese deities, especially Tokio and Izanami. While, in Megaten, Izami represents an old deity, Tokio signals the revival of that deity as a renewal symbol of Japan. In Tengoku Daimakyou, one could interpret Meena as Izami and Tokio as the new goddess, which is why I think that Tokio or Yamato are either a terrible threat to humanity (created by Meena?) or a seed of salvation (created by Asura?). Shino realized that at some point, which is why she has to cure one of them before they become monsters or something like that. But given for how long they've been traveling, it's hard to tell if any of them have become monsters by now.You can also make connections between Mimihime and the Hare of Inaba (both were torn apart) and Anzu and Ame-no-Uzume (both gifted dancers). Asura can also be evil or a protector, depending on the religion, so it is possible that her entire plan is to stop Meena, or to bring the end of humanity.
>>269192510thanks for sharing anon,i wonder if you can see more similarities with this:>gods the characters are based on , according to the guidebook(captions are what i think relates to the story)Tokiokishi no Kami -> tokio>Created after Izanagi had to purify himself after sealing his wife Izanami (in the underworld cave)Mimihime -> Ame no oshihomimi>earsKona -> sukunabikona>god of medicine>he got sick in the legends. got revived after dipping in a hotspringI think this is a cluetaka ->takeminakata no kami>a war god that's worshipped by samurais. that's where taka's katana and powers is based on.>dueled with michika's god and lostI think if he was the bird hiruko, he would be haunting the area around lake suwatarao -> ame no tajikarao>god of physical power>helped to get amaterasu back from hiding in a cavehe will probably return in some way because the manga teased us with his core.Anzu -> ame no uzume>dancesShiro -> kotoshironushikuku -> taniguku>frogMichika->takemikazuchi>god of thunder and a sword godwe've seen michika use a blade recentlysakuya -> konohanasakuya-hime>blossom-princess and symbol of delicate earthly life>also associated with volcanos and mt fujiyou don't expect the volcano part and focus on earthly life and flowers. That's why we thought she was the fungi.Volcanos are explosive and powerful, that's probably why people are surprised she has whips that slice people up.i've mentioned that there's a legend she destroyed a mountain top for being taller than her mt. fuji.Her shrines are around the mountain in hopes to pacify her.Maybe this is a spoiler. She seems silent but has resistance to Mikura bossing her around.She might blow up!>depicted flying around mt fujiNata -> Mikuratanaa divine necklace. A name unlike others. Makes sense because her brain is shino's
>>269194742speculation mostly based on how the names sound like.meena -> izanami ( from i-373)izanami is the mother of hiruko, meena birthed the hiruko children.I think she herself is a hiruko and resented the ones who sealed her up in the underworld cave. Like Nata brain on Nata bot.she promises to kill 1000 people everyday ( thats the catastrophe killed a lot of people, and the hirukofied children kill some more)Also birthed the main japanese islands which includes Yamato ( thats why I think Yamato is the clone)iwa -> iwanagahimenanaki -> nakisawamehani -> haniyasubiko>god of earth and agricultureHe's one of the DJs of potato radio. Potato, that's so earth and agriculturemomoika -> omoikane no kami>god of wisdom and intelligence. His name means "having the wisdom and thoughtfulness of many people>people pray to Omoikane for success in school and exams.despite being a god of wisdom, Momoika looks dumb lol...asura -> AmateRASU???>He has a variety of abilities, such as the ability to predict the future, heal, and fly, whichfits the image of Asura as someone who is somehow different from the other students.>hid herself in the afterworld cave ( asura's suicide ) and will have to come out one day and come back to the plotRobin Inazaki -> Izanagihe will marry meena one day.He does experiments connecting humans and hiruko.Maybe he will connect himself to meena and become an "immortal"?Might be a part of a group that can access meena.. like the JDF or what remains of the Japanese government..And it's the JDF and the gov giving him hirukos to play with.
>>269195099>despite being a god of wisdom, Momoika looks dumb lol...I find her so interesting. She was a leader of the sealing squad that protected the city, apparently she even managed to get a hiruko to a near death state. She was never seen standing that I can remember so it's possible that she couldn't for some reason. She had strongest hiruko sense that we've seen, even being able to see into Anjulas' mind. All of that and she was never the focus of any chapter.
>>269195099That's a nice catch with Asura. I think she is related to both the demi-gods called Asura and Amaterasu herself. She killed herself when she realized her purpose, ending humanity like the other hiroku (most likely). If we go by the myth of how Amaterasu hid herself in a cave, the recent appearance of Michika and Anzu as Anjulas, could indicate that her return is near. Also, we are missing matches for Tsukiyomi, Susano-o and Kagutsuchi, the last one which burned Izanami to death.Another interesting bit, Izanami and Izanagi are part of a group of seven primordial deities, which may be related to the other five donors.
>>269195971the roosters making rooster noises too ( sakuya's chicken hiruko )
>>269195971and oh yeah, gonna add to my to do list if the donors can be related to the primordial gods.Maybe meena will have a flashback story and we'll see tsukiyomi, susanoo and kagutsuchi>when izanami burned after giving birth to kagutsuchi, she shat herself and her feces became hani's god
>>269191396God i love yaoi
>>269191893>>269196479maru with a wig looks like a beautiful girl... maybe a grown up marin would look like that...Robin is a siscon... robin is the one taking it up in the ass btw
>>269195702>never the focus of any chapter.Got cucked out of a chapter cover too. It's criminal honestly. She was the hero of Nara and single-handedly defeated Anjulas with just her mind but got completely sidelined.
>>269196592I blame Shiro and Mimihime for usurping the first half of the manga, but also the mangaka for introducing dozens of hiroku.
>>269196592She also saved the lives of the second generation kids just before the bombs dropped. A real hero.
what did momoika mean by this?
>>269197269she has autismshe knows Maru can kill hiroku with his hands
>>269197269She's seeing her future battle with him as the secret final boss.
>>269197269Why is she always grabbing her dick?
>>269195702>>269196592>>269197004Are you talking about the girl who constantly has her hands in her pants for some reason?
>>269195702We saw her standing as a kid.
>>269199237That's the one. Constantly flicking that bean.
>>269200073momoika's a hermaphroditesometimes she dual wields
>>269200274so the hairdryer scene was foreshadowing... sasuga ishiguro...
>>269200274Is that confirmed? They're not all hermaphrodites.
>>269197269It hit me that the comforter is not only to make Momoika feel warm, it hides the fact she's always touching herself.>>269200680like half the kids in her batch are hermaphrodites .She's a futa in my mind (it's not official)
I swear she's grabbing her dick here
>>269200846I won't believe she has one unless it's officially confirmed
>>269200787I'm sure they all are, the staff probably engineered them on purpose after Tokio got pregnant.
>>269200977Your timeline is off by many years.
>>269177718I need one of those
>>269150565>>269150642This stuff is crazy. I remember being in these threads ages and ages ago and this stuff was just haphazardly thrown together in paint, now look at them. Wild. Also even though I've kept up with the series, I am so totally clueless on all this stuff from previous chapters. Maybe time for another reread.
>>269200274Impressive
>>269201430i bet the reason adult momoika is always sitting and wheeled around is because her genitals are too big and sensitive, like a shunga painting
>>269149863Do we know what happens if a Hiruko eats another takuhara kid?
>>269201698we don't know but not impossible. Anjoulas tried to eat Maru, maybe.
>>269201698It's never happened before.
>>269203365Kiruko's bf looks cute here
>>269148565why is there already a perfect spherical hole (sachio's?) in the corner of the door?
>>269201430Gorilla woman (male?)
>>269203830It's the same office that they broke into in chapter 47, with the Meena terminal. They were staying in the office before that woman with the glasses claimed all of their stuff.
The bombing is happening right now
>>269204259We're quickly approaching the asteroid date too. Say goodbye to France soon.
>>269204259I wonder if the JDF used all the other hirokus to invade the rest of the world.
>>269205208I don't understand why Ishiguro hates us this much, the asteroid literally is exactly the size of the entire country and falls right onto it.Still better death than getting stabbed by a random dude in Paris.
>>269203846
>>269206571>absWould
>>269206571I want her to tear me apart.
>>269208496If she is the first hiroku both the reader and Maru and Hiroku meet, what if she's also the last kid we see? In that plotline, at least.Also, the only kids we have not seen in the Maru's storyline and that had a major focus in the academy storyline are Asura, Tarao, Tokio, Kona (?) and Yamato.
>>269209479Asura might still be able to show up as some sort of ghost but Tarao is probably gone for good.
>>269203909ishiguro, i kneel
>>269185593I would rather eat tree bark than any grass to be safe.
>>269184097Further note, use bellies instead of stomach in pic related sentence, translator idiots."fill our bellies a little." sounds like how a native person would say that.
>>269211271regional, either is fine, personally i never use the word belly.
>>269211342stomachs plural in that sentence make no sense grammatically, bellies is what americans/british would most likely use, singular maybe but not plural.
>>269211394it sounds fine to me (american) and you can google it to find endless examples
NO
>>269211271Stomach is perfectly acceptable there.
>>269201330thanks a bunch anon, im glad you like it. ill still try to improve it somehow, im learning while doing it. if you see any errors or have suggestions of stuff to add let me know. visit the spreeadsheet as well, a few other anons also contribute in there
>>269212820YES
>>269215804she's not as chubby back then...
>>269206571Futawife
>>269215804I think I like this better than the jacket
A bit of speculation about what happens with MikuraShino uses the NEETs to build old heaven. Sakuya turns into a man eater which destroys their defenses and lets bandits take over. Shino takes Meena before she abandons Old Heaven. Shino switches names to Mikura and builds New Heaven. She learns about Maru from Shimazaki who moved in to New Heaven. She uses Mako to study hiruko transformations and develops the medicine. Mako turns into a man eater and Mikura leaves to find Maru.
>>269218882This is so hot because of Maru. Where are my Kiruko corrupting and feminizing Maru doujins aaaaaa
Ishiguro art for Sengoku Youko
>>269220886Based. Mizukami manga are awesome.
>>269209124>>269208496How will thez die?
>>269221057Yeah but they've been friends since before even Biscuit Hammer debuted.
>>269222631This style makes it look Maru has bigger boobs than Kiruko.
>>269219493I can understand Shino suffering because she caused this in the first place, but the kids suffering is just cruel.
>>269222995Everyone suffers in this manga
>>269222995>>269224366watch nata die without getting her personhood acknowledged by kirumaru
>>269224514She's gonna sacrifice herself to save Maru and Kiruko from Mikura/Shino's hiroku form, bookmark this.
>>269224514>lives with Doc for over a decade just fine>travels with Kiruko for a few weeks and diesSad
>>269158863>>269158894Both of their marks are on relevant parts of the body and Sakuya's is present the whole time she's using it. So why didn't we see Michika's? Is her sword arm not her actual power and just some kind of death-state manipulation?
>>269225236The marks aren't always clearly visible when they use their powers. I don't interpret them as being big glowing symbols, they're more subtle in universe so we only see them when the author wants us to see them.
>>269225756What if the marks are only visible when they get the disease?
>>269150705where was this symbol first shown?
>>269225870taka never had the disease and had no marks, shiro too.There's probably no mark if the ability is physical or intelligence related.>>269225950mako's hiruko
>>269225986forgot to mention kuku
>>269225950I think it was only on the cover page of chapter 40, on the squid monster.
>>269177718kiruko soup!
>>269226247
>>269226020kuku could have the markings on her palms when she was climbing, like Mako
>>269227243instead of powers that gets activated, I thought kuku had gecko fingers. A physical feature like Mimihime's ear and the beast boy
>>269227306I think the hiroku have a set of powers, both passive and active, but that we never see some of them because there was no reason to use them. Like, Taka was very resilient, but he never used his slash attacks (willingly) until he had to kill Michika. Anzu was very agile, but she never used any kind of physical attack, same with Kuku, Shiro, Tokio and most of the kids.They probably had no idea they had certain powers nor had a reason to use them in the academy, and some times they had no control over them, like Ohma or Mimihime.
>>269227306i was gonna say we've only seem gen 4 or 5 kids with these symbols (as kids), but i guess we've also seen anzu's... so i dunno
>>269228157but we didn't see anzu's marks while alive.My theory is, powers were too strong with gen 1, kona and especially asura.Takahara toned it down with the next generations and slowly adjusting it/ increasing it with each gen
>>269227844agreed. Taka didn't even know he slashed Michika back then and that seems to be common with gen 2.Asura asking Tokio what she's good at is probably Asura wanting Tokio to discover what her active ability is.
>>269228300>but we didn't see anzu's marks while alive.The closest was this from chapter 54. How canon it is is up to debate since it's a cover page.
>>269218882All I see is two bitches (male)
>>269228560but one of them is female[female(male)]
>>269228503an interesting detail here is the flap here being undone
>>269228975what does it meaaaann
>>269228999who knows, but it lets me see anzu's collar bones so all's good
>>269228808>female[female(male)]Best type of individual
>>269227844>Anzu was very agileAgile isn't exactly the right word. She was very flexible and lithe.
>>269203909wtfff
>>269192510>>269194742Nice. This is all very interesting. There were some brief discussions in the past of how Tengoku Daimakyou is connected to Japanese gods. But I think this is the first time the discussion is this in-depth and goes into how the Takahara children represent Japanese gods. That's good timing too, right after I picked up Touge Oni.
>>269230999There has been a lot of discussion about the god connections in the weekly analysis threads.
>>269230999i'm gonna repost it with more info on weekend threads If i find more connectionshave some moreIzanagi -> inazakiWhen Izanami told her hubby she'll kill 1000 people, Izanagi told her he'll make 1500 more thenSeems he has an aversion to death. Robin said something like "he won't let anybody die again" and obsessed with immortality experimentsMimihime:>Ame no oshihomimi was tasked with claiming the terrestrial lands during the Kuni-Yuzuri. After inspecting the human world, however, he refused to proceed and returned to heaven. Mimihime got out of Takahara and experienced the outside-of-the-outside, human world. Mimihime "refused to proceed" , starts bruising and dies / goes to heavenwonder if "refused to proceed" is a clue.I do buy the theory that the hiruko kids can't have any physical ailments but nobody said they can't get mental health ones.Is "refused to proceed" depression? There is no more air-conditioning after the apocalypse... JKMimihime probably thought the outside of the outside world is fun. She likes her new name. Then suddenly she lost that new world overnight due to the catastrophe. The mass deaths must be traumatizing. Her abilities are quite stressful too. What if her post cognition made her relive the catastrophe over and over?She probably saw desperate people doing scary, desperate things.She might be getting very anxious too since the day Shiro starts cutting her up comes closer and closer each day.
>>269230999aside from looking into gods, I also make weird theory images, details pics and sometimes fan artI haven't shared this here. Everyone must look at this
>>269232557Don't unleash that curse here
this is our 11-11-2024 near earth asteroid.Hope the artificial warriors or takahara didn't screw with it!
>>269232813soon
>>269232557Nobody should look at that. Some truths should remain hidden.
Anyone know what the Furutto announcement is about?
>>26923592415th anniversary celebration for another manga, but I'm not sure about the name.It's apparently a story collection collab.
>>269236411Thanks
>>269237523Cute
>>269227243Kuku's monster form had ring eyes that could have been her symbols. Alternatively, she had subtle wrinkles on her feet that could have been the symbols that directly translate to the fish hands.
>>269224514>>269224558Her personhood will get acknowledged after her death>Mikura/Shino's hiroku formWait I never thought about that. Why didn't Maru encounter it?
>>269243358maybe they need both the brain and body together to transform.
u know whats funnySawatari Teruhiko 猿渡照彦 kinda sounds like sarutahiko 猿田毘古also shares the character 猿In the mythssarutahiko saw ame no uzume's top(clothing) undone >>269228503 and got his neurons activated.sarutahiko marries ame no uzume.U can say that the scene where sawatari gets eaten by anjoulas is sarutahiko and ame no uzume becoming "one".cursed!
>>269243358It can take days for a dead hiruko to turn. Nanaki took a while after her death. Maru could have left too soon.
>>269243917damn, nice one, good stuff. I kneel once again>>269228999there you go anon
