An upset!

So it was established that Tokiko's good at shiritori from way back then that's why Satsuki couldn't win.

Finding out Aoya's backstory actually shocked me. That panel of his sister with the cord wrapped around her neck, man. Absolutely brutal.

Tokiko tries John Wick method, but with her strength, I guess it would be more like John Weak :v

I don't think he's gonna comply though...

The way he keeps asking the "sister" to forgive him was weird as fuck. I think he plans on killing her last, since she's pure + someone who forgives him, so by killing him he'll be reborn or some shit.

Edit: forget to add this - Thank you very much for 2 chapters in a row, noighd!!

let's go girlboss Tokiko, I wonder if she'll still be "pure" enough for him to want to kill and eat her now. After all murder does make one a monster and even if she only threatens that might be enough to no longer qualify as Aoya's final meal of redemption.

Tokiko and Natsuki's backstory is so cute

There's only one more volume left right? I'm really looking forward to how this ends.

YAS TOKIKO SLAY THE CHILDREN

This is a lot more tightly written than a lot of other mystery series. The more you learn, the more things actually make sense. Contrast with something like Death Note, where it's more about seeing how much random bullshit the author can throw at you to keep you distracted (sorry to people who like that series, I loved it when I was younger but coming back to it makes you realize that it's really dumb)

I was actually completely convinced she didn't kill anyone in her family. I don't think she's talking about her nee-san either. This is really exciting.

I love myself a good badass protagonist. But Im quite sure the handle of the knife has no metal contacts...

We getting into endgame now, feels like. Tokiko's done taking shit xD

Another important facet here is that if you go with the theory that the curse or whatever has been causing the accidental deaths around her has an emotional trigger (whether negative in general or aimed at Tokiko), this is probably going to make Aoya vulnerable. Up until now he's been fairly detached from the whole business, it's a regrettable necessity from his perspective, but for all that he planned far ahead it still wasn't personal.

Now though? Even if he's just going through the motions with replacement little sister (which I doubt, whether or not he was going to kill her too at some point) she just stepped right onto what ought to be a major trauma button of his. I don't think he will be maintaining his calm.

The part where she killed one of her own family member, I think this is the part the dead detective figured out right before dying

Not surprised that she killed someone before. I am surprised however at how quickly she set that up.

Ohhh nice!!! I for a moment thought she'd not kill anyone, then again she really shined being smart there! I wonder who she killed before! :D Favourite MC of this year for me, goooo Tokiko-san!!!!!

Tokiko really is girlbossing hard right now, get em girl, kill that asshole have some fun with it, I'm here for you.

I wonder if she's claiming responsibility for Takahito and Ayako's son Ayato's death. It's brought up in passing, but surprisingly, the Kurosus don't really mention it, so maybe there's more to the story.

Speaking of family, I'm curious as to why Tokimune was the one who adopted Tokiko, considering that Tokiko's about as old as her older siblings' children.

Oooo. Interesting!

Okay, I know you can't really expect a psycho serial murderer to actually think rationally, but... His whole purification theory makes no sense at all? If murdering someone is what makes you a monster, how is murdering more people going to turn you back to a human? Like, his twisted idea of drinking "pure" blood would make some sense if, say, someone else procured the blood and offered it to him? But him killing more people in the process of purifying himself is self-contradictory.

Nazi ufos.

An upset!

Tokiko! With the buzzer beater!

Rip Tokiko’s dreams

Holy moly, I didn't expect her to have actually killed somebody.

Also, does anybody know what the other manga is that they're referring to in the credits page?
