oh no Miya isn't sane too

battle of the crazies

Oooh the confrontation, I'm excited... this one lost me for a little bit but the last few chapters have pulled me back in. I'm especially interested in how Eko will deal with Miya after finally being affected by her mom's death.

I honestly thought she'd ambush her and make quick work of the murder.
How naive of me.

Agreed, I’m surprised that Eko didn’t ambush her with a kill shot. Only reason I can think of is that she wants to get some information about Risa from her, but I’m not sure what she could think Miya knows that Eko couldn’t learn more safely by asking Rika or independently sleuthing.

Yeah, the whole ambush tactic is the most logical option, no idea how they'll justify that she didn't.

this is a really depressing manga

I'm glad this manga is kinda going down the unpredictable route

To be fair, if the first conclusion she came to when learning of Miya's existence was "ok let's kill her", then she's already not the most logical person out there.

Part of me thinks it would be a hilarious turn of events if Eko got killed by Miya, but after that I have no idea where this would go.

Rookie mistake, honestly... If you're planning to kill someone, don't engage them in conversation first.

...I've read about that in a book. Y-Yeah, a book. About murders and stuff.

I think it will be hilarious/terribly tragic (same thing in this case) whichever way it goes.

Calling it now: all three will be in that room in a three-way Mexican standoff while "The ecstasy of gold" plays on the backround, for this movie "The Yandere, the also yandere, and the other yandere".

I'm also jumping on this being a three-way freak fest. The whole rest of the series is Eko and Miwa trying to kill each other behind Risa's back, meanwhile Risa is killing every bystander they come across to protect her friends.

It's always awkward when your old friends meet your new friends.

Remember the scene in Kill Bill when "The Bride" and "Copperhead" are fighting and then Copperheads child comes in? I'm going to take a guess it's going to be something like that with Rika walking in ... perhaps, I'm usually wrong ;p

Additional to what others have said, Eko has been showing cracks in her resolve lately. Small bits and pieces - not enough to not..ya know..hide a chef's knife in her coat - but she's shown a little bit of movement on her position.

I think it'll make for a fun dynamic if the three of them are all together moving forward if Miya is spared in the end.

this is such a strange series, I reread to see why I dropped it and I see now why haha

Aaah the confrontation we've been building toward, I really like it... it's good to see Eko struggling with being the yandere murderer she's hyped herself up to be. I really like Miya offering to be her friend too and how much she struggles with that... I hope Miya survives... I'm guessing what happened to her is some kind of zombie virus effect?

Welp...The smartest and most logical solution for MC was to kill Miya ASAP an ambush like me and many other thought and suggested but she didn't do that.

I am starting to wonder what happen to that group of survivors...Because MC does not show any signs or experience in killing people...so either that means A.) Risa is responsible (unconscious attack them?), B.) It was truly a group conflict where they all killed each other...ironic if MC's suggestion on what happen was true C.) Random zombie or invader/raider got in and they accidentally killed each other in the conflict, the raider/invader looting their stuff. D.) -insert other reason-

Risa conflicted about meeting Miya due to being half-zombie. Miya feeling guilty and conflicted about killing her mother...and MC feeling hesitant and guilty about trying to kill Miya due to jealousy.

Really hope Miya is not dead and probably might turn into a half-zombie like the comment above suggested....Either that or she just passed out from exhaustion/Stress/hunger (Perhaps her mother was not feeding her enough food, it Z-Day/Dooms Day after all.) ...Going to be weird and awkward if Miya just randomly suddenly dies like that...

The poly-3some route still 'might' possible and have a chance of happening lol...Assuming Miya is not dead.

Welp...The smartest and most logical solution for MC was to kill Miya ASAP an ambush like me and many other thought and suggested but she didn't do that.

It was a sign of her hesitation. Deep down she wasn't sure she wanted to kill Miya, and was hoping to psych herself up while talking to her (maybe if she found Miya particularly hatable) or, deeper down, was hoping Miya would convince her not to go through with it.

I like the theory that Eko is some kind of carrier for the virus.

Oh, Miya is definitely going to be a zombie isn't she.

oh no Miya isn't sane too

Nobody is. The Y virus is widespread. These aren't Romero zombie, these are Aishi zombies.

Perhaps we are headed in a new direction

I always thought it was C personally; Risa goes out for fresh air and Eko goes out after her, leaving the cameras unwatched (the girl who initially let them in was asleep). We're not explicitly shown, but I figured Eko left the doors open with how little she cares about anyone who isn't Risa and zombies could have gotten in while the two protags were having their bonding moment.
