>>291664382WHAT THE FUCK DID THEY DO TO MY WIFE
>>291664350That's the first job I read when it was dumped here. I'm glad I clicked on the thread, it's one of my favorite manga now.
>>291664423Dude, you are supposed to ease into it not just ask outright.
>>291664524Mucho texto
>>291664529Spooky.
>>291665300The Yakuza got him.
>>291664350We're getting to some of the jobs I barely fucking remember at all.
>>291664778>brain is getter machineDr. Saotome?
>>291666096This job was pretty basic, true.
>>291664833>evil woman is a giant nop, but she is actually cuteUgh o-okay
>>291664712It's ok, TL-kun.*kiss you*
>>291664784Ignorance is bliss.
>>291664833Somebody give this man some cola!
>>291664535>>291664549Hana shows why she's a vet in gray jobs: there's zero reasons whatsoever of running in an infinite space and the book already proves you the setting is hostile. At this point, better gamble towards the darkness while you're still healthy and fresh.
>>291664350This one did nothing for me. Didn't reveal anything interesting about the characters, and the premise is boring.
>>291666460>He doesn't know
>>291664814Im sure ''she'' will get ''that timing'' right
>>291664814I wonder if "that time" refers to some unfortunate accident or disease that will befall her, or if it refers to THAT time.
>>291664358ENTER
>>291664590>400 a yearI call bullshit on this. I bet she only skims wikipedia summaries.
>>291665300Yeowch, I should have proofread more.>>291666246Please don't.
More volume extras!
That's it for now.
>>291668514Watch out, Yume! A pink Wojak!
>>291668527>>291668540The strongest!

>>291668540Are you guys going to pick up Fujimi no Paisen and Paisen-gyo? It's just a volume each.
>>291668527Is Yagi an 'honored one'?

>>291668540Yagibros...
>>291664334LET'S GHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
>>291666612Not including Chacha, of course.
>>291664382I wonder if this bit is only from Yume's perspective. Yume can see things others can't, after all.
>>291664601Starting to think the reasons gray jobs have such high death rates is because having a basic survival instinct is basically a superpower in this manga
>>291664524Love Schizo-books,
>>291665232>seething
>>291667611It's doable if she reads one a day, twice on weekends
>>291664750Is this natty?
>>291664350Haunted libraries should be a big fucking nope in any horror setting. They're always death traps.
>>291666709I'm a pervert, so I like to think it's something violating.
>>291664833You've never even met her dad, sister.
>>291668540I didn't think they'd kill off Yagi in the extras...
I'm rewatching Ikoku Nikki and all this stuff about parents just being gone is starting to make me really unsettled.
>>291670939>Kyuuki LibraryThe Japanese are lucky that people don't know their language enough to get that they are naming their horror sites stuff like "Evil Library".
>>291673732A Short Stay in Hell is pretty good.
>>291673759Well, she probably learned a lot about him when they were in highschool and actually friends at the time.
>>291668540el hermanobaito being humbled by Buddy-Yume.
>>291668527The STRONGEST!
So, the Pitch Black Book is just shittier than Yume's Omniscience ability?
>>291674071||No, it was correct. Yume saw no way out either.||
>>291668540Why do they keep calling him an old man? He can't be older than 35.
>>291674123>He can't be older than 35Oji-chan...
>>29167412335 is old.
>>291674123
>>291674855Yume would not say this, but Hama definitely would.
>>291664445>>291664453Extremely rude grays. They should learn some manners from Taptap-chan.

>>291664601P-Perfect Success-kun?
>>291664705Should've just went glove-dropping, that job's much easier and the pay's way better.
>>291664712>>291664718Ah yes, a book that describes the future in perfect clarity, surely nothing could possibly go wrong from reading it.
>>291664833Screw you Yagi, coffee is awesome.>>291664849Thanks for posting, OP.>reading is evilB-But I'm reading right now? AAAIIIEEE
>>291668527>>291668540I thought I might've missed a volume extra for Yagi to be in that state, but on second thought I suppose he's always been like that
>>291673744She'll go on a date with Anon.

>>291674123>>291674297>>291674307>>291674855
>>291675942Good basis but the GI poster should at least be replaced by Uma Musume for consistency.
>>291675942I really don't like this.The entirety should be horses and lottery winners.
>>291676141And gray stuff.
>>291675942>Just changing the faceCome on, man. You can do better.
>>291675942Yagi is the author self insert, he can't be a loser.

>>291676776
>>291665232Are you tripping balls? Since when did "ч" sound like "tš"? The "kh" is probably just a way to emphasise "h" isn't silent
>>291676908Just checked an apparently "tš" is actually used by some for "ч". Hilarious bullshit but I suppose phonetic systems can always be perfect
Why not just ask someone to kill her?
>>291677528Wouldn't work.
>>291677528>ask someone to tell her>she's reported to a psychatrist>somehow finds a back channel to get a hired gun to kill her>some goody two-shoe foils it before it happens>by a completely inexplicable coincidence she gets the one Kuroiwa job that's completely safe>eventually just gets locked into an asylum as the clock continues to tick away
>>291677767>tfw
Who is the cutest Baito? Daidai is not included in this reckoning.
I wish I could actually remember the sequence of jobs instead of just a vague memory of how the next 100 chapters are ordered. Looking forward to the Shhmen.
>>291680687>tfw most of my favorite jobs are toward the end of the mangaAt least I know Laboratory Assistant is pretty soon...
>>291679892>Daidai is not included in this reckoning.If best girl isn't included then what's the point ?
>>291680829It's considered couth to defer the one who wins the category every time, so as to let the lesser get a chance to win.
>>291679892
>>291680995Is that supposed to be Tokiko?
>>291680687I'm glad I have just a vague memory I just know the very very best is Auctioneer
>>291681013yes
>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kH4A_0E_YrcStumbled upon this. Video summarizing all of the gray that appeared in the series.Spoiler alert of course. But if you understand moonrunes and want to check then the ones that haven't appeared in the daily yet start after 25:48.
>>291681215First.The format / structure resembles a game? Wizardy?However, not putting Celebration from Kool & The Gang as OST at place of that eerie tune
>>291681215The Grays are shown in chronological order, with their stats shown in this order: Strength, Danger, Range, and Difficulty of Job Completion.
>>291677528Its destiny that she will survivs until THAT day
>>291679892Normal cutest is Chacha, abnormal cutest is Kuroiwa
>>291681215>no buddy yume chan wtf rude
>>291682556Kuroiwa is kimokawaii.

Done. Ben Stiller did it.See you tomorrow!
>>291684061(me)>>291684109Oh she just does that kek
>>291683800Yeah exactly, you know what gray work is likeThough you wouldn't be in gray work if you were working with a full deck of cards I suppose
I understood nothing of this story.So There are three opportunities:See Tatsuko, die for the fear.See Tatsuko or being used to her, don't die, but develop a fetish-addiction (like the owner and the other two grey job guys to her, seeing her everywhere and being persecuted, ending with dying slowly due to fear or transfroming this in artDon't see Tatsuko, nothing happens.
>>291683984YARR
>>291683774Yume cares for everyone.

>>291683864>"Bitch..."
>>291683923Nyooooooo!
>>291683961I know everyone has their kink but wtf dude!?
>>291683984I love how smol she is, like DaiDai.It truly makes them feel like gremlins.

>>291683628>Ib chapterinteresting
>>291683628Hmm... art is complicated...
>>291683663I feel like a strong lock would work better.
>>291683774The Yume of COMMAND.
>>291684109Thanks OP
>>291684100What does 'tatsuko' mean? Kanji-wise. I remember there being an explainer in another translation but I don't see it here.>>291684109Oh there it is. Is there more to it than that? Another scary pun?
>>291684100She's not that scary, reminds me of an ugly pug honestly.
>>291685482Not really. The implication is that the museum director was right. Uesaka really did see a Tatsuko in his youth, just like that kid, and not knowing what it was, just named it for what it looked like.
>>291685508Be real, you'd freak out if you saw her in the dark.
>>291683601Fat fuck doll
>>291683786who the fuck go steal some art museum and brings a portable toilet?
>>291685708What on earth are you reading? They aren't thieves, they got the portable toilets for the job.
>>291684300No those guys had an interest on the Tatsuko thats why they were affected and not the girls aka men having hobbies = bad>>291685734i had a stroke mid reading i'm sorry
>>291684300Think of Tatsuko like an evil version of a viral meme or a FOTM "waifu".Those who don't care about the meme/waifu don't experience psychological effects.Those who care about the meme/waifu experience effects that go from being so scared of it that you die, developing hallucinations about it (like when a song gets stuck in your head but more vivid and really spooky), or developing a pathological obsession with it (like the artist who made all these pieces or the gallery guy, 4chan has tons of genuine schizos obsessed with one idea or a character).
>>291685582Same as I would for an ugly pug, nbd.
>>291673778This is a good manga. I don't know why you brought it up though.
>>291685995I'd shit myself a little at the sight of an ugly pug of that size hanging around my storeroom without authorised access
>>291683923Nooooooo my cutie :(
>>291683904>MAYONEGG
>>291686355what if they k*ssed one time when they got too drunk after a really scary gray job (they MUST comfort each other)
