Chito and Yuuri's "role" in this gives me some real "Waiting for Godot"/"Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead" vibes. Where's my absurdist post-modern play starring them, tkmz?

I'm almost (kinda) tempted to try and write it myself.

It's chapters like these that remind me that we, the audience, are just as much victims of Hino's teasing and misdirection as Koguma is. The mangaka wants us as blue-balled as the characters, if not worse. But I love it.

Audibly cursed at the end of the chapter, though.

The depiction of Ichika as just a completely smitten maiden is really great. Not something you see too often.

Agreed, Ichika is entirely head over heels, and even better, she isn't in denial or "but we're both girls, so it can't be love"-mode.

This reminds me to that Kim Possible fanfiction, "Alone Together". I think that was the one that got me into KIGO. Except that Kim and Shego were send to an alternate universe where all people vanished at that same instant.

That's exactly what I thought of when I read this. Kinda made me want to go back and read "Alone, Together" again.

She just have a headache, I don't understand the "going insane" scenario every time.. there's people who survive living alone in the countryside, or with only their family, they have each other and they have animals too.

It's one thing to live a quiet life in the country. You still have the knowledge that your family and friends are alive and hopefully happy somewhere. It's quite another when everyone you know is dead for a reason you don't even know. That's harrowing. Not to mention that the one person left with you, who you love, might vanish the same way.

Only slightly related, but besides having pills (antidepressants?) on the window sill, Acchan was both more excited over the booze and she went for it more/more quickly. I'm not going to scream "addict!" or something, but these are just additional hints that Acchan probably isn't coping as well as she'd admit to (like she earned like she was trying to with the "I'm so happy" narration in the end)
