Welp. She's dead.

Omae wa mou shindeiru

Man. Mitsuboshi has got to be the least effective accomplice ever. Not only was he being super obvious, he nearly lead Asahi right to Shio! Though I have to wonder, seeing as he was basically repeating what Sato told him to say, maybe he was set up and Sato wanted him to be caught.

Sato's friend screwed up pretty bad too. Darn japanese cameras and their required shutter sounds. Though I doubt Sato's going to do anything while Shio's there to witness it. She might still have a chance to escape.

The cat is out of the bag. Shio may stop satou from harming that girl but
The hell will happen now?!

Wait what, is that not a major screw up? What's she going to do with Shio standing right there?

Invite her inside I guess? Satou may play 'shio's a distant relative' card.

RIP Sato's friend.

Even if she doesn't do anything right away (since Shio is right there) you KNOW she's officially on Sato's shit list.

And that is not a good place to be.

Oh no, Satou's friend, she wasn't sure if she was evil or something, from what I can understand, but now... and that guy Mitsuboshi... lame ass liar dude. I'm so happy this was a double release <3

:O I couldn't help but to go and "read" (cos I can't really read it) the raws..whoa I am sooo pumped for this story.

Honestly @sato's friend, what did you think was going to happen when you took that photo????!

shit got real, RIP Sato's Friend.

Wow, it's been a while, and this story is intense as always. I couldn't help but go ahead and read the raws...

Sato-chan is a murderer! RIP, friend-chan. We finally get insight on Shio-chan's mind and her past. There are quite a few chapters on her mom and her, and they were interesting. Mom-chan is too much of a precious child who didn't deserve what happened to her.
Sato and Shio finally get into a fight and talk it out (if it really counted), kind of developing, I suppose. How our protagonists met is finally revealed, and it was really really nice.
And we also get to see more into Sato too, like her relationship with her aunt and a realization on how she defines love.

God that sucks... It hit me harder than expected, the only one who liked Sato genuinely in a not insane way... I'm not sure I still want to read this now ;D

Apparently this shit got an anime announcement.

Anime for this is going to be either a trainwreck or amazing.

I still wish we could get some yuri anime that portrays functional relationships, but this could be super fun!

Apparently this shit got an anime announcement.

Holy fuck it's too early for April fools, plz no

We're getting an anime! I wonder if that poll influenced it after all.

If they're announcing it now, then they've probably been planning it for half a year or more.

Also, I haven't been able to find any official announcement, just a bunch of blog posts and such. Volume 7 comes out on the 22nd, so maybe they'll announce it then. I'll be somewhat skeptical until it's officially confirmed.

The manga is going to get an anime adaption!

So that's our first look at the artstyle the anime will have. It's cute~

I think they had Hana Kana voicing Satou in one of the advertisements for the manga. I wonder if they'll get her for the series as well.

Edit: Never mind, it's written on their website. No need to wonder.

I hope the anime will be on Crunchyroll

I first heard of this manga through the anime announcement. I then immediately binge read all 22 chapters. GODDAMN CLIFFHANGERS!

Looking forward to the anime, though. Could easily be a train wreck, but the discussions it might spawn from people going in blind should be more than enough for it to be entertaining for me. Please, the world needs more official canon yuri relationships.

Finally, regarding plot of the story itself... Spoiler warning, as I have no idea how to do spoilers on mobile, but I'm only going to mention content that's available to be read here, and fairly vaguely at that anyways.

Above all else I want to mention that I get the feeling this might become something at least slightly... supernatural? Because, good god, this little town has an abnormally high concentration of batshit crazy people. Nearly every single character that's served a role beyond background character is utterly frothing mad. I find it quite interesting that little abducted girl's brother (?) equated her warming presence to thatof the moon. Normally, when talking about a person's radiant smile and charisma, they might compare it to the sun. But he very much specifically mentioned the moon a couple of times. And though I'm not sure if it was simply added by the scanlator team, or was part of the official raw pages, there was a brief line on the border of one of the opening pages that mentioned the archaic definition of lunatic. Paraphrasing here, but, "Lunatic - a person who has been driven insane by exposure to the moon".

Basically every single person we've seen that has been in contact with abductee loli has since behaved, well, like a goddamn lunatic. Though we haven't seen much any of MC prior to her meeting abductee loli, crazy-lolicon-co-worker-schoolboy-rape-victim-guy seemed to be a perfectly normally functioning member of society prior to lunar loli (and also getting raped. That's also probably a factor).

Anyways, regardless, as sometimes silly as this story may be, I have been thoroughly entertained. Not to mention, also thoroughly disappointed by catching up to the translations just in time for a big cliffhanger. Poor normal friend-chan is clearly best girl, but I now greatly fear for her life since she has intruded upon psycho MC's love nest... Not to mention, it was awfully dumb to just stand in plain view and snap a pic of the evidence. Oh, poor foolish lonely girl... you only meant well... kinda.

Here's the trailer!

Because, good god, this little town has an abnormally high concentration of batshit crazy people.

That kept me away from this one for a long time. I read the first few chapters, and it was, “new character = horrible person,” “Oh, maybe this one’s nice” > “Nope, utterly warped and insane,” “So, those bags—not just trash, huh?,” etc.

Much later I realized that this story was not actually set in our world but on Planet Creepoid, where what counts as “good” is a moment-to-moment thing, and where deluded friend is ultimately better off where she ends up. So now it’s, if not “fun,” rather . . . interesting.

I just noticed something. If you compare chapter 18 to chapter 21, it appears that in chapter 18 Satou gave Mitsuboshi Shio's sock, but in chapter 21 Mitsuboshi gives Asahi Shio's necktie (the one she wears in flashback sequences before Satou got her, and on the poster).

Previously I had assumed they were the same item. No idea if this has any significance. Except that I guess Mitsuboshi probably still has that sock.
