She’s gonna get eated

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

the author really did us good by manipulating our heartstrings and making us think we'd get the ship sailing and then giving us pain and deceit huh

yooooo, that better not be a 'bad touch' lady...

The fact the woman was a monster was phoned in for a few chapters. No surprise there.

I really hoped the obvious foreshadowing would not come to pass.

Alas... unless?

Yeah since this chapter was called the other side of humanity I assumed as well that she’d be a “human” monster. Rapey first then when the axe popped up I thought maybe axe murderer? But I guess not

I can't help feel like Miko deserves to be in a better yuri manga with better characters, because good Madoka almighty I'm getting tired of the two main characters.

Well, that was a surprise. Based on her exact words, though, I wonder what happened in her own past...

everyone is so sus dammit

I mean we all saw this coming. tbh with the whole axe thing and the dead step daughter I was kinda thinking she wasn't a monster and was just some psycho ass serial killer for a second though lol. And for not caring and not wanting to be her friend she sure jumped out of her seat and is looking for her pretty franticly she can't keep denying it's only for food purposes forever.

"Don't misunderstand, I just didn't want someone else to get to my food!" /tsundere

That's 100% what's gonna happen, though Hinako isn't exactly buying it anymore, and Shiori also knows that it's not true :D
I think only Miko is still completely fooled.

No surprises there, but I liked the reveal of what kind of monster she was (I asume she can only be perceived as a monster once the other mouth opens, explaining why Shiori and Miko weren't suspicious of her).

Also, I feel like if Shiori only cared about Hinako as a rare and exquisite meal, she would be angry about others trying to eat her, but here she seeems worried. I don't know, it feels Shiori cares about Hinako but I'm not convinced their limited interactions would be enough to turn her from "I only want to eat the best food" to "I don't anyone to hurt Hinako".

The more background we get the more I feel that Shiori never actually saw her as just food and that that was always more a ruse than the actual plan, which goes back years before they met, with Shiori being somehow involved in the accident and Hinako's survival. We'll see, I could very well be wrong.

Yeah, that's where I'm at as well. After all, in chapter 1 Shiori said she had been looking for Hinako for a long time, or something along those lines, and it's a generic enough phrase to mean "I detected you aroma and I was looking for you" or "I met you a long time ago and I came to find you/save you".

I knew it, it's Mawile.

The story and art are so good, I am honestly very impressed with each new chapter. I am kinda hoping for a bittersweet Scarlet ending

Thanks for the link! And the legends certainly line up perfectly with what we've seen so far, including not being perceived as a monster until the second mouth activates. Even knowing what she is, though, the question of which of the various origins applies here still remains - including whether the second mouth is hers or her step-daughters. Knowing that she said the step-daughter died young and the second mouth talking about getting slashed, it may well be the version with the step-daughter becoming the second mouth, but there's also always a small chance of her husband taking the axe to her instead, possibly to avenge his daughter.

"In another story, the extra mouth is formed when a stingy woman is accidentally hit in the head by her husband's axe while he is chopping wood, and the wound never heals. Other stories have the woman as a mother who lets her stepchild die of starvation while keeping her own offspring well fed; presumably, the spirit of the neglected child lodges itself in the stepmother's or the surviving daughter's body to exact revenge.,"

So if we use Japanese's mermaid folklore, the ending will be our MC eating the fish girl instead and continue to suffer for eternity, or at least 800 years to muster the courage to end her own life.

That's Omake-level stuff then.
