Ch. 23: Aono-kun's Place to Return (Part 2)
Chapter end.Siblings, am I right?
>>290645583Ghosts, no sense of right or wrong
How many chapters do this have in total, and is it really finished? Last chapter I found was 65.
>>29064725274 chapters in total. I ripped the last two volumes myself and am holding them hostage.Also somebody else uploaded them on nyaa already
>>290647332Thank you for the info and thank you for your work then. It's just that these threads aren't really fun to follow daily: mostly dead with the occasional troglodite posting the same "uohh child erotic" as everywhere else on this board.
>>290647522It's alright, anon. My goal is to make more people read this manga, so if you've shown interest then I've already won. You're welcome to drop in any time you feel like it, just if you decide to read ahead, take care to avoid posting spoilers if possible
>>290647852Wait, is this art by Vinland saga's mangaka?
>>290645583can't argue with that
>>290645610when in doubt, always imagine what would mio do in your situation
>>290645675yeah he's definitely on the spectrum
>>290649560He just doesn't give a shit about social norms (that's a good thing)
>>290647522>uohh child eroticAre they wrong though?
>>290652223I always thought the kids' parents?? had great fashion sense
>>290647852>I wish I could make them touchI agree
>>290647522It's a fascinating read so far (thanks >>290647852!), characters that feel a lot realler than most, being appropriately teenage stupid and, yes, horny as I remember being, nice art and the comedic and double-entendre timings are very on point. It feels like an accelerating spiral deeper and deeper into whichever madness it's going, to the point I actually find myself humming Ravel's Bolero to it.I just don't have a great deal to say, other than making wisecracks and, again, thanking OP for the storytime. It's hoping for introductions and discoveries just like this that keep me here.
>>290648279It is. All the cool kids are reading Aono-kun
Sometimes it feels like the author is copy+pasting the faces
>>290657087I knew about Fujimoto's fanart for the series, it's actually how I first discovered Aono-kun, but I had not idea that Yukimura also drew art for it. That's pretty cool.
>>290645567>Aono-kun hates me so badly he wants to kill me>>290645721His hair really is getting longer and longer.
>>290645604>>290645610WWMD (What Would Mio Do)
>>290645486Ty op
>>290645610>>290645619>not blushing and sweating profuselyNot my Mio.
>>290660953the what now?
>>290668623A bunch of artists and mangaka did fanart of this series, including some big names. All(?) 14 of them are included at the end of the last volume but I'm slowly sharing the ones that no longer contain spoilersFujimoto>>290080956Tsurumaikada (Medalist author)>>290340509Misaki Takamatsu (Skip and Loafer)>>290616102
>>290669696>Tsurumaikada >Fujimoto>Takamatsu>YukimuraIt's nice seeing mangaka I like drawing stuff for a manga I love, thank you so much for sharing them alongside the storytime OP.
Ch. 24: Aono-kun's Secret
Chapter end.I bet that aquarium visit would have gone differently if they were sisters instead. The aftermath, at least.
>>290672791>>290672803To continue with my spread page autism, Umi Shiina often does this. Again, not a spread per se, but in my opinion a holistic page nonetheless.
>>290673247And the direct followup. Cool little sequence
And one from volume 3 that I forgot to point out. One of my favorite romantic moments in the series
>>290672791She'll just cross any line you draw. Can't tell her anything but lies.
>>290672621That's worse than walking garbage.
>>290672874She knows how her kid's games work. That's an uncommon level of involvement.
>>290672621To be fair he was a really annoying kuso gaki.
>>290672903Is there even a single functional family in this manga?
>>290672572the fuck is wrong with this kidin fact why is every family member in this manga a nuthead
>>290672678lmao what the fuckthis manga is so silly
>>290672841wait a minute... that silhouette...
>>290672572
>>290676944They don't make those anymore. Slows down consumption.
>>290676944In real life also the most interesting things happens to the people doing stupid or self destructive stuff and that is mostly detrimental rarely brings positive stuff... From what has been shown, so far seems their dad died from disease and the mother was overwhelmed by grief, left alone with two kids and in some way psychologically abusing aono giving him an inappropriate place as a substitute for the dad listening to the whole load of troubles of mom; her work struggles, money, loneliness, etc. Aono grandparents as far we know might been aware of the mother struggles and took one kid because seemed the most helpless and aono stood with the mom. The people that grow up in similar circumstances tend to have the same patterns in relationships, things that fujimoto noticed, rarely can say no and tend to attract as he said the crazies, or somewhat vulnerable partners. Yuri fitted too well in that pattern. So far i can't figure out if the household of yuri mirrors aono in some ways, the sister seem to have her own circumstances, an absent father, most likely a salaryman while the mother enable the sister for complicated reasons, maybe also emotional abuse taking the place of the late elder brother.
>>290677603Fuck I didn't notice that until you pointed it out
>>290672918How does this keep getting more unhinged?
>>290683778Editor with no ego, author with influential fans and dirty laundry to air by proxy. Should be good.
>>290684110>>290683778Also woman.A lot of this reminds me of western women stories where everyone is just needlessly cruel for no reason
>>290675564This generation of parents actually had games growing up and is tech literate.
>>290685174They had games in the 80s. Grandmothers are tech literate. But bothering to learn what their kids are even playing and how the platform works is like learning their friends' names. Easily ignored until trouble arises.
>>290685466Mom looks late 20s to early 30s which means she was born around 1990 or later so grew up with home consoles and handheld and then smartphones in college. I'd expect her to know about specs and read Amazon reviews before buying.Her grandma would be from early 70s and already a teen when home gaming got popular. She'd know about games, but this is the generation that would buy whatever for their kids.
>>290684491What I like about this story is that there are very few "evil" people, you can ultimately see where everyone is coming from. Like Hiroto's mom is an easy case. She's not necessarily a bad parent and the family can survive the tragedy. She lost a son and she understands she can't blame her other kid for it but it's hard to keep it together. So when she sees Hiroto talking to his dead brother, from her perspective it makes perfect sense to lose it a bit, because she thinks her last remaining son is going crazy and it's partly her fault
>>290686124Harder to take down a flesh golem made of innocents and remain one. The real horror is building slowly.
>>290672504hnnnng
>>290672599sound logic
>>290672841jesus
bump
>>290672918Thank you for posting!
>>290688813Ok ok
Ch. 25: Sota-kun's New Friend
So does she ever die?
Chapter end.Look at Yuri, tardwrangling her schizo boyfriend. Pretty cool, huh? Time for some ghostbusting.
>>290696807Thanks OP.
>>290696564>>290696717I like how this is kind of reverse Mieruko-chan where you know they're seeing something bad but it's never really shown
>>290645500I Want to Aono So Badly Hold-kun I Could Die
>>290696315>>290696424Fujimoto deserves a girlfriend. He's such a good wingman.
>>290696759Smug Yuri is good.
>>290696807Been meaning to ask for a little while now, OP. Did you get any physical copies of Aono? I was able to find digital ones, but if possible I'd like to buy physical ones. If you don't mind letting me know.
>>290696299Cuties. Too bad they got sucked into this ghost shit.
>>290696485She got the ick

>>290696807Thank you for posting.

>>290696424>and by close friends I mean like you and AonoMio...
>>290701335Not that anon, but he's kinda whiny and he's hiding stuff.>>290705901>likeShe still has an outside chance.

one last dance
Let's move on to volume 6
This is one of the longer story arcs, we'll be ghost busting for a while
Ch. 26: Yotsukubi-sama 1
>>290721406So now the thing wearing his personality like a finger puppet to eat humans is just hanging out.
>>290721470t-thanks
>>290721663mio-chan is the cutest operator
Chapter end.To nobody's surprise, it's not quite going as planned. Exorcisms are best left to trained professionals.
>>290721796mio...
>>290721630Ok, we're full Jason Goes to Hell now. Their mom is probably gonna get that gross Warlock II rapid pregnancy, just so Sota can have a body. She may or may not explode.
>>290721858:o I love yuri i hope after this she never deals with another ghost ever.
>>290721559Her WIS stat went up from her experiences.>>290721796She literally told you not to let the door close.>>290721826Actually got me to backtrack to check when they disappeared.Poor Yuina got taken away early and everyone acted like she wasn't there to begin with.
>>290721535Aono looks so happy, lol
>>290696381Wow Fujimoto gets all the girls
>>290721570She can call for you...
>>290721858Thanks, OP.Have a nice Sunday.
>>290721826Holy FUCK! That was good. They got me. I legitimately did not notice.
>>290721848When will Mio be out in the field with everyone else directly meeting ghosts face to face?
>>290735006When she inherits an old vhs camcorder.
Looking closely it seems Yuina disappeared when they entered the room >>290721547 and Nozomi when they went out >>290721773
>>290736472>yep, there goes the first kid
>>290721858Thank you for posting, OP.

>>290721470Helpful!
>>290735006hopefully neverI want her cozy and safe
>>290738349I wonder if she talks to ghosts when she tries to call the hospital, or if the ghosts are making the receptionist hallucinate their job then forget it.
>>290721355Ominous cover>>290721858Thanks, OP
>>290738316Cultured and based anon.

Ch. 27: Yotsukubi-sama 2
Chapter end.Poor Yuri just can't help herself and now she looks like a white rabbit.
>>290752566Albinos have seen ghosts. There more you know
>>290752425>>290752439This is another of those pages that I consider spreads, though the imageboard format makes it flow rather nicely as well
>>290752220our guy fujimoto!
>>290752273>please be patient i have autism
>>290752406FUUUUUUUUCK
mio-chan was useless...
>>290752827She's trying her best, ok?
>>290752406Holy fuck, she is such an idiot.
>>290752497>>290752541Man, I feel bad for Aono.
>>290754363
>>290755069kek, I actually laughed. Nice one anon.
>>290747916>she is basically a boyYeah, my boywife
>>290752566Thank you for posting.
>>290725223>Poor Yuina got taken away early and everyone acted like she wasn't there to begin with.Even though Yuina was gone they talked about her so your mind filled in her missing presence. That was clever.
>>290645486Thx
Dark Aono's mouth is unnerving
>>290763546He's doing a Wallace and Grommet.
>>290752171Finally reading now. I know this chapter will be a good one.
wholesome sex with Yuina bump
>>290755069heh good
>>290752254Bro this is difficulty 10 for a shut in introvert.>>290752317Does Skype not have a mute indicator? I guess with the stress Yuri forgot to check and she couldn't have guessed Mio would let them down.

Aono-kun, take my hands so I can bump this thread.
>>290772353As someone that also has mommy issues, I completelly get her.
Now that we've passed this chapter, I can finally post this art by Hiro Kiyohara
Ch. 28: Yotsukubi-sama 3
Chapter end.Lots of regrets today.
TL note:Sange, sange, rokkon shojo is a mountain monk purification chant.
This is delightfully eerie.
>>290779793ooooh, so that's what it means! thanks, the english version could at least put a note at the end of the volume like the usually do for '' obscure'' things like honorifics or what the hell is a weird karaoké box
>>290779554>>290779569>>290779581>>290779593>>290779608Fujimoto is a good dude and a good friend.
>>290780870If only he didn't make CSM part 2 so boring...
>>290779439
>>290779239What a pitiful creature.>>290779253Ok, I'm not even sure what expression this is meant to convey.
>>290780465It was more important to have notes for the cotton candy and choco banana stalls.
>>290779697Thanks, OP.>>290782213If I had to guess, self-hatred.
>>290782213>Ok, I'm not even sure what expression this is meant to convey.As the other anon said, self-hatred mixed with frustration and anger over not being able to do something so simple like going outside to help her own friend.
>>290780870I hope he and Mio have good endings because they never asked for any of this.Yuri is whatever.
>>290779239useless
>>290779282is aono... you know...
>>290779439uh oh
>>290779554ah yes, perfect time to talk about this
>>290645567>>290645604>>290645627>>290645635Teppei had some really lewd expressions there; if it weren't for the situation, I would have gotten a boner,>>290779697Thanks, Op, I've finally caught on. I love the spontaneous comedy, and the story is great.Yotsukubi kinda reminds me of the story in The Summer Hikaru Died; it even features a black-haired teen with a mole under his eye. Come to think of it, Tomie also has one; I wonder if there is a connection between having moles and the paranormal of the lewd kind.
>>290779569>liking the nutcase what the fuck is wrong with you
>>290783021Wouldn't want Aono to keep harboring dark thoughts.
>>290779697thanks for the dump, this arc has been my favorite one so far
>>290779371Well shit.
>>290779485So many branching bad ends.
>>290779618Chess rules. The queen can travel until she meets enemies, and can destroy one to take it's place.
>>290780055I wonder how long until it escalates beyond that.
>>290783026I think it might just be that moles are generally considered sexy.
>>290779217What does that mean?
>>290780465To be fair, Mio will mention it by the end of the volume. But it's like one passing remark and I completely forgot about it as well, with how the release schedule has been
>>290788765You're a nut! You're crazy in the coconut!
>>290779152Very sexy child.
>>290790064That boy needs therapy.
>>290779608aw
>>290791637Half of the cast should go to therapy honestly
>>290792743fujimoto is the only normal one
>>290787541Yes!
>>290779569Mio...
So where is the obligatory nipponese government agency dealing with all that spooky shit?
>>290794046>normal oneMaybe if your reference frame is Emiya Shirou and Yugami-kun
>>290799171okay, so what about '' fujimoto is the least insane character out there'' ?
>>290791637It's psychosomatic
Ch. 29: Yotsukubi-sama 4
