Uh, are you guys sure this was not written by Junji-Ito?... It's really creepy, and weird... And creepy, and weird and I love it!! :B

That girl must be thinking:
-Oh look!! There goes my roommate again splitting in two because she's having a nightmare... Argh!! I'm getting kinda bored seeing this everyday... and jealous because she gets to be eaten by her other half-self, damn I wish it was me who gets to eat her everyday!! -_- oh, well I'm gonna kiss her tummy then... G'nite!

Pshh of course this happens very often... No big deal!! xD

Mh. Much as I like the "wtf"-feeling of it, it also feels a bit random. "Yeah, let's just go with that, whatever..."

It allows for more interpretations, just like the wet dreams/masturbation stuff. Doesn't mean that was the author's message, who probably just wanting to do something weird, but it still is a fun activity.


I had time to think more about my own (silly) interpretation. Perhaps it has to do with the feeling of powerlessness when you want to help someone close, but you realise that you can't or that you are not needed.

We see the roommate struggling with nightmares before she splits, similarly to somebody struggling with their problems right before they decide to face them. Then the munching part is when they decide to attack them head-on, we could see the eating part as both fixing and accepting your problems. In the end, the roommate seems quite happy after she ate her other "problem" self : she made her problems go away since her other self doesn't exist in the proper sense, but in a way, her problems are still present in herself as she accepted them (literally) in her.

In summary, a problem arise in the roommate life (a nightmare), she takes a step back (split) to face her problem head on, she fix them (ate them) and accept them (digesting) - I think this a weak point of my interpretation, since I think you should accept your problems before fixing them, but why not. And after all that, she feels relieved or somewhat satisfied and goes back on living (sleeping).

Meanwhile, the MC is observing her roommate, somewhat fascinated by how she is resolving her problems alone, perhaps kind of frustrated because she can't really do something significant to appease her. She tried once to help her (nibbling her) when she was having problems (nightmares) but realised that it was useless, that "[She isn't] good enough." only leaving her roommate still struggling with her problem, who does seem to be still struggling in p10, when the MC failed to eat her.

In the end, the only thing the MC could do is watch helplessly as her roommate is dealing with her problems, no interfering, comforting her and being there for her when she has dealt with her problems - by caressing the belly which contains the digested other self (the problems).

The message could be something along those lines : the problems or the anxiety your friend/lover is experiencing can only be effectively dealt with by the concerned party, you can't deal with them (eat them) for the other. All you can do is be there to support them and help them "recover" somehow - this is illustrated by caressing the belly while the roommate is digesting, apparently it helps with the digestion to massage the belly in a clockwise rotation (by martial art energetic philosophy and perhaps supported by some scientific articles with more grounded results).

Of course, it's missing some important stuff like sometime you can be the one giving the nudge for the affected party to finally deal with their problem, and perhaps other stuff I haven't considered, but I'm quite happy with that!

The ending was kinda depressing because she could help or do whatever she was trying to do for her friend..but YET cute and heartwarming bc she at least tried to do something @-@

Pac-Man comes from pakupaku (pakupaku here is translated as munch munch) so really, she's simply a Ms. PacMan with a normie roommate. Nothing to see, move along.

When there's no more ghosts, the PacPersons have to eat something to keep going.

No one has said it yet so I'll say it.
How can you say you love her if you can't eat the clone that splits from her as she's having a nightmare?

If she knocked out the clone before it ate the other one, would there be two of her in the morning?
Four on the next day?

This calls for more SCIENCE!

e: Actually, I forgot the name, but there's recently been a novel that's about a girl growing up where every time she gets injured a clone of her is born and immediately tries to kill her. So ever since she was small she has gone around killing herself.

I hate when I split in two after a nightmare. At least I don't need breakfast the next morning though.

Huh! She sure looked content after "eating herself." Lead is "lonely" when this happens and this event only happens when the other character has nightmares. And she is unaware of the event itself. Had me thinking it meant she changed after the ordeal but I guess not. Interesting. Really like this art.

Oh. Nice. My answer has a vague resemblance to this very nice take on it. And I'm usually terrible at these! Well. Still am really.

How dreams happen can vary from person to person. I can't think of a time when my dreams weren't first-person, for example. (My dreams also have this extremely weird habit of featuring people I know but they look nothing like that person and I only realize this after I've woken up. Same with coming really close to realizing I'm dreaming and only realizing it after waking up.)
