…Okay, that "ghost Kon" theory seems weirdly plausible after rereading the whole thing. >.>

There's narrative content that could support it, but personally I don't think it's likely to be the case. Certainly, at the very least, Kon thinks she's alive and a normal girl.

My theory that Kon is a ghost/spirit that only Furuka can see is becoming more and more believeable.

I wonder why Furuka is so uncomfortable when talking to the kids… It’s not just that they’re too noisy, she seems to have an almost allergic reaction to them…

Not really. Kon is clearly heard and seen by people in the first chapters. Her mother and her brother for example.

Waitaminute, has Kon disappeared for real? I remember she was gone after making love with Furuka, but I thought she had just returned home!

If she has vanished, people should be making a ruckus! Especially her family and Furuka! Especially if there's reason to think she's in the cave with the monster!!

Did she really just jump off a cliff to save her phone?

She didn’t really "jump", she tried to catch it and fell in the process.

^ yes? I mean it wasn't overtly displayed but the things being said overlayed with the images we were given kinda gives that away

No. Read that part again. None of them adressed Kon. When the brother said "sis" he could be talking about the woman coocking. Never It was said she was the boy's mother.

The bullies talked only with Furuka, never to Kon. When that flying bitch said Furuka was "beside that thing" she could be talking about the abolones altar thing.

Kon herself Said everyone in her school ignored her. She was never seen holding a conversation with anyone, but Furuka.

Yeah buthere, Kon really seem to answer to the little kid. It's her who said they're Kaijuus not the other person and judging by how the littlekid continue, he seem to have heard her.

^ About that page… It’s interesting because it’s actually a bit more ambiguous in Japanese, due to how interchangeable names and pronouns are.

Shiro: "Tsuuka, kore ningyô chau mon!!"
Kon: "Kaijû naa…"
Shiro: "Kaijû wa kono shima ni mo Hisondon ya de!! Sou… ano ’Kaijuu ana’ ya. Kon-nee mo mukashi mita ttsuttotta shi." ("There’s a kaijû on this island too! Ya know… in that ’Monster’s hole’. Kon-nee even said that she saw it once.")
Mom(?): "Ii kara katazuke naa!"
Kon: "Anta ni sono hanashi shitakke…?"

I naturally assumed he was addressing her directly when I translated, henche the "you", but he could just as well be talking about her.

And between that chapter and the latest one, he only seems to talk about Kon in the past tense (he doesn’t seem panicked about her disappearance either). Sooo… nothing’s sure, but if Kon was dead all along, it would still make sense.

Or maybe we’re just reading too much into it. :P

I'll stand by what I said last chapter in regards to the "ghost Kon" theory: There's narrative content that could support it, but personally I don't think it's likely to be the case. Certainly, at the very least, Kon thinks she's alive and a normal girl.

I will say the current chapter indicates pretty strongly that there must be some connection between her and the monster. We'll have to wait another couple of years to get enough chapters to find out anything for sure.

Yes, yes. But the kiddo didn't answer her back. There are several stories out there where the ghost\spirit doesn't know they are dead and try to interact with the living. Just see the Sixty Sense.

And it's probably just a trailer for the manga release. Can not believe it's the second lately i got baited with animated trailer, between that and Holo Alternative.

These sort of animated commercials mean the the publisher is confident in the work, and generally they'll get a full anime later. ...But I'm not sure this series will ever be long enough for that? At least the PV is great
