That was quite desolate. But I suppose the punchline will be that time is no longer absolute and Shimeji returns after what she thinks was twenty minutes.

fun concept well implemented!

Ever noticed this manga is literally "I'm edgy: the series" or "I'm weird. I'm a weirdo. I don't fit in: the manga" ???

you mean, "but I'm a creep. I'm a weirdo. What the hell am I doing here? I don't belong here: the manga"?

you mean, "Why so green and lonely? Heaven sent you to me: the manga"?

Gokigen yo! Would a Prestigious Academy tag be superfluous?

a) last page so funny, b) author still exists!!!11!!

I have such a cynical view of the manga industry that I'm continually surprised by how something this unpredictable and unclassifiable hasn't been axed.

Frankly I was hoping for a Shakespearean tragedy ending... but I guess this is fine if you think of the story as a horror comedy, all the dark backstories notwithstanding.

Not keen on this, first the guy earns zero sympathy for his sob story. "Huhuh, I have a strong sex drive, so I'm gonna cheat on my girlfriend and cause her to frequently go get drunk and vent in a pub. Because I cherish her, of course."

He's an idiot and insensitive. Worthless as a boyfriend and as a friend. What exactly was the takeaway of this chapter ?

I was laughing all the way through that.

but that's... rowland s. howard?

This one looks very pleasantly gloomy.

Lots of effort going into this. For now I'm figuring the guy going in was the ghost of her ex-husband.

The way Shimeji is drawn in the bottom panel of page 5 and the next page made me do a double take - more delicate and expressive than Tsukumizu's usual lumpy potato head style. For a moment there I had the feeling of a sudden shift towards some previously unseen reality in the narrative.

I was little worried this might turn out another one-chapter wonder. Thanks to the translators!

I've been imagining her husband as having been like the guy in Useless Ponko.

I've also been waaaiiiiting for a new chapteeeeeeeer

Oh right, I figured anyone named Miyako would have to be a woman.

Page 5 - who's Miyako?

The media in the Taisho era were not very different from the media today, I see.

Whenever I read about cultural developments and movements in early modern Japan, an account of how newspapers dogpiled on it is a standard feature.

-> savage newspaper headline = funny period flavor

Taishō best period! This looks like it might fit nicely on the heels of My Master Has No Tail.

Chapter 72 went up three weeks ago. Dynasty is a little behind.

Those flashbacks of comments from years ago are so relatable and frustrating.

I can't help being a tragedy fiend but what I'd like in the near future is a chapter sketching out how Chizuru's dealing with heartbreak.

It's great when big name authors deliver stuff like this.

Welp, here's the drama.

I was so turned off by the "kill monsters - pick up loot - sell in town" scenario that MagiReco presented in the intro of the first episode that I summarily dismissed it, but just now I soldiered through the rest of the first episode and it doesn't look entirely hopeless after all. I know nothing about the story beforehand though.

Bus-kun is idling right behind the corner.
