Chapter 156: Despite It Allhttps://mangaplus.shueisha.co.jp/viewer/1028541Things are heating up! And we get a nice color page this month.
That's it for this month. No date listed for next chapter on MangaPlus, so it'll probably be another break month.
thanks for the dump
>>287823640maiden in love...
new season when?
supposedly there are only a couple chapters left. Wonder how it will end.
>>287823833Damn, it really will end soon
>>287823489Tvym for posting and staying the course, anon. I'm absolutely fucking hyped, it's confusing as fuck why the anons disappeared as it git gud but I'm glad there are still four of us here, better than zero.
>>287823489Is this still goin on? Or is this a re read thread?
>>287829267Latest chapter. Link in OP will get you the first three and latest three chapters.
By the way, can anyone spoonfeed where to get decent scans now that batotopotato went down?
>>287823510>Yuichiro intends to sacrifice himself...So, is she wrong? Or was Yuu lying to Mika/himself when he said he'd sacrifice no one?
this will just turn out to be connected to Itsuka tenma no kurousagi lolz
>>287829836Yuu's plan is to essentially finish the First's plan and blow up Paradise the fuck up.I think he's vaguely aware that it's probably going to work, but there's a possibility of backlash regardless and he would be the one to take the punishment.
I really love how Yuu's plan is to take everything for the best ending.Fuck all this naturefaggotry 'wahh we shouldnt be bringing the dead back to life' fuck you if it's possible then we should do it. If we can bring the dead back to life then all other problems are small beans by comparison.Shoot for the moon, (Yuu) crazy bastard
>>287829957Is that a Kagami multiverse? Please explain, anon.
>>287823510oh damn he killed guren?i shouldnt have just jumped into a thread like that
>>287831006probably not but will likely be similar? At least the vibes seem similar but Itsuka was better it's was "reset" of sorts of ending there they managed to revive everyone in the multiverse and fix shit too >>287831295It was kinda of a pathetic death desu
>>287831295>open /a/>owari no seraph thread right at the top>"damn he killed guren?"Well shit, I got spoiled too. Maybe deserved for being an anime-only secondary.>>287831374>It was kinda of a pathetic death desuThat sucks.
Might as well post here to push the spoilers up a bit.
>>287831508Post fake spoilers so speedreaders don't know what's real or not. Example:
YUU AND SHINOA HAD SEXKAGAMI YOU MADMAN
>>287832030we seriously got Shinoa creampie before yaoihands kabedonYuuchads winning NON FUCKING STOP
>>287832055>>287832030he has done JK arriage and sex before, trust the plan this time too
>>287831295Don't worry about it. Guren's development leading up to it was more significant than the event itself. Trust me, I jumped in late to the series and it's plenty enjoyable catching up.
>>287831485No, Guren deserved to go out pathetic.
>>287830408I'm not hyoed at all. Everyone is talking in circles about how they should totally deserve to be the sacrifice and beating up X to save humanity but no one is saying how that's gonna happen. Lots of empty promises and I Dunno lol these last chapters
>>287832055Yuuchad is right after what he did to LacusO MY VIVISECTION
>>287830278>I think he's vaguely aware that it's probably going to workIs he, or is he just putting a brave face on probable lovers' suicide? Every time I think Yuu's worldview is subversively simple I realize I still don't really get it.
>>287832271well yeah it literally doesn't make sense they haven't even had direct contact with God ir knows anything about it, yett they are assuming they are going to sucesfully destroy the paradise and God and ressurect everyone with no actual good reason
Gonna comment on the last few chapters since I'm pretty sure I missed those threads.Chapter 154: Yoichi's Sisterhttps://mangaplus.shueisha.co.jp/viewer/1027820https://desuarchive.org/a/thread/285796934/#285796934I like how a freckled loli hugging her little brother and whispering one sentence … because, Yoichi, they aren't our real parents manages to horror-house the setting with zero onscreen blood or gore.
>>287829594Damn how old is this series by now? I remember watching this in middle school
>>287833440You've got no idea lil' gup
>>287833440>Damn how old is this series by now?Started in September 2012, same year the world ended in-universe, series is set in 2016>I remember watching this in middle schoolUnderagers would explain some of the hilarious in hindsight shitposting of the anime airing threads.
>>287833367Fuck what the "lol wut I can't keep up" goldfish say, Kagami gut punches his twists. Satisfying emotional hit.I reread the early chapters not that long ago, thought Yoichi's "revenge for my dead sister" backstory was kind of cliché, and liked that the narrative immediately challenged it.>Yuu going "lame bro forget it" right away>Yoichi supposedly failing the demon challenge for not having a strong enough revenge drive>dead sister put on back burnerStill seemed like kind of an emotional dead end storyline - until this chapter. Good payoff.
>>287833015It was also foreshadowed right from the start, like everything else (the "umm asspull" crowd are telling on themselves). Can't remember the details but there were plenty of hints that there was more that was "off" magically Yoichi (totally unaffected by Cursed Gear testing unlike literally everyone else, weirdly easy bond with Gekkouin paired with ability to suddenly go yandere and dominate him….)
>>287823929Thank you for posting.
>>287834777meant for >>287834674The fanbook 8.5 also said Lacus preferred boys' blood.
Damn wait so Yuu fucked Shinoa? yaoicucks fucking lost goddamn. Shinoa ending confirmed.
>>287823526>Yuichiro is a good boy, but I'm no good girlAnd they said Shinoa smug was dead KEK>I don't give a rat's fluffy bum about the world.Lel, I'd love to know what the original JP says.
>>287835592Yeah, but Mitsuba *technically* got the Yuudick first.
>>287833827>D gray manMan... I don't even know what to say... where did life all go so wrong since those days...
>>287832030>>287832055Wait I haven't read the chapter what
>>287823489This shit is still going? Christ. Are they even any good characters left?
>>287836343shinoa
>>287836273The chapter is literally linked in OP, anon.
>>287823489Is the smuganon who kept coming at me aggressively with THE LESSON OF THIS MANGA IS THAT FRIENDSHIP IS ALL A LIE, LOVE IS FOR SUCKERS still here? I want to laugh in their face and say "fucking told you so".
>>287823489wtf this shit hasnt ended?
>>287823489Beautiful color page. It feels like a nostalgic throwback, somehow.
>>287836782I don't see any sex
>>287837367Start reading here >>287831508
>>287837397did you mean this post out of his ass?>>287832030
slowpoking to last month'sChapter 155: Family & Familyhttps://mangaplus.shueisha.co.jp/viewer/1028540https://desuarchive.org/a/thread/287190507/#287190507Whenever a chapter has Yoichi acting all chaddy, it's uncanny valley territory and paradigms are about to go down.I actually did get kind of jaded from every character going "Why are we alive?" before getting killed off, but holy fuck seeing it's actually going to pay off as a theme got me pumping. Kagami refuting every lazy criticism of his writing.Wonder why he had Yoichi misunderstand and think his sister never existed, feels like something needs to come of that later.
>>287837520It's not just the copycat poses, Yoichi was showing eerily Yuu-like levels of "fuck sanity" unhinged nirvana confidence in Ch155, just like Shinoa was for most of this arc.I think the difference is Yuu's manipulations and masking. Yoichi *is* consciously thinking of how to get Kimizuki to come around to his thinking, but the proposals he presents to Kimizuki are ultimately honest and sincere. Same with Shinoa, just before that.
How the fuck is this still going on?
>>287837740Good writing, good pacing, following through what was set up.
>>287823929Worth the wait, honestly.
>>287837707Yoichi's interminal passivity and apathy being turned deliberately into a badass power play is honestly a brilliant twist in itself.Liked that Kimizuki questioned his imouto's convenient appearance and doesn't really believe Yoichi's reassurance (at least that's how I interpret his "…"), but decides to go ahead anyway, makes the resolution feel a little less twee.
>>287837947>>Mitsuba cooks for her wife>Yuri stays winning.I choose to believe Mitsuba heating up Shinoa's meat is symbolism.Yuu avoiding all Mika's questions about whether he can bring himself to kill his friends or carry out the rest of his plan is an interesting choice.
>>287837740sunk cost>>287837775lol
>>287837511helping spoilerphobes and fucking speedreaders are good causes
>>287823560Trust but verify, eh?Tbdesu, the fact that they have each have some doubts but rely on each other to compensate seems like a win flag.
>>287823602>last chapter: instant flip from save 'em all to let em all die>this chapter: already anticipating wavering resolve and giving advance forgivenessDamn this squad moves fast. Yuu's not the only one a step ahead of himself anymore.
>>287823602curious (is yoichi telling the truth when he says he won't look?)>>287823663curiouser (did shinoa really not know yoichi was peeping or is that a ruse?)
>>287823640These flashbacks are very sweet. They're also basically the opposite of the ~passionate desire~ Sika tried to brew in her, no wonder he failed miserably.
I haven't read this shit in years. Is it now more or less gay than it was previously.
>>287838993>Is it now more or less gay than it was previously.Depends, what was peak gay in the part you read?
>>287839159I think Mika fake died and said he loved Yuu right as he died. Like chapter 60 or something a long time ago but after both anime seasons.
>>287823722>>287823783Team Yuu needed to revert to diaper wetting antics to give the readers a break from Shinoa Squad life-and-death (literally) revelations, I guess.
>>287839169Ah. Then it got a *lot* gayer after you stopped, and not only with Mika and Yuu. No physical kisses or hookups, but the gay is canon.
>>287839203That's surprising because it was already pretty gay. Impressive. I might actually pick it up and read it all when it finishes. I'm surprised its still going honestly. Felt like it would have ended years ago.
>>287839169
>>287839223Indeed, that's the one, I stopped somewhere around there because i can't be assed to keep up with monthly series. I also remember people at the time insisting it was meant in a non gay way.
>>287839215Yeah, standalone chapters are entertaining but you pick up on a lot more when you binge. I'd say you're good to start binge reading now though, it's clearly in its endgame.
>>287839236I'll wait another year or so. surely it will end by then.
>>287839232>I also remember people at the time insisting it was meant in a non gay way.Man, I wish the entertaining no homo copes would come back. The mindbreaks in the threads for 113-120 or so were hilarious, though (as were the threads in general around that time, and not just because of the gayness).
>>287823722Hm. Mika's good suspicious instincts have been emphasized a lot. Is he right about Saito or is this a red herring?
>>287823929This page is giving nostalgic flashbacks to the Moon Demon unit's first battle against Mika-tachi.Heartstrings tugged all chapter, desu.
>>287823783Self-aware cuck
>>287825582>supposedly there are only a couple chapters left.Says who?
>>287832271>Everyone is talking in circles about how they should totally deserve to be the sacrifice and beating up X to save humanityAnon, I think you skipped the last few chapters... or you have shit reading comprehension
>muh gay muh gay muh hecking anal wormsthere's literally nothing gay in owari no seraph you mentally ill freak
shinoa...
>>287839511>there's literally nothing gay except the gay people and their gay feelingsExactly the level of reading I'd expect from someone saying "muh hecking"
>>287841081well other kagami works had pretty gay levels just to end with protagonist married with kids lol
>>287841034will win
>>287841586mitsubabowl
>>287841185Why do people keep saying this? His other works (including Catastrophe at 16) have been straight ecchi with no bones about it.
>>287841034>tempered expectations>wary of overestimating selves and others>cooperation based on genuine belief not blind trust>already got past traumatic shocks (losing Guren, Mahiru and Yuu)Shinoa Squad really has a lot of win flags stocked up. Kagami always has a twist in mind though...
>>287841185Got any examples? I'm SOP but I kind of remember another anon going through his other works one by one and finding nothing but het with close male friendships.
>>287843828was meant for >>287841586
>>287841740Is this a meme or does yuri have a chance
>>287824843with her sister
>>287823489Haven't read this in like two years. Any sign of an ending?
>>287845405Yes, we just entered the final volume so there are only a handful of chapters left.
>>287846267>Yes, we just entered the final volumeWas that confirmed?
>>287845405Guren and Ferid are dead, as are basically all the named vampires.
>>287845405Why did people like you drop it the more based it got?
>>287848260I didn't really drop it, just kind of forgot about it
>>287848545Hope you join us, anon. It's a quick catchup and you'll get mindfucked, in a good way.
mika tops
mika was cuter as a vampire
>>287849230>16 chapters to catch up Sometime soon-ish
>>287850289It's because the uniform suits his sexuality. >Cat ears, bare arms, dark cape = flamboyant slut>Literally buttoned-up uniform, boots, light cape = repressed prude No guesses which one Mika is.
So did Shinoa win or not
>>287852726Series isn't overRead it and find out, is fun and good manga
>>287849278There are things you can't manifest even if you're Mikaela, Yuu.
>>287854895mika has a deeper/commanding voice. the anime isn't definitive, but i feel like it fits.
>>287825129Trust the plan.
>>287856534Isn't Mika compared to a wife though?
