>>273439965Hell yeah
>>273439965Post apocalyptic drip
Sex time?
>>273439965Cute Mikura. I'm guessing this is also meant mirror 47's cover of them as kids.
>>273440281lol
>>273440267yeahI wonder if the titles are connected too47: Kaminaka Shino68: Monster
>>273440281>that blushs/he likes it
>>273440574expected
>>273440574I knew it
so is shimazaki behind it?
>>273440691Hey that baby... is one of the clones right?
>>273440691OH SHIT I WASN'T EXPTECTING THAT
>>273440691wtf whose head is that
>>273440691Everyone's first thought will be "What the fuck." But that's basically what Nata is.
>>273440814>it is not going to suck itself
>>273440869NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MY BOY
>>273440765its gross and creepy if the head is visible!also it doesn't seem to be intelligent like Nata. the sfx is either clicking or twitching
>>273440869RIP cute boy
>>273440933make a baby out of desparation c'mon
>>273440869RIP. I thought for sure that Sakuya was the first to go.
>>273440691He looks happy.
>>273440691Well, I wasn't expecting that
>>273440869FUCK
>>273440869she's surprised Mako grew extra nipples
>>273441563ahahaha ok that's pretty funnyalso>In order to solve the mystery of the missing issue and birthmark, Mimura Manaka travels to Izukunoe Island.
>>273441563Thanks for the raws
>>273441563Thank you for the dump
I tried to replicate the bloody pamphlet Kiruko found... Still haven't tried to look into it in detail, but since TL anon will show up here eventually, let us see if it is worth to dig deeper
>>273441835For reference
>>273441835it's not the same as the one in ch 26?
>>273441963yes, its the same. I was wondering if the blood splotches change how the text is read (think the text that is covered isn't read). who knows.>picI have changed stuff since this version, more interestingly the fact that Ishiguro has confirmed for how long Maru and Kiruko are together since before the first chapter we've seen them in. It was just a month
>>273440869RIP... or not ? Did she cut his head and trasnfer it into the robot to save him?
>>273442124you mean the body still turned even though the head is missing?I do wonder why Maru didn't feel his hiruko sense with natabot.You could say his hirukosense isn't developed yet while he was with Mikura...
>>273442201I honestly don't remember if we know that his body turned into an hiruko, it's just that both reveals happen in the same chapter + the director has some experience on brain transfer already + she would be crazy enough to pull it off
>>273442368we already met mako's hiruko.
>>273442201I don't think the head is Mako's but I do think that the hiruko core is located in the heart, so Maru wouldn't be able to sense a head or brain transferred onto another body.
>>273442681The spider kinda fucks with that idea, since the hear should be on the abdomen. In real spiders ar least anyways...
>>273442820Hiruko aren't really biologically accurate.
was the bot lonely and trying to make others like him? In a dumb, childish way. If the head was sentient, it seemed like a child since it's missing teeth
>>273440748Like a little baby girl
>>273440329She is gonna turn into one.>>273440691wtf, Ishiguro I kneel>>273440869RIP
what if Shimazaki and Baba hooked up and had a baby and their child died.Shimazaki was unable to cope and made a robot baby that he was unable to control?
>>273443853I mean, either him or Kondo must be behind it. But the robot killing other people might have nothing to do with him directly.
>>273443853he would have to keep the body preserved while building the bot, but what if the kid is dead, dead and it's only twitching because of whatever chemical or electrical signals it's getting, like those sushi moving from the onions sauce>>273443920yeah, that's why I added they were unable to control the bot.>inb4 why not make an emergency shutdown button
>>273443998>he would have to keep the body preserved while building the botIf you look at it closely, the robot looks like an independently made robot and the head seems to be a hastily attached component. The jar is simply taped on lol.
>>273444189watching the Martian movie made me think using duct tape everywhere is normal sci fi behavior gomen
>>273444189I also thought that the average robot in TD world were not bipedal (delivery bot, the convenience store bot, takahara). Since this is the first bipedal one we saw, and a few chapters ago Shimazaki was said to be into robot dev, he must have been playing with them.He could've built a bot without the intent to put someone's brain inside it and then suddenly, the need arises later on and had to quickly make the brain container modification
>>273440814>>273440869>>273440933Mako was a good soul. I liked him. I hope he will die with a smile.
>>273440933>THAT'S THE DISEASE THAT KILLED TARAO NOOOOOOOO>so are you sucking it or should I ask Sakuya?
>>273446053
>>273440691What the fuck.
>>273440765So is Meena but neither are that visceral.>>273442201It reminds me of how Usami was trying to keep Mimihime alive by chopping off her limbs. But this time it worked because the head was separated from the body.
>>273447200>It reminds me of how Usami was trying to keep Mimihime alive by chopping off her limbs. But this time it worked because the head was separated from the body.oh no its mako mikura baby that developed the disease and mikura begged shimazaki to save it! jk
finally tengoku time the wait is always so long when ishiguro skips a month
>>273444643Chapter 42 page 25 there's another biped robot named Tetsuda, the same name as the one written on the child robot's torso
>>273440691>>273440869fuck man, what a way to resolve that double cliffhanger from last chapter

>>273448699tetsuda seems to be a rare/new model.wonder how the toddlerbot's creator managed to grab hold of one.maybe the so the toddlerbot's maker lacked proper tools to modify tetsuda since they're in a post apocalyptic world and have to make do with the tapes..as for whom, i can only think of takahara staff..>>273449169nata death flag?
>>273449228>I can't find anything unusual in reading the text that isn't coveredThanks, I wanted to dig into it, but having someone who actually is able to read is easier. Thanks you for the TL as well as always anon.

>>273449228>becomes more and more of a woman>also gets weakerbravo Ishiguro
>>273440765people were caught off guard because they are expecting the twist that it's a robot. We got jumpscared by the toddler head

And that's it. I certainly didn't expect a child's head in a jar.The parallel between Kiruko's weakness and Mako's disease was definitely intentional but is it just another red herring? Read Soremachi
>>273451408I was thinking about that too.Could love be a trigger? Maru loves Kiruko.. Oh no!or could it be the sudden hormones when they reach puberty? Mako, Tarao is in that age..Kiruko is getting hormones after Kiriko's body was activated by Maru's kiss..
>>273451486Mako is a hermaphrodite and finally feeling low in xir cycle
>>273451408>>273449228Thanks>>273451516Except he is not.

NTRbros/SEAniggerchads... we're back.
One of the legends of how Satori came to be is that they're the child incarnations of mountain gods who have come to ruin and turned into a yōkai form.
>>273452659Ishiguro can't help himself. He always has to add another layer.
>>273451066What the fuck is that thing
typeset so fast today I kneel
>>273449228>>273451408really appreciate that we always get a quality instant translation of the new chapters, thank you
>>273449220is this theory still possible? It's been so long that i forgot if it got debunked.
>>273451066Seeing these human experiments really fucked with Kiruko in this arc.
>>273458297No, that was debunked back in the Anjulous arc.
>>273451408>Who could I love anyways?>Someone who's special and that has always been there for you...>You mean... Robin?
>>273451408I predicted it being a robot of some sorts but did not expect the child head strapped to it sasuga Ishiguro one step ahead as always I see.
why does the OP feel the need to spam jap pages on /a/ 7h before eng chapter is outgod just kill everyone itt
I think it's pretty clear Kiruko x Maru is going to happen but will they get a happy ending? I think there's a decent chance that one or both of them might die.
>>273461106grow up kid
>>273461795they'll both die but [redacted] will salvage their brains, stitch them together, and put the new composite brain in a new body
Reminder that the Daily Soremachi guy is doing an Ishiguro Q&A again
>>273461795I think only Maru will die but Kiriko will live with a newfound sense of purpose (whatever that will end up being). Technically she's still on the escort/bodyguard job but has been with Maru so long she's gotten attached and possibly developed feelings for him. She hasn't really done anything for herself or figured out what she wants to do with their newfound life. The manga has already teased Kiriko coming into her own as a new person (no longer seeing herself as Haruki in his sisters body and accepting it as her own) and I think this will all culminate in her figuring out what she actually wants to do (at the unfortunate expense of losing Maru in the process).
>>273451066that babu head looks like a Jamie Hewlett drawingvery Gorillaz esque
>>273451066I AIN'T HAPPYI'M FEELIN' GLAD
Ishiguro likes these video gamey panels when Kiruko is making plans. It got me thinking a Tengoku game would be fun.
>>273465840There was one, but the server for it got shut down last year.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V_WmgQBHsik
>>273466630Nice JRPG boss
>>273466665Oh yeah, I remember that. He plays a lot of rpgs so I wonder if he wants to make one too.
>>273463822>Technically she's still on the escort/bodyguard job but has been with Maru so long she's gotten attached and possibly developed feelings for him.They've been together for a little over 2 months now. Seems to be true though.
