Any particular reason it was 14 chapters at once and not released over a slower period of time?

Releases were over a year behind, and Waterflame wanted to catch up before the anime aired. I think the team did all these chapters in the past 6 weeks.

"I killed someone."
"...Okay."

Shio's great.

But wow, Shio's backstory. Her mom's backstory. It feels like good, kind people just can't survive in this world :c

And Suu, Suu is alive! There's hope!

The happy, "sweet" moments in Satou's and Shio's life are making me feel bad for Asahi, we are slowly inching towards the boiling point there.

Yeah, Shio's response there was my favorite part. The author has been teasing us for so long about what would happen if Shio found out about Satou's... indiscretions, and when she finally told her the truth, Shio barely reacted at all.

On the other hand, Yuuna's story was just the worst. It was just so unnecessarily fucked up. When I first picked up Chapter 29 and saw on the first page she was pregnant, I think I put it down and didn't look at it again for over a month. Same thing with the part in Chapter 30 where her parents died. Of course I knew these things were coming, but it was just so unpleasant to read.

My prediction now (and I can actually make predictions because the releases are up-to-date with the original!) is that Satou and Shio will never make it out of the country. Or even out of the city.

Wow, that is a lot of this series to take in at once

Shio has a personality and agency now! And is totally on board with Satou's craziness, which I wouldn't have expected

Shio's backstory is some depressing shit. Sato's actually doesn't seem that bad?

In the present day things seem to be going too well, which makes me think the climax is soon

The saddest victim in this whole story is Shio's mom. Honestly though I think she shoulda become tougher, her personality is too weak and if she happens to remarry again the same thing will happen because she's too submissive. A guy she just met dragged her in the street and she didn't bother to scream and resist. At least that's as much info as I can gather from the story. I don't want to see as though I'm victim blaming because the faults are with the parents and the piece of trash "husband", but she could have done something more for her own children and herself. Run to a woman shelter or police and report him would help.

Shio's mother's story was very hard to read. She didn't deserve any of that and her life just spiraled into the worst possible thing through no fault of her own. And it made it worse that we knew it would end with her being alone.

Damn it all i'm starting to love Sato's aunt despite (or maybe due to) her craziness. Looking a lot like Plutia helps as well.

Wow, Yuuna (Shio's mom, I'm bad with names) she was really fucked up, i mean, she surely had a terrible run.

Sato's auntie...dat woman is mad as fuck, gotta love her.

I read all the new releases in one sitting, didn't even go to pee, god this is s good, I wonder how good the anime will be.

Oh shit, I didn't realize the anime was coming out in literally two days! This is amazing! My uncle has an Amazon Prime subscription, so perhaps I should ask for his account to watch this. Then again, this is the kind of anime I don't want to tell anyone about, so I'll probably just find a streaming site elsewhere. I really hope it's good... it seems this is Studio Ezo'la or whatever's first project, so I'm a bit doubtful, but hopefully it works out all the same.

Also, yeah, poor Yuuna... those chapters were horrible to read, but I suppose they were unfortunately necessary to finally develop Shio's backstory more and all that... I thought she'd died before the story started, but it looks like I was mistaken. I hope things go well for her in the end, but, yeah, that's probably not gonna happen. Things probably won't go well for anyone, really, but I can hope...

There is so much fluff for Shiro and Sato I don't trust it.

Your institution might be correct on this. I've read /seen enough no-happy to know where this is going.

...fuck it... choo-choo! All aboard the depression train!

God hates us all but he hated her above all!

I'm so wishing for the two to be together forever but this manga just kept pointing to an imminent bad ending and there's no way to predict what's gonna happen next. Dammit! Please don't kill the ship!

I just found out that Kagisora Tomiyaki is a guy. For some reason that makes the manga seem much more creepy, to me.

I know what you mean that definitely makes the story creepier.

That definitely makes it creepier, especially with all the sexual violence that happens.

Though I don't think it was unexpected.

While Sato's is still bad, it seems that she's pretty much just a run of the mill psychopath for the most part

I don't know what is the disturbing twist. Sato murdering Shouko, or the total pedophile turn Sato and Shio's relationship just took.

So, in thinking about the moral/ethical hierarchy of (mostly bad) actions in this story, I got to wondering:

What’s the healthiest relationship in the series?

Shouko/Asahi, right? There's nothing internally wrong with that one, relatively speaking.

I mean, aside from one of them being dead, I imagine that would makes things a little more complicated.
