Datamining techniques are getting more elaborate

LMAO

I’m guessing Aya will go through the “does Mitsuki have a brother who looks exactly like her and works at the record shop?” arc before everything comes into light lol

She's obedient to just about anybody, except in certain conflicting moments where a greater authority's involved, yet she greatly admires Satsuki's independence.

Nice catch. I was reading the past comments and people were mentioning that Komachi might be working under the stuCo. I wonder if Komachi has a hierachy of people she listens to. It would fit in with your catch.

Though here's a bit of tangential speculation on chapter 44. It sticks out how unnaturally excited she gets at the prospect of helping Satsuki kill herself. And the way she comforts her, saying she knows how scary it is to die. Ryouko was satisfied with how her expression turned out in that scene, saying "she looks just like a monster." And to anyone who's read Ryouko's previous manga, monster is a loaded term reserved for murderers. It's just something to think about, whether Komachi's had firsthand experience with death.

Oh snap, Ryouko said “she looks just like a monster”? Now this is interesting… We can start to see some similarities between Ryouko’s previous manga’s protag and Komachi: little/strange sense of survival instincts (Komachi smiling through her being bullied by Miho), and taking others’ wishes at face value.

Ryouko also tweeted that chapter 51 marks a stopping point in the conflict between Satsuki and the student council, so maybe things will slow down now. The last 20 chapters have been relentless and Satsuki desperately needs a chance to recover.

Nice! It has been way too violent for Satsuki. I want some calming moments for her, though most likely Komachi will somehow act up again lol.

I am a bit late, but I think I’m able to conclude that Komachi’s personality revolves around a single motto:

“if that’s what you want, I will help you, no matter how twisted it is. If it’s not, I will help you realize what you want.”

A neatly caught motto. Especially as this motto takes into account the potential death of Komachi.

Shoot, have we been thinking that Komachi will potentially die.. she's twisted but at this point I really want her to live lmao she's an enigma

I am a bit late, but I think I’m able to conclude that Komachi’s personality revolves around a single motto:

“if that’s what you want, I will help you, no matter how twisted it is. If it’s not, I will help you realize what you want.”

1/ Komachi tells Satsuki to stop telling people they are going to die because she thinks Satsuki actually does not want to do it. She says “If you don’t like it, you shouldn’t have to do it. […] Even if not doing it meant something bad happens.”

However, right after Satsuki explains that what she wants is getting out of there and not wanting to make things worse, Komachi agrees to help right away, with the reason being “If that’s what you want, I will help you.”

-> Komachi does not care about doing "the right thing" but rather "the thing Satsuki wants."

2/ Such helping proves to be fatal when Komachi almost killed Satsuki by “helping her die.” Komachi misunderstood Satsuki when she said “help me” as she understood it as “help me die.” She later realizes the misinterpretation and says “so you weren’t committing suicide.” It’s scary how she never apologized.

The true mysteries are:
1/ Who is Komachi willing to listen to?
2/ How did she become such a person?

Sorry for rambling about Komachi when the latest chapter has someone dying. lol

I don’t think she’s dead. Theory: the lightning struck her backpack (which has metal in it), and since shes drenched and standing around water, she happens to take some damage.

I agree with everyone’s theory on how Seo is the mastermind here.

This arc is so good!
