Oh my god, why the dad jokes sensei...

That's a busy author...

Explosive masquerade -> hopeless masquerade?

A monster-girl centric manga without it devolving into the typical harem garbage and instead focuses on the conflicts, social or otherwise, brought about by the inherent differences between them and normal people? What planet have I been living on and why haven't i migrated to this one?

Need Imizu Udonge.

Millet Soup's Patche x Alice has continuity though. Except for the one with Aya, I don't know where it stands.

At least this Shinki is loved by Alice. Suck on that Fuantei!

You should read Fuantei's concluding series about that; it ended very happily.

Looking at the art style and theme I would've said that the last pages was Zounose for sure.

Letty is not explored enough. She's canonically more than strong enough to cause an incident yet she gets overlooked because the spotlight is passed right over her.

Also in Reimu's defense, it doesn't look like she has much of a choice in the matter. She's literally not allowed to kill herself, and I'm pretty sure she's forced into enforcing Gensokyo's laws.

Really wish we would get more DOORS scans.

No, that's what I got out of it. Komachi was freaking out because souls aren't normally destroyed

Yeah I was a bit confused about the destroyed part because the Miare soul clearly still exists even though its' gone this process several times. I eventually just replaced the word 'destroyed' with 'purified' since what the court was doing was essentially resetting her her soul so she never has any issues with lingering regrets as a human.

That's still pretty harsh depending on a person's definition of self and because the story seems to imply that the court just throws out the bits that developed during the Miare's life like unnecessary trash; effectively the bits that would make Akyuu distinct from the other Miare's.

The only problem with this one is that I just can't understand Komachi's dilemma here. Even if Akyuu dies, Komachi just ferries her over to the afterlife and continues to drop in and spend time with her. For a shinigami who runs a ferry across the border between life and afterlife, the death of a friend should warrant no more emotional turmoil than a friend moving from one side of town to the other.

Usually this would be the case; but, from what I gathered, Akyuu's soul is treated specially from other souls and has her identity and personality from her life erased during the reincarnation ritual to preserve her Gumonji. That was presumably why Komachi went out of her way to acquire the executor shinigami privilege. So she could remove and preserve the part of her soul and personality that made her distinctly Akyuu, her friend, and not Aichi, Ani, Ami or any of the other Miare incarnations or the Miare she would reincarnate into.

Or I'm completely wrong and I'm dumb. That could work too.
