Maybe it’s a English slang loan word for pwn or own

Yeah, going to be real awkward and uncomfortable if the situation ever happens when or 'if' Worm waifu/GF of MC will ever kill another human person [MC would be fine with it if the human was a horrible scumbag, you know the type of people that rob, assault people and even murder other people but keeps getting let out of jail due to a broken law system lol...I think 'most' people would be fine with that except XD].

How did you end up turning into a fox news segment by the end of this??

Anyways I think that the concept of Takahashi needing to kill people to survive is a hard one to swallow, and in all likelihood there will be times in the future where she kills innocent people. Itou adheres to her own principles above all else, so I wonder what conclusion she will come to?

Having to deal with normal people...

Is it just me, or did the comedic first half of ch. 14 feel different? The humour previously has been much more subdued (imho not worth the Comedy tag) but that felt almost like Shinozaki-san. Who, now that I think about it, is pretty much antithetical in goals to Itou...

Shrug beats me, also is fox news really famous? I heard about occasionally every so often (Seen it mention in movies at least) so it must be famous enough or maybe silly enough? I am not knowledgeable about news sites or channels and there are so many news sites and channels to keep track of...plus I don't really watch the news at all (It was boring to me as a kid and boring to me even today...).

It Just a random useless sad comment about the sad reality of our broken law system (I was also just making a random comment about how MC probably would be fine if the person that her worm killed is a horrible person like a murder or something...which is also going to be hard to find though) T_T

Innocent people get put in jail or being punished overly harshly for just minor crimes while repeated offender or serious criminals seem to get lighter sentences...For example a guy whom most serious crime is smoking weed getting framed for murder and put in jail for like over 40 years (Only reason he got release due to one of the people involved confessing since guy responsible is dead I think)...really sad it happens but eh that is probably too off topic issue for this thread and story.

I am curious as well about MC reaction to worm waifu possibly killing a "Innocent" person (If MC does not end up dying in the future and they can't find an attractive female criminal) and if she could still stay with her despite her morals and likely conflicting feelings from the death of a 'innocent person'. Worm waifu got her body due to finding her already dead so yeah, guilt-free~!

EDIT: P.S- I almost thought those two girls were monsters at first and slender-chan had already started on her/his/it's project already but nope, false alarm lol XD

EDIT again for spelling mistakes.

She doesn't strictly need to kill people, given we now know all she needs is the skin. It seems to have been the safest way to do things. Otherwise, even a recently deceased elderly person would be an option if you could figure out how to skip medical appointments without scrutiny. Whoever left just the skin is likely still in the area and Itou doesn't mind "bad" people being killed, as well.

I'll be surprised if they go there with murder of the innocents. We only need Takahashi to care enough about Itou's feelings to be willing to put herself at risk of capture in order for Takashi to want to seek an alternative. This could easily be the case in a couple years. If this backfires, causing Takashi to be captured or at risk of it, and Itou has to save Takashi then there would even be room for some engaging plot points around that.

TL;DR I think everyone except the main human girl is actually monsters

Im glad I found another horror comedy that has that true horror vibe while being funny, I do have a theory that "humans are the actual monsters but the monsters mimicked them to take advantage of how easy human life is" mainly due to the slender man teacher, him / her saying to replace the class with monsters would be cool but I think the truth is that the whole school already is monsters and he just hasnt realised since he had no clue about other monsters

he didnt even know about the teacher getting murdered, which means he had no clue our main character is a monster so by that we know monsters cant identify other monsters and its highly likely we will get more monsters [my suspicion is the girl into older men is the monster even tho i think both are monsters]

this may seem a bit far fetched but just think about it logically our main girl got caught by a socially awkward loser and was killing in an area that often gets visited so we know these monsters arent good at hiding their killing [or atleast she isnt since she does admit to getting caught multiple times then just killing the witness]

the main character didnt know monsters existed before so its clear monsters arent believed to be real which is highly improbable with how easy it would be to catch them so my idea is that everyone is a monster so their constantly covering for eachother and is also why our human character is so socially awkward. she isnt trying to cover up anything since shes the only one that has nothing to cover up, her grandma is weird because their all human not a single one is a monster so they dont have to hide who they are

What a cliff hanger, just when I thought we could have some yummy side character yuri

I think it's neck rather than throat, as when I feel the gay chemicals rising to my head my neck overheats first. But throat also works since throat tight etc

Fashion, more scary than the monsters.

Well, by the end of the chapter the monsters certainly made sure to correct her opinion, though...

I REALLY don't think this series qualifies as yuri. Unless there are SEVERE extenuating circumstances, THAT is not a woman. THAT is a monster.

Not necessarily disagreeing on the yuri tag being somewhat loose here (…i do disagree a fair bit but like thats not the point- my only wish is to argue semantics) buuuut Monsters can totally be Women :3

…RIP, I somewhat doubt it was Takahashi who did it framing-wise+nonspecific-language-wise but this WOULD also be a good opportunity to re-emphasize the actual danger she poses

It's a bit too on the nose for it to be Takahashi. I mean, my first thought was "Wow, jelly much?" Cause of the attention our main girl got. But nah. Unless more plot twists are coming, of course.

There's a long history of queer horror, and queer themes explored through monstrous characters. Arguably the first modern "lesbian" work of fiction, Carmilla, is about an inhuman monster who wears the form of a woman and is mostly "involved" with other women

Lol, I do actually love the translation notes

So the teacher takes the appearances of the monster wife to kill the newfound friend and drama begins from here?
I like where this is going, the dynamic between the three mains, kinda, character is good.
Thanks for the chapter!

You're sorely mistaken, "Sensei".

And I guess we're now about to see the rest of the events leading to the previous chapter's ending.

I just love the art in this chapter. It really highlights the appeal of the series with the hyper-detailed and uncomfortable inhuman expressions being forced onto the human shells these monsters use. It feels like they are physically straining against the boundaries of their disguises in these moments

On mangadex, I was speculating about if Slenderman didn't understand human social relations, since he seems to not understand why Itou would keep caring about her first friend regardless of her appearance, or if he just finds Takehashi that unlikeable. Since he replaces people after taking on their appearance, he's not unbiased. Another person suggested it could be both.

Now I think there's a third possibility: he is trying to get Takehashi to self sabotage her friendship by convincing her it won't work out anyway. She has likely been burned before and has a hard time trusting others.

What I'm sure of is that taking Slenderman up on that offer to get a new suit wouldn't have gone well. At a minimum he was going to make Takehashi as ugly as possible.

Regardless, I'm really enjoying all the characters so far. Nobody really has any moral high ground and mostly they all want to be safe and accepted, but they have conflicting agendas and layered motivations. That means you never really know what's going to happen.e

The art really does sell it too. The panels like 104 are great, but throughout the story there is a lot of attention to their body language and facial expressions. If we had the same story with more stock character designs and emoting then I likely wouldn't have enjoyed it as much.

As unbelievable as it may be, I think this Kotaki girl might be onto something.

I call BS. This School life manga has been absolutely normal so far.

Nice "physical restraints"... :D

Now I wonder whom Kotaki suspects to be a monster and whether she's right.

Nice "physical restraints"... :D

I'm willing to put in a bet now that they get used on Itou, though who cuffs her and whether they wish to copulate are unknowns.

The clash of the autistics!! Which one will prove to be more "normal"...?! A heart-pounding yuri thriller-comedy!

Anyway Takahashi is definitely gonna wear Nienie's skin. After all, it won't degrade the same way. She just has to convince that thingy to copy her form and then she can go nom nom.

You think Kotaki is a monster hunter of some kind, or did she just know the real Takahashi before she died
