As she settles into her role as the neighborhood boss, Shamiko wants to know more about magical girls, demons, and the town itself. But while she struggles to bring up the topic to Momo, Ogura-san is suddenly launched into another dimension!59th-66.5th Street: >>287878272
67th Street: Adrift in Space-Time?! Operation: Rescue Ogura-san!!
68th Street: Sudden Changes?! Spot the Difference in Another World!
>>287958203Wait what. She's a demon?
>>287958233How the fuck did she get a gun
And that's all for today! Shamiko and Momo need to identify all the bad ends they avoided in their journey so far. It's an extreme game of spot the difference.What alternate universes have you avoided?
>>287958250Wait didn't ogura get sucked in without glasses? Is that the other dimensions ogura?
>>287958249Always wasAny character in this story could easily be a delmon, and you'd never know. Everyone who seems slightly strange.
>>287958249oGUra SIONIt's always been hiding in plain sight
A rule in demonology that many demons need to hide their true name in their false name.Asase-senseiAzael-senseiIts always who you least expect
>>287958203Interesting, Ito made a Call of Cthulhu reference before and this sure sounds like being "lost in time and space," a concept that comes up in some of the Lovecraft mythos games. (I don't remember if it's in CoC, it's definitely in Arkham Horror though.)
>Me laughing that most of the demon puns require the japanese reading order for anyone to have caught them, but for some reason the wiki and other english sources all reverse the name order because they're autistic about being Americanized, so no one could get the puns if they tried.
>>287958216>a once proud magical girl completely and utterly shami whipped
>>287958233Ryo is a good sister.And Mikan wearing black? Unusual. Wonder what she was up to.>>287958281She's a good familiar!
>>287958176>the jar is dying off>but the box and the staff can do emergency repairsWhat are they gonna do, double sacrifice Joshua? And why would Momo be opposed to any of this?
>>287958272So in another timeline, Lico got cucked.
>>287959516The ark of the covenant; within it are the original ten commandments, the pot of mana, and Aaron's rod. Almost every item appears in the story, although they're rarely ever referred to directly
>>287958672There isn't anyone who seems strange in this Machikado Next Door manga of ours. No such character at all.
>>287958292I kind of want to see devil momo in a more detailed artstyle
>>287959650What, the random orange box is the ark of the covenant now?
>>287959703Notice the Jewish words on the box, translate it
>>287958203>the barrier collapsing will just wipe out the whole familyWell that's a time bomb
>>287959683This town is a safe heaven for demons, so I think its safe to say every NPC you see might be a demon.Yes even the dog walker lady
>>287958719She even signed her name as Gu-Sion when she drew Ugallu's magic circuit diagram on a wall at the end of vol 4>>287959703presumably less a matter of what the box was originally, and more that containing certain things will qualify you for being the ark of the covenant
Why does Shamiko look so surprised?
In the second chapter there's another girl in the classroom besides Anri, Shamiko, and OguraThis is obviously suspicious, even her face is covered up
>>287960017and these two are up to something dastardly. I just know it!
>english title
>>287958233>croquetteYou just know that one's Anri's
>>287960286He's also posting the localized american version of the story, so it fits
Volume 6....the final volumeand we're already halfway through it
>>287960179https://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm39917754
>>287958292Thanks OPGod that costume is sex>What alternate universes have you avoided?Don't we all wish to know
>>287958292The one where I'm a normalfag.
>>287958749Is Joshua really a demon name?
>>287960852That would get into some much deeper lore
The most suspicious character in the series is easily this one right here.
>>287961387Who is sheWhere did she go?
>>287958719How fitting for her
>>287958250Shami's shamis must be heavy
>>287958280Scary
>>287958292Thanks OP The good endings
>>287960852It's Jewish, so yes
>>287958191easy to forget ryo's an even bigger crybaby than shamiko
>>287958310you're a smart demon
>>287960017>inb4 it's that fourth fan club member
>>287962461She's fakingShe only does it around momoAround Shami she acts normal
>>287962938She's basically acting like a helpless scared child around momo to manipulate her into helping Ogura She respects her sister too much to put on the same act when they're aloneSecond they go back near momo she puts on the crying act again
>>287958280>Momo's just casually offering bread to another girl right in front of her girlfriend
https://x.com/i/status/2052659808348815823
>>287962938she started crying when she was alone with the fish
>>287963670That's just eye juice
>>287963664Do the Japanese still love Shamiko?
>>287958154Her eyes are up there, Momo.
>>287958226Ouch At least he still here
>>287958226It's funny that Ryoko's solution is essentially the same one as Shamiko's (but more 3 kingdom)>>287958216
>>287959683Yeah no close friends who who surprising light on family and business
>>287958236Happy Shamiween>>287958263That could be anyone's orange tree!>>287958292RGB MomoThanks OP>What alternate universes have you avoided?The satisfying career universe and the too much plastic surgery universe
>>287964171Great minds think alike.That is why their descendant in the far future who is also a brainy demon does what he can to keep solidarity in the ranks too.
>>287958191Shamiko's power is growing exponentially
>>287958719I don't get it
>>287958233I like how the fan translation makes it clear how Uga got all the items wrong because they sound similar
>>287958176Any time anyone holds a book open at all in this series Itou actually did write a bunch of random stuff on it
>>287958184>the speech bubble doesn't go out the tankheh
>>287965943love this furry retard
>>287965965>400g steak for 800yenThat's actually pretty good value.>buttocksHow do you rate buttocks on strength?
>>287965812Gusion (also Gusoin, Gusoyn, Augusyon) is a strong Great Duke of Hell, and rules over forty legions of demons. He tells all past, present and future things, shows the meaning of all questions that are asked to him, reconciles friends, and gives honour and dignity. He is depicted as a baboon or according to some, in the form of a "Xenopilus.
>>287958292Super genius itooooooo! Such an outfit stands out all the more because of how flowy and cute outfits in this series are otherwise.
>>287966286I see. I never once heard of that demon's name.
>>287963664new Ito-supervised art...that hair-over-ear Momo is very cute (they're all cute of course, but)
>>287963664Dare I say STACKED
>>287958292>gamer RGB womb tattooIncredible
>>287966286She always has been pretty knowledgeable. Shami better do her best to get her top advisor back
>>287965965Ito-sama sure is a character...
>>287966793You can't understand machikado mazoku without reading the Bible and Ars Goetia
I am finding some gems from the First Shamiage
It may be completely asexual in nature, and largely played for laughs, but this still feels super racy for me, for a Kirara manga
>>287972024It's just her teenage daughter It's normal
>>287972121Why did Mikan put a smiley-censor on her daughter's face?
>>287972152Doesn't want to dox her
>>287972152A good mama doesn't post her child online
>>287972218>>287972298And yet she told the world wide kiraranet that she's now a virgin mama and posts a picture of herself along her furry daughter. Curious.
>>287972491Most people probably think she's just grooming a kid she found and makes her call her mamaOr she got teen pregnant and didn't know the father
>allowing the thread to die
>>287970926Are we sure that Shamiko also isn't a mazoku descended from cows?
>>287974231Just like the author xirself.
The more I reread this manga the more I can see foreshadowing for incredibly grim things in the future.
It's not that yuuko is small. It's just that momo is an euro.
>>287974494Shamisheep
Anime Mikan's transformation makes me thirsty for a Fanta.
>>287975018I like her theme for her henshin but I can't find the OST for S2 anywhere.
>>287974511>xirselfsomeone is having a stroke
>>287976053
>>287975018
>>287977428Grapefruit is actually nice to eat that way, never understood the cut in half and eat with a spoon thingYou gotta get rid of the pith though, it's super bitter
Today's Shamichapter might be a little Shamilate
I'm just happy if we get it Momoventually
>>287978338It's Shamistandable. Looking for Ogura takes a lot of time
>>287978338>Op get infected with all of its problems Rip
Um... You Mikan do it OP?!
Ganbare ShamiOP! Become an OP who dumps on time.

>>287979434How lewd
69th Street: A Demon in Trouble?! The Shocking Truth!
70th Street: The Identity of the Mysterious Girl with Glasses, Revealed!
And that's all for today! Gusion revealed a lot of lore today. Things aren't as simple as they seemed.Do you like to discover the mysteries of the world?
>>287981563
>>287981601So was yuuko just in the hospital so much she doesn't remember gusion or is something fucking with her memories
>>287981628>Lots of people fade in this townI don't like that statement. Does this have something to do with her not being remembered as living next to shamiko?
>>287981563megane gosenzo is cute
>>287981632Greatest weakness of official translation is the phrasing. Even though the words are similar, the meaning doesn't' come across the same.
>>287982153It sounds like Guison-chan's something like a ghost that's resolving their issues in that world, and thus is fading when things align closer to the "super" reality Momo and Shami come from.Probably some kind of demon energy transference or non-physical reproduction since she's probably right under the og Ogura as she fades post-clean up.
>>287982153Other translation said "invisible people", don't know what's closer. Although anyone that read the later chapters has an idea what it means already
>>287981601This world saving unrelated to the stuff with Suika right? She talked about being carried by allies in that incident while she was basically solo for the Suika mess.
>>287982515Who knows, most of her memories were slightly rewritten anyway.
In hindsight, I think the biggest marker that gave away Guison-chan was that she has a resting smug face. Unlike low spec Ogura
>>287981557Ugalu is smart, she memorized her mama's phone number
I hope Mikan's papa and mam do get to meet their soulless granddaughter
>>287983372Mikan-ba will probably have some pointed questions for her husband if he recognizes Ugalu's name.
>>287981639Thanks OPHigh-spec Ogura moves with more sense of purpose compared to low-spec Ogura's no sense of right and wrongI miss her already
>>287983372I wonder if They will point out that her father is essentially the papa
>>287981538tummyrub detected!
>>287982515When Shamiko first sees Momo at school, Anri tells her Momo is famous for saving the world. I don't think Momo would talk about the Suika incident to anyone, and nobody else would've known about it.
>>287958258The new washing machine implies that shamiko's family do not live there anymore.
>>287981615Cute girlfriends
>>287981623Don't tell me what to do, TL
>>287981639What a tragedy we're going to hit the hiatus soon with things getting so interesting Anyway thank OP I do, and I devote myself to learning all I can about the Truth
>>287981619>I heard a cute screamDude, just kiss already
>>287984287Anri is known to exagerate
So what exactly is Ogura then? Is she a descendent of Gusion like Shamiko is to Lilith or is she some kind of artificial construct? I think the explanation went over my head
>>287984287Anri either knows subconsciously considering she'd also still have traces of the meat shop incident in her head. Alternatively there are just lots of world killer bosses roaming around on the world map.
>>287985856Ogura is "1 page" of Gusion's book, but it is different from Metako being one of the many eyes of Metatron.It's hard to explain without spoilers, as up to this point these last 2 chapters hold all the clues.These Shamidaily threads are so hard for lorefags because we were going wild during the rolling release.
>>287985856You'll find out soon enough but the answer is Gusion broke off a bit of herself before Suika burnt her alive in the library. This piece is Ogura and she didn't manage to get any memories from Gusion and just got an instruction to seek out and protect the horned demon. From there Ogura's just kind of grown up working out what exactly she is and building a knowledge base from scratch.
>>287985903yeah we theorize a lot that Anri seems like the hidden puppetmaster, but all along she seems sincere. Maybe it's her brothers inside her head that's steering her unconsciously.
>>287982515Momo's likely talking about a different incident. She also likely didn't think Suika was gonna literaly wipe the world blank and nopt just the rest of her town.This specific one can only refer to her because it's a parallel world resulting from actions within the scope of Sakura's barrier's fate manipulation
>>287984583Or it just means Lilith finally bullied someone into buying a decent washer once the curse lifted. Shamifam upgrading from “held together by demonic spite” appliances doesn’t automatically mean they moved out. If anything, them still being in that crusty apartment but with one suspiciously new appliance feels very on-brand.Besides, if they’d actually left, you know 4koma would’ve milked the emotional “empty room” shot way harder.
>>287985856Like the current piccolo to demon king picollo
>>287985856Asking for spoilers at this point might be a bad idea since people at this point of the story are practically jumping to give spoilers. Things will be revealed
>>287986969>people at this point of the story are practically jumping to give spoilers.This! This! The deep lore and foreshadowing accelerates like a rocket starting this volume. We wanna see all the neophytes get their minds blown at seeing just how big the iceberg really is.
Yeah, if you're a first timer, it's probably best to just wait and see. We aren't too far from the "end" now.
>>287987359>"end"RIP.Would give her my life power if I could.
I am glad Ito found a husband. I hope she finds a friend.But having done it myself, moving from the city to the countryside will only make your depression worse if you're already depressed.
>>287987478Pretty sure she was married way before the first anime. She actually manages to be private outside the times she gets cocky, goofs up and spills her spaghetti out to the public.
I can’t believe we’re nearly at the end and there’s still no end to the hiatus in sight
