Misogynistic wednesdays are back
>>291317402My favorite time of the week! Oh boy get in lads!
Mikoma is finding the idea of letting Taiki kill Momiji and Roka enticing.Even if he's just horribly jumping to conclusions and believing Momiji's w/ Roka when NuTrolazo is all by himself.
>>291317507PS: not even Kazuya was that psychopath and psychotic about shit that never happened... neither Reiji.
Where is the fucking dump???
Vol. 2 cover revealed.
RAWS doko
Fuck I am losing my mind here. OP really just made the thread and abandoned it.
>>291317571No need for Raws.I am here!
Miko's dense inability to pick up on how much Roka actually hates his gf is crazy
>>291317555Nice, I was wary that she'd reuse her spread art like with the first volume
Mikoma's a fucking nutjob lmao
Chapter 22: Fang
>>291317555The confrontation between Miko and Momiji is going to be biblical. I can't wait for the absolute meltdown between the two.
Yeah, there's no hope for Mikoma.
>>291317602Arigato gozaimasu>>291317538I was trying to get the chapter since I've dumped some of them in the past, but HakuNeko no longer works for me. It's giving me a "geolocked" error for Viz...
>>291317602>no need for rawsuntil we get to the convo with Roka
>>291317643Actually mature of Miko to say this.
>>291317555looking forward to Roka re-arranging her skull with one of Leafbro's cinderblocks
>>291317538Mangaplus is free. You can read every new chapter the instant it drops instead of sitting on /a/ dump begging.
>>291317643But he did believe it.Miko is wrong about everything in this chapter.I was on the fence before but now i know he's an antagonistic force
>>291317643>mask is overcompensatingthe girl and him fugged. or will.
>>291317678Why would I read it alone when I can read it with /a/?
>>291317678Shut up nigga this is an experience reading it with mountain bros but I read there then here
I dont believe taiki is telling him the truth btw
>>291317706Yea, he's simp for a crumb of her pussy if she offered it straight up
>>291317706thats how I feel too, like its some sort of elaborate bait and switch.
>>291317706Nah I trust leafbro, he did not fuck inn cow.
>>291317719AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA DRAW HER NIPPLES RYOU YOU TEASE
>>291317642You probably have an old version. Get the newest one.
>>291317719Yeah, the boy is fucked in the head.
>>291317719>You will never have this.
>>291317706Inn cow ain’t even as hot as his last wife I trust him
Oh shit!
>>291317402first time in 10 weeks I finally arrived in time to enjoy the dump
>>291317761!!!
>>291317761Miko is legit serial killer material.
>>291317706Who the fuck would put on this whole song and dance pretending to hate a woman just so a child wouldn't think you banged her?
>>291317706Miko calling the dog an alpha male, while the old man called him a bitch probably represents Taiki as well
>>291317761Miko needs to be in a psych ward
>>291317719I'm with Miko on this one, with how those 2 treat him he has no reason to believe Roka and Roka himself is playing a weird game of his own with Miko now (granted Miko doesn't know he has a new shitty person turning him into their puppet).
>>291317793>Kid is helping you out with building your cabin>Don't have to pay him anything and just play along with him.GEE I DON'T KNOW?
>>291317719Just in case you thought Miko is not a textbook incel.
Now I'm 100% sure Momiji is into him and the guy is too paranoid and retarded to notice
>>291317785Gayyyyy~
>>291317821This, the hatesex will happen.
>>291317796The dog is female, that's the point.
>>291317793Miko is the easiest mark in this town to befriend and lower how suspicious he looks.
>>291317785I don't know if this nigga needs a father, a friend, a male lover or all of the above
>>291317761Anons overreacting at this stage. It's just meant to be an intrusive thought for now.
>>291317904I think it means to represent they already buried them in their minds
>>291317861Tatelings BTFO
>>291317745You'll have to wait for the hate-sex chapter, I'm afraid.
>>291317921except Miko has done the polar opposite of burying Momiji, dude can't get her out of his head
>>291317904>fantasizing about his closest friends being dead and buried under the cabinNah, this kid has the morals of Tony Soprano.
>>291317889imagine being mean to this cute imouto...how dare he ?!
>>291317976NOO MIKO DON'T FALL FOR THAT MAN BE STRONG
>>291317747Ah I got it now. The beta v10 version works, it's just the legacy v8.3 that's breaking. Dozo.
>>291317986It's not both of his friends, it's Momiji next to Taiki's ex wife.
>>291317986>closest friendsNone of them are actual friends.
Chapter End.Poor Roka.>>291318000I use Suwayomi, since it has a pretty clean UI.
>>291318032Lets be perfectly reasonable here, both Momiji and Roka are acting like creeps with all of the stalking. Why can't they just fuck off and leave Miko alone?
>>291318032What the fuck is Roka trying to accomplish here? More importantly if he is now acting against Momiji then how is she going to react?
>>291317912Some men don't deserve imoutos.
>>291318004The guy is dense as fuck, but at the same time I understand why he is like that
>>291318004>>291318032I can empathize with the paranoia but you never actually know. It's important to realize that and learn when and who is worth taking a risk to trust.
>>291318032He's losing his fucking mind lolWhy would they play this game? They would need to change their entire behavior at school for no reason. That's way too much work for a prankUse your head, retard.
>>291317861Momiji parallel, surely.
>>291318055>More importantly if he is now acting against Momiji then how is she going to react?Momiji is going to crash out and hook up with someone, they will fuck and there will be a meltdown.
>>291318051Because he is being an incel, not that his enviroment is also pushing for him to be like that
>>291317785>I'll only trust people who will kill for me
>>291318032BITCHYOU MADE THIS HARD BY BEING A PUSSYSLAVE SIMP
>>291318083>and hook up with someone, they will fuck and there will be a meltdown.It's more likely Momiji will just lash out at Miko.
>>291318055he's trying to win Miko's trust so that he can have his own excuse to tell Momiji and his family to fuck off and leave him alone, but he can't do that because Mikoma's too paranoid
>>291317861Damn, Miko is too far gone to not even notice that the dog has a dick for all these years.
>>291318032
>stop thinking on your own, just let me manipulate you without any push back you incel chud!!
>>291318123dog doesn't have*
>>291318089There's nothing wrong with being an incel. A man wants his peace, why can't society just leave him alone.
>>291318055Miko pls, Roka just wants a bro. Why are you being so retarded?
>>291317951Miko really is /a/.
What if in a stupid turn of events, Roka breaks up with Momiji, Momiji freaks out and then runs off to Taiki only to see him fucking inn cow and thus revealing Roka was the one telling the truth
>>291317555sexo
>>291318078>got a taste of the mountain and won't stop lashing out at every other dogMiko parallel>underestimated by miko>would rather die doing what they want rather than being bogged downEveryone else parallel>miko thinks the dog's behavior is cool alpha man shit and completely misses the fact that a female dog could act that way tooTaiki, roka, and miko parallel
>>291318075We can say that become we know Roka as no malign intent. However, we KNOW his paranoia is justified because Roka was complicit with the bullshit of pic related for the express purpose of Momiji fucking with him. We also know that Momiji is in fact making Roka scout and observe him to report back to her, so his suspicion is also justified there. It just so happens that this is the one time Roka is in fact acting against Momiji, but Miko is too blind to see his sincerity.
>>291318004>sus
>>291317402>>291317602we are back!
>>291317861>praise an animal for being alpha>it was actually a girlkek
>>291318221There is a good chance for that to happen. In your scenario Taiki will try to hurt Momiji and Miko would have to learn the lesson to stop being an incel and help her
>>291318227Hear me out, what if Momiji really likes Roka but Roka is just too gay for Miko so she is doing her best to ruin his relationship with Roka.
>>291317628>momiiji in panjust a callback... or foreshadowing for them slaughtering her like a piece of meat.
Translations played it a bit looser than usual this week.
Roka really made his own bed here.Started dating a girl just because she asked. Helped her gangstalk Miko just because she asked. Stayed in the relationship despite not even liking her. Now he wants to reverse course and join the no girls allowed team, he's burned all credibility. It's a hundred years too early for him to start a man cave with Miko.
>>291317643it's so obvious that taiki is just following up on whatever miko is saying.
>>291318149>>291317829>A little rest shoulda set him straightThe dog is male
>>291317670I am telling you there is already a fucking body down there.
>>291318288Any particularly spicy examples? raws?The passage about the dog's sex seems like it would be awkward due to English inserting pronouns
>>291318123>>291318149>>291318263it says "he" on the page you fucking browns
>>291318314he's doing exactly what he did with Mayu.
>>291317761DO IT!!!!!!
>>291317698>I'll screw them together.KEK, too on the nose.can somebody check the raws to see if that's exactly what he says?
This amount of distrust is beginning to feel ridiculous. All because of a version of a woman in your head doing things you don’t like. Are they going to have to tie up Miko in order to get a proper conversation out of him?
>>291317719if only miko knew that roka is just a doormat faggot.
>>291317861>That's an alpha male for sure>Actually, it's a bitchKino metaphor
>>291318350Shhh stop being against the narrative. Retards here don't understand the old man said bitch because the dog is annoying
>>291318372>Trusting a womanYou will learn your lesson soon enough and it will be the most painful betrayal in your life.
>>291318372>All because of a version of a woman in your head doing things you don’t like.also his entire family browbeating him, his closest male friend (Roka) being two-faced, the formerly friendly innkeeper trying to blackmail him out of his mountain, etc etc
>>291318350>>291318417Rawbros, settle this.
>>291317740>2nd panelhm.. you know what, it would be a great twist if miko manages to get over his issues and actually saves people at the end when taiki does start trying to murder.
>>291318317>>291318338>>291318350Dog is female.
>>291317889>Brat>Neet>twintails>Flat>Meows>Dolphin pantsI want to do things to imouto
>>291317740>he's already buried someone...>somewhere deep in his mind...miko is so close to getting it.
>>291318372It makes me wonder how the first death on the mountain went down. What the hell did that lady do to cause her to be murdered and buried by, presumably, Miko's grandfather and friends?
>>291317951>>291317951Adda boy miko, he maybe shutting out his friend for good reasons he already knows momiji has him by the balls and puts him up to stuff. He’s taking agency back and not playing the game
>>291318489nice it's actually a good joke
>>291317761>momiji what miko wishes>wifewhat's actually buried down there.
>>291317861>GIWTWMlmao
>>291318504She the first to try to pull a Momiji
>>291318489post the prior page, where the translations say "he" and "him"
>>291318350kek you've embarrassed yourself stupid faggot
>>291317785maybe taiki dies and miko picks up the serial killer mantle?
>>291318417Final cope?
>>291317967Mangaplus series are more censored and don't have nipples.
>>291318534>friendthere's that word againRoka is not a friend. He's another student at the same school.
>>291317811>>291317829>>291317861is the implication that dog is smelling something, probably essence of dead body, on miko?
>>291318572the translation literally has the old man refer to the dog as "him" you speedreading thirdworlder
>>291318560EOP...
>>291318624I thought the same, the dog is disturbed by something
>>291318581I'm thinking Taiki/Miko cross the rubicon and then Miko finds out too late that Taiki was just bullshiting and absolutely was tapping the inn girl. Miko is going to view Taiki as his only trusted companion, only to be betrayed again.
>>291318619Yeah, yeah. We've already had this same conversation a million times in these threads and an anon already debunked it.
>>291317889>meets a bitch followed by a catis the sister going to die?t. paranoid and throwing shit at the wall.
>>291318624I thought it was about Miko being "prey" rather than a hunter
>>291317861Ok, that was a good one. Great chapter.>>291318624Animals liking/disliking certain characters is a common narrative tool to indicate their true nature.
>>291318704Feels like it's a warning about Taiki.
>>291317951>>291317976notice the hints miko.
>>291318666>no argument>no rawconcession accepted, brownie
>>291318740Retard
>>291318652blindly trusting a TL says a lot about your IQyou could have avoided the embarrassment had you waited 10 more minutes before insulting people over nothing, but it seems you were too much of a brainlet for that
>>291318417>>291318652>translationRetard.
>>291318004>>291318032fuck momiji, they are endgame.
>>291318739What hints? He's been fucking with him on her orders since chapter 1 and before then. Roka's behaviour is completely inline with her previous games and he has no reason to trust him.
>>291318652Japanese usually skips pronouns.
>>291318740>Doesn't know moon>Keeps embarrassing himselfAs expected of a bitch
>>291318560No pronouns because of both Japanese reasons and it being a dog.>>291318338Panel on the next page also gives the sense that Miko doesn't consider himself manly.
>>291318852>Still doesn't get why people are laughing at himDekinais are pathetic
>>291318652>>291318560Anon please...japanese largely lacks "he" "she" etc pronouns in sentences, meaning the gender of subjects can be left ambiguous. English translations usually have to insert them to make grammatical sense.So you often get scenes in Japanese stories where one character thinks they're talking about a male and the other thinks they're talking about a female (in English this confusion would be cleared up straight away). A classic example is in a BL where a guy's telling his friends about his love interest, but leaves out that the love interest is a man, so they assume he means a woman. This causes a problem for translators, because having the character say "I like him" would reveal the gender to his friends. You follow?
>>291318032 Roka this chapter feels a bit like the boy who cried wolf. The one time he isn't reporting to Momiji, Miko thinks he is and ignores him.
>>291318852>deletedLMAOOOOOOO
>>291318852>deletedKWAB
>>291318338>The passage about the dog's sex seems like it would be awkward due to English inserting pronounsThey could've just called the dog "it" since strictly speaking you should apply pronouns to animals
>>291318932Seriously, does he think that Miko doesn't know that he's been fucking with him on Momiji's orders? If you want to connect with him, start by apologizing you fucking retard.
>>291318852>deletedBitch detected
>>291317719Miko is a complete bitch, but this is one of the instances where he is 100% in the right. How the fuck is he supposed to interpret roka's actions other than being played at
>>291318997That would sound awkward too though, virtually nobody talks about their own pet as an "it" let alone a dog dad
>>291318350>>291318560>>291318652>>291318852humiliation ritual
>>291318852>Deleted
>>291318998I find it the most interesting part of the chapter. The one social queue he can pick up on is Roka's spying. The only way Miko can be saved at this point is if Roka grows a spine and apologizes. But he won't.
Can we talk about how big of a DAWG miko is holllllyyyyyy
>>291319431People call Miko socially retarded, but Roka is way worse than him and he's gotten by on pretty priviliege.
>>291317755the world is unfair
>>291318997>>291319064I think an acceptable way to translate this passage would be to use the vague pronoun them shortened to 'em given that effort was already used to make gramps sound like the hick he is. Miko could continue using he/him because it was his misunderstanding.
>>291319575That butthole was already opened raw by the whole CP industry.
>>291317889I wonder if imouto says meow when she cums
>>291317889of course shitty imouto is spoiled
>>291320030I can see it go either way: she had something serious happen to her and mom is babying her OR mom just favours her and gives her son a hardtime for whatever reason she thinks is valid.
>>291318998Though not specifically for doing checks on him for Momiji in the past, Roka apologized in chapter 20. He clearly wants to get closer to and open up dialogue with Miko independently but it's Miko who keeps shutting him out because of his relationship with Momiji. That's the entire reason why Roka suggested he'd break up with her this chapter.Roka, tired of Momiji from the very first chapter, wants to get closer with Miko. Miko wants to push Momiji away, and thus by extension, Roka.Roka senses this and posits that he could get closer to Miko if he dumps Momiji.Miko continually thinks everything is a psyop against him and keeps isolating from everyone except Taiki.
>>291320256He has to apologize and make Miko understand what he's apologizing for and that he accepts it. I know this is hard as fuck to do, especially for teenagers, but like the other anon said he's the boy who cried wolf and Miko has 0 reason to trust him.Roka seems to think Miko wants to be buddies with him and much as Roka wants to be with him, meanwhile Miko is one step closer to a machete massacre every time Roka speaks with him.
>comes back>some idiot actually misread the dog scene>bitching about translationsman, the lengths you people will go to deny an obvious narrative. the scene is mocking Mikoma's pathetic and judgmental state. all that shit about male/female roles and the old man cut it down by mentioning that he fucked up the dog's gender. but of course miko wasnt there to hear it. Miko completely and ironically forgot what Taiki initially told him.this should be obvious based on a casual read of that
>>291320401It's both that and a foreshadowing that someone damage isn't gonna be the same even after they heal up.The obvious one is Taiki, but it can also apply to Mikoma
>>291318032Miko's right for all the wrong reasonsRoka is creepy but not for the reasons Miko thinks
>>291320384>Roka seems to think Miko wants to be buddies with himHe doesn't, which is why he's trying to win favor by ditching Momiji.Miko is shutting down conversation, hanging up before hearing out any explanations.
>>291317678You sound like a f*male.
>>291317761The voices, they call to me.
>>291317861
>>291320487I wonder what his blindspot is regarding how he's hurt Miko enough to drive him this far away but still not realize that it happened.
>>291318004Never trust anyone, even your bro.
Leave Miko alone!
>>291320578The poor guy only wants a place to belong to
>>291320629Miko is so lucky to never have enemies because he has bros like Momiji and Roka on his side!
>>291320593You say that as if Miko isn't literally making up stories of Roka and Momiji being sex-havers laughing at him behind his back. He's making up crimes to be a victim to in his head and then cutting people off because of it.
>>291317829>>291317861Interesting. A subtle nod that despite how "unhinged" Ryou is baiting readers into thinking Miko may become, he is not the hunter. He is the one being chased. Throughout the story, he is the one withdrawing and constantly being pursued ("I wish everyone else would just leave me alone.") Much like the ghost of the mountain who was killed by the man who chased her into the mountain. It would be in his best interests to keep Momiji away from the mountain.
>>291320800Because he knows for a fact both of them are messing with him and is extending their behaviour to a logical conclusion. He might be wrong about them laughing at him together in bed, but they are working together to mess with him.You the reader know he's wrong about that, but from his POV it's not that far a stretch.
I'm sitting here thinking about how differently the Mom treats her daughter.
>>291318032Thanks for the dump!
>>291321027I think it's going to be something to do with the grandfather actually being an asshole, and Miko's closeness to him basically alienating the mom from Miko
>>291319575Daaaaamn, I'd also fucking eat those tits, drink her saliva and pump that butthole if i was in the entertainment industry's shoes.
I think the old man was taking the dog on the mountain to shoot and kill it dead.
>>291321027Miko just recently dug up his sister's trauma. The mother acts shitty to him, but it's normal for a parent to keep tabs on their child after a harrowing experience so the mom spoiling the sister is understandable right now. Something must've happened for Miko to be treated more harshly by his parents.
>>291318089>he's being an incelWhat the fuck does that even mean? Wanting to be left alone by two people you suspect (and the story has proven) are stalking and fucking with him? Roka to a lesser extent as he's just Momiji's slave and is only just now forming awareness. He's mistaken, but the "incel" behavior (or whatever the fuck you think that word means) is pure self preservation.
>>291321117reiji is so lucky
>>291317861>sees rabbid dog on a leach>thinks "alpha male"Dangerously realistic.
>>291321027Thats how it is if you’re a male. 9 out 10 times, a male will be ignored in favour of a female.
>>291321097>I think it's going to be something to do with the grandfather actually being an assholeThis theory was already debunked a long time ago, during the chapter where Miko showed Taiki the picture of his grandfather in his younger years.
Girl here, is this manga for women?
>>291320914And that makes it more a problem that Miko has with jumping to not logical, but illogical conclusions, and less of any blindspot that Roka has to sniff out and reflect on. Roka was never shown to enjoy doing Momiji's bidding just to mess with Miko as you state. Time and again, Roka is unenthusiastic about Momiji, especially in front of Miko. It's all Miko making shit up.
Momiji is going to get mad when Roka breaks up with her, how is Miko going to get jealous now that her pawn doesn't obey her anymore?
>>291321477If Miko was smarter he would have confronted Momiji the moment he noticed whatever bull shit she and Roka are puling
>>291321426I'm talking about the grandfather's conduct towards Miko's parents in the later years of his life. Whether he was an asshole as a young man is irrelevant.
>>291321509Even Momiji is doubting her and Roka's relationship these past chapters. I don't know if she'll lash out or just expect it to happen sooner rather than later.I don't know what will come of Roka not being able to protect Momiji afterwards though. We know that it's not a lie since Momiji doesn't even know that Roka told Miko about her still being a virgin.
>>291318271Roka hates women, but he's definitely not gay. Seemed to seethe a little when he mentioned Momiji wouldn't let him fuck. I think Momiji WANTS to like Roka, but it's clear cut who the person consuming her thoughts is.
>>291321477Someone who acts like Roka would also not follow along with her orders to fuck with his friend, but here we are. For all he knows, she told him to also tell him they're not a happy couple to mess with him further. Why would a guy who dislikes his GF also participate in her games to mess with his buddies afterall
Momiji internal monologue chapter when
>>291321570Well, most people don't suddenly change into a completely different person in their elderly years, unless they get dementia. That said, Japs are known to be a little weird when it comes to having to deal with mental illnesses like that.
>>291321717Only as or after her true thoughts towards Mikoma are revealed. Otherwise, she will be left a mystery box.
God I wish Mikoma was me.
>>291321509>how is Miko going to get jealous now that her pawn doesn't obey her anymore?She will fuck Makita.
I'm dying for an Abyss-style double page spread monologue, don't care which character gets it
>>291317602>Let's murder Momiji, Roka, and all the sex havers and normiesWhat did Taiki mean by this?
When was the last time you've uttered these words, anon?
>>291322469Today. Everyday. Way too often.
There is a ghost on the mountain.
Between Miko cuck fantasies and Nighthawk yurishit, I should've just blown my head off today
>>291322757>Nighthawk yurishitFuck off. I stopped reading that some time ago. Are you just trolling or is it actually yuri?
>>291322634(You), the reader, were the ghost all along!
>>291322797It's definitely been more plot oriented, ever since fukuhara quit it's kinda just been plot after plot until the latest one where the first half is just unabashed yuribait. It's teetering between "hey this guy and girl have a shared history and maybe he likes her more than he admits" only to say "look at these this flat chested faggot fondle this hags huge titters"
Roka has never been shown to harbor ill intent towards Miko and has been fairly generous in expressing the reality of his relationship with Momiji to him.On the other hand, Miko has been shown to underhandedly dig at Roka out of jealousy of his seeming success with girls.In the end, Roka wants to be a bro but Miko rejects him as long as he's with Momiji.
>>291322910If Roka was being honest and loyal friend, he would explain to Miko how Momiji confessed to him. He would also tell Miko a thing or two about being anti social, they're not friends. His relationship is entirely about getting Miko to come after Momiji so she can reject him. Not that I believe her.
>I guess I have Taiki and my mountain :D>"I'm so scared of Mikoma.">Dude, don't tell me about your relationship. Boundaries. :/>"Why is Miko making this so difficult?">So, Taiki, if you're going to see Mayu, I won't hold it against you. Just don't lie to me.>"I'm disgusted." "I'll kill for you Mikoma. You're special to me.">Okay man :|
>>291322974That means he's had a certain level of care for Momiji too, the three of them having been acquaintances since childhood. We see this chapter that he's willing to drop her now but Miko isn't ready to hear him out.
>>291317698>We haven't done it yetbecause you're on of the those people that can only get hard for virgins
>>291317643>I would have hated having someone like that in my class too!Would you have hated her enough to bully her, then start asking her to date you for over 6 months?
>>291317719Miko's schizo-sense is on point here.
>>291323297Bitch get the fuck out of here
>>291318004god our guy is really paranoid
>>291323270I think it's less that (because he still wanted her regardless) and more the fact that Roka's outlining that he and Momiji are not as close as Miko may have been led to believe. If they haven't crossed the line, then he figured Miko would be much more susceptible to hearing him out. And he was partly correct. Miko could not even comprehend why he was elated to hear Momiji was not "that kind of girl" (making her slightly closer to the one in his delusions.) So fucking autistic he can't even sort through his own feelings
WHERE THE FUCK IS MAKITA?!
>>291317761>imagines burying their dead bodies>>291317785>laughs
>>291317761Chiho > MomijiI'm not going to say sorry.
>>291318278She is cooked.
So the dog is detecting Miko as a dangerous person right?
>>291323686Momiji trained the dog to violently attack Miko. Momiji is fucked up.
>>291323332Don't get mad; I'm only here to remind you.
>>291317402Chud Wednesdays are my favorite time of the week.
>>291317719This MC is /a/ personified.
>>291317761My fuarking school shooter misogynistic MC!
>>291323686Doubtful. That hackneyed trope is reserved for "unsuspected" threats or malignant actors who successfully pull the wool over every other character's eyes, but signal to the reader/watcher that a darkness belies the seemingly gentle exterior. What is more likely is a continuation or offshoot of pic related. The "bitch" (female) correction makes that evident. Miko still falsely attributes males as the sole hunters or aggressors. He wishes that he could be more like the dog - because his nature is to run away and withdraw. But he is not. He still does not realize how dangerous females are when one catches the scent of blood. It is a rather clear cut Momiji parallel.
>>291319905She says nya
>>291324361Wait until Miko troons out then it will be femboy wednesdays
>>291318004The schizo sense with this guy is off the charts. He can be dying of thirst in the middle of the desert and if he sees puddle of water infront of him he will think that someone that dislikes him specifically created that puddle of water and poisoned it for this exact moment.
>>291321717Just wait until Ruka breaks up with her, we are so close
Taiki definitely had sex with Mayu. You guys are just as naive as Mikoma.
>>291318004Sussy Roka.
I say again, it's kinda neat that Ryo decied to make a completely irredeemable dirtbag MC this time around
>>291324750He's a teenager and the worst thing he's done so far is say some really mean shit to his little sister. He's not completely irredeemable, it's going to be a tragedy precisely because he could have been redeemed but won't be
>>291324750good female impression, anon
>>291324750Name one thing Miko did that's irredeemable.
>holy bait batman
>>291324805He made a woman feel uncomfortable after she tried to gaslight and manipulate him and he didn't fall for it.
>>291324750YWNBAW.
>>291324805>Name one thing Miko did that's irredeemable.He clearly hurt milady's feelings for being brutally honest about being fed up with female nature, which is a mortal sin amongst cattle. I'd say it was bait, but browsing Mangaplus comments and leddit discussion blurs the line between ironic shitposting and genuine retardation too strongly.
>>291324750>completely irredeemable That's some fine sub-quality bait.
alpha male bros...our response ?
>>291325054Miko just has burger level IQIt has nothing to do with being an alpha
>>291317698>>291317719Hahaha. He is so lost.
>>291324681Honestly last chapter made me think the sleeping naked theory was true.But here Taiki switched too fast from being angry to agreeing with whatever Miko was saying.He's clearly hiding something.
>>291317889>>291317912Miko was right about everything he said about the sister.
>>291317861>BitchMiko's seething and tantrums are bitchmade. Or the women have the men under the thumb. Momiji still has his cock on a leash that's why he can't help himself despite "hating" her.
>>291318055Roka is gay, he just wants to hang out with his bro and be done with women.
>>291324805>Name one thing Miko did that's irredeemable.He cannot beat his hardon for Momiji.
>>291324681If it continued with Miko being suspicious and seething I would lean to no sex happened. But you may be right now. Would make Taiki the bitch and Miko mistaking him just like the dog.
>>291324805He was born a chud.
>>291325530"Bitch" is the translator taking liberties to convey that the dog is female (mesu), it's not in the japanese version and you shouldn't take its pejorative English connotations as foreshadowing anything about the story.
>>291325979I doubt the translator is going that deep with it, but people who keep dogs as work animals do use "bitch" to refer to female dogs and I would qualify a hunter that way.
>>291325979It's not really a liberty. I'd translate it to "bitch" as well and have done so in the past. The connotation is just unavoidable, so EOPs are going to invariably draw that line. It's basically usurped the original denotation. Anyone who knows what a female dog is called, knows what Kippei meant.
>>291324681Im on and off on it. The way Taiki switched and laid himself out like that makes me think he learned *something* from the wife incident.But I just don't think someone can hang with that messed up eye. Even if they didn't look at each other.But seriously I need more Mayu.
Momji will flirt with adults to get Miko jealous if Roka breaks up with her. Will probably lead to sex though.Shit, maybe that's definitely what happens now. And its how leafman ends up murdering someone for Miko.
>>291321635Maybe Momiji doesn't want to fuck Roka because she can tell he isn't actually into her.
>>291317602He is certainly coming off very unhinged.>>291318004>>291318032I bet if all the girls in school wanted to sleep with him he wouldn't get it
>>291324938I once watched a video explaining what the current "literacy crisis" is about and it explained so much of the behaviour and comments you see sometimes from people, especially on pirate sites.Basically, kids can read words, but they cannot retain information, use it to inform later events, and they just move past it without internalizing things. For example, they'd read a paragraph about a guy going grocery shopping and in the next chapter some kids would wonder how he got food to eat.
>>291326867We're doomed basically.
>>291324750The story so far gives the feeling that someone else is going to do some shit and Miko will learn to stop being a retard. I think at his highest moment of being a hater, Taiki or Roka's ex BIL will try to hurt Momiji and Miko will learn that she actually likes him
>>291324906You go miko, trash your kid sister
>>291326867This is something I am definitely noticing in the generations coming after me. That is not to say millennials are not mentally retarded, but I am picking up a steep decline in object permanence in forthcoming generations. Or critical reading skills in general. The lack of attention span to read beyond surface level to begin with is also a factor. It's slightly less egregious in manga like this because the subject matter is grounded, psychological, and catered towards an older demographic. Thankfully, the worst we get are zoomers thinking this is a story about incels, since their ADHD brains can only correlate "woman bad" rhetoric with a modern 2020s buzzword and unironically think Miko is the actual threat. I can mostly ignore them. But holy shit, the literacy crisis becomes undeniable if you step into the hellscape of a modern shonen discussion. I stopped reading shounen a long time ago, but came back for Chainsaw Man. The level of retardation saturating Part 2 threads just made me drop them completely. Though to be fair, the writing was schizophrenic itself ,so perhaps I am judging them too harshly.
>>291318055>What the fuck is Roka trying to accomplish here?Total foid death
>>291317761>my dirt>my desert>my mountainwell get to it
>>291327969romcom comments are true despair material in these regards. combining zoomoid reading competence with emotional content and you lose all hope.
>>291318032What the fuck is Roka's goal here?
>>291324938>>291326867>>291326943>>291327969May I ask why you're seething this hard over something as trivial as a ficitonal character getting called an incel or whatever ? Like chill out, it's not that serious.
>>291328658Escaping the foid menace and founding a men's compound inna woods
>>291328658He's mad his girlfriend won't put out and is getting real tired with her obsession of Miko. He values his friendship with Miko more than his relationship with Momiji. It's too bad Roka and Miko have the communication skills of Eris Greyrat.
>>291328840>It's too bad Roka and Miko have the communication skills of Eris GreyratSo who has ED? We already have the schizo.
>>291327775>Miko will learn that she actually likes himBy that moment, his feelings will be so fucking corrupted he'll get his dick diamonds by watching Momiji being NTFO'd by either Taiki, Kazuma... or Roka himself.
>>291326493>But seriously I need more MayuShe'll now tey to seduce Mikoma in order to stop him from going to the mountain. Now she'll go full Misato.
>>291327775>Roka's ex BILThere's a reason he keeps appearing. I don't know what the reason will be, but there's something there. The guy that also hit on Mayu early on, right? He's really the only adult sleezebag from the town whose had any sort of development. He's a chekhov's gun.
>>291328658He wanted to use helping Miko as an excuse to break up with Momiji. I'm starting to think Roka is turning from Captain Saveaho into Captain Saveabro but what he really needs to do is break up with Momiji, stop trying to save fucked up people, and help himself.
Speaking of Momiji, assuming she likes or wants to reject Mountainboy, why go through all this?>Fake date a guy to use as a shield or bait for Miko. What is she expecting him to do?> Either direction asks the question of what she gets from having her boy toy monitor him instead of doing it herself? >Why fake being scared to Roka and have constant discussions about Miko with him?Assuming she doesnt like him and wants to reject him, it doesnt make sense to actively have anyone monitoring him, and what does she want to come after said hypothetical rejection? Him distancing from her (as he is sorta doing now).If she likes him, if the status is the issue, then what will her answer be? Yes or no? Because no cycles back to the first question of why follow him, and yes asks the question of why not ask him out, then? Is it simply due to her status or her pride telling her he should ask her out?What's Mountain's role here? Because there is a snowball's chance in hell that he killed his wife and wasn't immediately the prime suspect(assumign she is dead). Like, there is suspension of disbelief, but there is no way to have him both hospitalized and not get arrested.>>291329165To be fair, it is still possible for him to have a positive relationship with Miko, but he actually has to not be near Momiji because, despite some thinking he is paranoid, Miko is right not to trust Roka's words.
>>291329202I think the subversion will be she genuinely wants to fix him more than she wants to date him/have him orbit her, but she also clearly saw what was coming before even Roka did. If I'm wrong and this is purely just about her flexing her status and having him grovel/get rejected, so be it. But wouldn't that be a little too much of a mustache twirling motive? Maybe there is an ego trip involved, but I think she does have some form of a soft spot for Miko, it's just he's becoming a paranoid schizo and it is very obvious to everyone now.
>>291326867>>291327969Children (and adult ESL's) naturally learn to speak English via phonics - "sounding out the words." Unfortunately, a bunch of idiots with authority decided to try and reinvent the wheel. Many children were forced to try and learn English using their bullshit theories like "whole language" and "three-cueing system," while actively discouraging children from naturally using phonics to learn.There is also the dysgenics issue of people with lower IQ's having much more children than people with higher IQ's in the modern day.
>>291329428>it's just he's becoming a paranoid schizo and it is very obvious to everyone now.I feel the issue is that they are making it worse by actively monitoring him.
>>291329428it's not paranoia if they are actually gangstalking him
>>291329002He'sa professional. Someone is gonna get ensnared by him, I tell you what.
>>291329449>>291329474You could say, she's haunting him?
>>291317555yup, another volume to miss out weekly shoseki. we're closer to get the axe
>>291329519How is this manga become so popular on /a/ while it's almost unheard of in Japan?
>>291329202My guess is that he failed her during their childhood and she held a grudge towards him ever since. But at the same time she's still clinging to her idealized image of him and is unable to fully move on.
>>291329541Boy's Abyss threads and Senseiposting left a permanent imprint on our brains.

>>291328757Your post is a textbook example of why that comment chain even exists. You distill it down to seething over a fictional character being labeled an incel, when the Miko "incel" comments are emblematic of broader systematic concerns with literacy. That is what the "seething" is over.
>>291329541>murder mystery thriller/drama with realistic and unflattering main characters and an unresolved love triangleThe average battle shonen consuming boy isn't exactly a good demo.
>>291322910It's a rural village and there are only so many people their age. They've never really given me the impression of being true friends, it's more like the kind of friendship that forms out of proximity because you're all stuck together in a small group or place and you pass the initial vibe check. Also, Roka's whole thing is that he's a self-aware spineless doormat so Momiji will almost always hold more power over him regardless of his relationship with Miko, except when he's at his breaking point like now.
>>291321554>confronted MomijiThat seems like a bad idea. Who knows what she'd do.
>>291330514This also helps explain Momiji's behaviour because she's bored in her little village and using Mikoma as her plaything explains why she's so hung up on controlling him.However Ryo has yet to explain her real motivation in any way and at this point, I don't see what grounded, semi-realistic reason she'd have to still keep messing with him beyond being a jilted unrequited love.
>>291330913>I don't see what grounded, semi-realistic reason she'd have to still keep messing with him beyond being a jilted unrequited loveMaybe she's a psychopath who messes around with Mikobot to see how he reacts.
>>291329202>Fake date a guy to use as a shield or bait for Miko. What is she expecting him to do?She expects him to be hurt, yet still orbit her. However, dating Roka has a dual purpose. It's not just to antagonize Miko, but to give her an opportunity to move on from him. But it's a catastrophic failure since not only does Roka not give a shit about her, she cannot stop obsessing over Miko. >Is it simply due to her status or her pride telling her he should ask her out?Definitely the latter based on her seethe in the ch. 17 flashback, but that and the former are not mutually exclusive. An amalgam of both seems just as likely. >What's Mountain's role here?That's the million dollar question. It basically serves as a spiritual nexus which seduces and shackles the souls of the isolated who have no other refuge. It "wants" those who have fallen so enraptured with it, that they will happily die there (The ghost, Miko, Taiki, the grandfather) - even fucking dogs >>291317861 Though I believe that bitch is a proxy for Momiji. It doesn't necessarily give a fuck about the mountain as much as it lives to hunt the prey hiding on it. Though I do wonder if she may fall victim to the "curse" after Roka breaks up with her and Miko stops orbiting her. Seeing as she will lose her validation and her "place." That said. if you fall into Makita's train of thought, it does to "want" anyone (or at least Miko) - it just "curses" people just by existing. On a side note, I do not think Taiki's buried anyone there (yet). Option's definitely on the table later, though.
>>291317670Manly moment.>>291317719Yup, they are mocking you, Mikoma. You and your mountain, heh->>291317761WHAT THE FUCK, EASY DUDE.>>291317811I hope they will eat this dog eventually.>>291318004Don't believe him, muh boy.
>>291318089So why don't they just leave him and his autistic passion alone? The whole toxic environment turned him into an incel and they are also contributed to it. Does his mountainfagging really bother them that much?
>>291328757I didn't call him an incel, I called him an irredeemable dirtbag. He's like an edgier, stupider Reiji but without Reiji's actual fucked up life situation, like I can only assume Ryo's taking the piss because he's kind of absurd
>>291317889Perfect imouto wife
>>291329438I guess I know why my niece and nephew are kinda retarded. >no phoneticsI went through speech therapy, I hope they haven't modified that too.
>>291329202Probably pissed that he never made a move on her when she was open to it an is probably trying to get back since it hurt her pride, but she probably fears his rejection too.
>>291331530>I guess I know why my niece and nephew are kinda retarded.I've heard stories of older kids being literally unable to say words that they don't recognize. It is as if they were forced to memorize how to say every individual word that they know.
>>291317889The joke is that he wished he could act like the violent shithead alpha male dog, meanwhile his little sis is acting like a cat and getting pampered by the parents. He looks down on them.

>>291325054I... I kneel...
>>291321361Hes just that good, got the sex demon genes from mom
This teen plotting bullshit always makes me think of My Chemical Romance (guess the song).
>>291331910I don't know but reading that band name reminded me of this https://youtu.be/3t5wLhzZLcw
>>291332097>NanananachiYeah, it was either that song or this onehttps://youtu.be/k6EQAOmJrbwThe best part of this being a ruralish small town is that the gun parts of the song still work.
>>291318852Lmao
>>291331303Being a weirdo in rural Japan or any closed small comunity is unacceptable
>>291317861Is being aggressive alpha male behaviour? Where did Miko get this idea?
>>291334947I don't see why a girl who doesn't even like him wants him to creep on her and a guy who doesn't seem to like him wants his acknowledgement. Actually I don't know what Roka wants from him. Is he just not playing by the script? Is it The Truman Show?
>>291330399I don't think I made any wrong observation here, it's clear that the comments about Miko are what got you riled up to the point you started rambling about the death of media literacy. I'm kind of curious why the negative reactions towards this particular character are triggering you so much but I guess I will never know.
>>291317861How can he be so retardingly based.
Miko will lose his virginity to Mayu unwillingly.
>>291335333You unironically cannot see the forest for the trees. Literally only one comment mentioned the incel shit as an example. The fact you are hyper fixating on it leads me to suspect you feel called out.
>>291335523*MakitaShe will rape him so that he can stop being a virgin loser.
I really enjoyed reading this manga up until the 6th chapter, but was too busy to check the rest of it out.Without spoiling it should I start catching up right now, or pick it up again soon in the near future and read it in one sitting?Also, this work is the first that I have seen from this author as I have never checked out Shounen no Abyss. Should I check it out too, or continue reading sangeki blind?
>>291318055He wants to join the mountain gang, unaware there are problems with it too.
>>291321717She's a bitch. She doesn't have a internal monologue, just a need to hunt rabbits.
>>291336914Boy's Abyss is by no means required reading, but it does help you understand the preferences and intricacies of the author. That said, Boy's Abyss is a more dramatic read, with this being more grounded. If you want to read along with the threads, obviously start reading now. But if you can afford to hold off and prefer reading in bulk, wait. This is apparently going to be a shorter work.
>>291337053I will probably try catching up on previous chapters since I have a feeling that the story is about to get really interesting.
>>291318167If he isn't looking to get laid then he's a volcel
>>291324361pardon my ignorance, when is the release schedule for sangeki? I keep missing every new chapter's release and am only here today by chance
>>291329541Popularity on /a/ =/= popularity in Japan
>>291337290>volcel We used to call that MGTOW, but because labor (men) need(s) to be controlled (the state does this by using females as a proxy, weaponizing the desire for marriage and children against them and enslaving them) any type of male autonomy is labeled a hate movement/ incel behavior and publicly shamed by NPCs. So "volcel" was created as a counter. If men just did what Taiki and what Miko are doing - fucking off and being left alone and not participating in society - shit would crumble overnight. Men cannot be allowed to be left alone. Miko is not even trying to get laid, he just has a bad case of oneitis and wants to get over it. Guy just wants to live in peace in his mountain without females intruding. But that's not allowed.
>>291335308>I don't see why a girl who doesn't even like him wants him to creep on herBecause in her mind the weird class loser not being obsessed with the popular, beautiful, class princess is a blow to her ego. Her family obviously occupies a high position in their small town's social structure and Miko, by refusing to fawn over her like all the other guys do, is disrupting this hierarchy. Your question is like saying why would an absolute monarch who demands displays of submission and tributes take issue if some shantytown of peasant hovels refuses to do. He would care because the defiance shows his power is not total and by refusing to play ball they might incite further disruptions to the social order. >what Roka wants from himRoka's just a faggot who wants to sodomize and/or be sodomized by Miko.
>>291340559While none of what you said about Momiji is incorrect, it also needs to be elucidated this egotism ONLY manifests in plain sight when Miko is involved. She knows Roka does have any particularly strong feelings toward her and her attempts at manipulating him fail (e.g "twisting" her ankle in ch. 2) She'll mope for about 5 seconds and snap back like a rubber band. But the second Miko dares to step out of line, all hell breaks loose. One could argue that Roka is a "high value" male, so Momiji sees herself as beneath him and prostrates or submits: but we also know that is not their relationship dynamic and Roka obeys The Queen to his detriment despite his emotional unavailability. It's quite telling she demands unwavering attention from the "loser" who she already knows has feelings for her, but is fine with her actual boyfriend not giving a fuck. Almost like she's using him for something.
>>291317402I hate woman so much
>>291317861>Project himself onto the dog>She is a bitchKek
>>291341192I interpreted this as: she succeeded with her overarching goals regarding Roka (he dates her, he obeys her schemes towards Miko, and wears her ribbon) so will ignore small acts of rebellion such as ignoring the ankle shittest. The key distinction between Roka and Miko is how the community would perceive their relationships with Momiji. She seemingly tolerates his private acts of rebellion so long as on the surface he appears to be properly performing his role as the dutiful and loving high-quality boyfriend of the town's Madonna. On the other hand, Miko openly rejects and resents her, their classmates are aware of this dynamic (see the tomboy's statements) and it is this public refusal to submit to the role society would expect of Miko vis a vis Momiji that drives her insane. Momiji probably doesn't care how either of them personally feel so long as they publicly perform their roles.
>>291342370There is definitely some social hierarchy shit going on here. Though I'm not sure whether anyone but Makita picks up on his resentment, but he does a poor enough job at hiding it at times that I would not be surprised if others noticed. That said if (when) Roka breaks up with her, her reaction will be gold. Like Miko said, it would "ruin the whole class vibe" if the star couple broke up. When the optics collapse, she is going to lose her shit.And blame Miko, of course.
>>291337498Weekly Wednesday around like 11am EST

>>291329002The fat bastard is a ticking bomb, he will try to rape somebody
>>291318032>Everything so hard>He hungWhat did they mean by this bros!?!?
>>291324750You make it sounds as if the one from Boy's Abyss wasn't an even worse person.
>>291345179>wasn't an even worse person.Reiji wasn't misogynistic, neither a shitbag except at his mom, trolazo, writer and teacher. And even if he showed resentment or psychopathic intentions, it was at people who deserved the treatment.
>>291342923>And blame Miko, of course.How wouldn't it be his fault though? Him and his faggot mountain and his faggot groomer and his faggot friend are all trying to make things shit.
>>291329541This genre is fun to read and discuss in a group but to a common consumer it's just misery porn.
>>291346411But Miko didn't do anything is the point.>Didnt suggest they break up>Was not the one following her around or sending someone else to follow her around.Literally everything breaking involving roka and her wouldn't be his fault but she'd blame him cause who else would be responsible? Maybe not noticing your boy toy has started to hate you or has issues with being controlled by women or the fact that she can't keep miko's name out of her mouth whenever their alone.
>>291342923Makita also seems to resent Miko for going against the social hierarchy bullshit. She was mad at him in the umbrella chapter
>>291336914I think this manga in particular is a slow burn. It’s meant to be a short series but honestly nothing has happened yet except leaf’s cabin is progressively getting built with Miko’s help.Miko is seething at the imaginary woman in his head while the relationship between him and his friends is slowly getting worse, nobody in the story is happy about it. It’s kind of like everyone has Boy’s Abyss issues except nobody is having sex as far as we know.
>>291346783>But Miko didn't do anything is the point.Exactly. And if Ryou plays it straight, Momiji will be able to deduce he is the "cause" if Roka begins spending an inordinate amount of time with Miko on the mountain after dropping her. She is not above stalking either, so she'll do whatever to dig dirt on why Roka "suddenly" broke up with her. >>291347177I'm not even sure what that scene was suppose to convey. >Makita: Stay away from muh princess f@ggot. You scare her! Later>Miko: Fuck off, Momiji.>*proceeds to distance himself and be happy for the first time in the manga*>Momiji: Roka, I aM so sCaAaAared of MiIiKo....>Makita: REEEEEEEEEEESeriously, the fuck?
>>291347853Maybe the real reason Miko feels he needs the mountain is that everyone else he knows is fuckign insane? He is a bit weird, but it's more outer weird. Everyone else is mostly suppressing their power levels.The mountain seems to make everyone who touches it reveal some of their true selves.
>>291317976Why is the whole cast simping for him (besides the obvious self insert meta)? Genuinely has zero redeeming qualities. >>291318004How does one even get to this point so young without spending hours a day in blackpill threads?
>>291347177>Makita also seems to resent Miko for going against the social hierarchy bullshitI think she's mad that he refuses to pick a side. He keeps trying to escape societies constraints on Taiki's Mountain and Fountain (formerly Miko's) but then simultaneously tries to maintain a face of normalcy. Makita is saying he either needs to fully commit to being a normalfag or openly be a freak like herself, but not both. She's just telling him to shit or get off the pot instead of continuing his pussy wishy-washy behaviour.
>>291348349>Maybe the real reason Miko feels he needs the mountain is that everyone else he knows is fuckign insane? He is a bit weird, but it's more outer weird. Everyone else is mostly suppressing their power levels.He believes they are insane, but he's the most dangerous one because of his misogynistic and paranoid incel aura he oozes with his words, statemwnts and actions.And tet at the same time, he can't help himself, but being a pathetic simp.
>>291349299>Why is the whole cast simping for him>Simping>for MikoThis take is so hot, it makes hell look like the North Pole. >>291349599>but he's the most dangerous one Imagine believing this.
>>291349599>he's the most dangerous oneNot when fat bastard is around
>>291349686>Imagine believing this.It's not a crazy take. It's like the story is grooming him to snap at some point by frustrating him and making him resentful.
>>291351514It is not "crazy" because the author is deliberately baiting this response despite clear signaling as early as chapter 4 that it's not the male you need to be worried about. This chapter could not have been any more on the nose with the dog (female) being the "alpha male" hunter. The whole point is that Miko is NOT dangerous; he is just a jilted kid devoid of machismo with no compass following his grandfather's passing, chasing after an illusory ideal of "masculinity." One he can never measure up to. Miko's nature is not to hurt others, it is to retreat to the mountain and be left alone. He's the modern day proxy of the ghost, but with a cock. Taiki is his foil. What he can become if if an actual danger like Chiho "kills" him and he lives to tell the tale and become an *actual* misogynist with homicidal potential. But as we see, Miko is no where near that level and is visibly intimidated by him. Not becoming Taiki 2.0 is his character arc.
Does anyone else have a theory that the Grandad killed someone in the hunting trip?
>>291353388First I've heard off anything like that except >>291318504, in this very thread.
>>291347177Makita wants him to: 1) stop being a creep to her princess and 2) be honest with himself
>>291353441the mountain being "haunted" isn't really talked about much in the manga besides the preamble in the first chapter, but Miko's family trying their hardest to get him to stay away from the mountain along with some of the other adults and the recent revelation that his grandfather has a hidden side points to him being in the mountains when something bad happened up there.it's a pretty solid theory, especially given small towns' reputation of covering up and hiding shameful things. shit like the village rapist or the known diddler kept hush hush
