This almost felt like a chapter from another story, and not just because I forgot what happened in the first one. Even after reading the left turn felt somewhat jarring. Talk about Drama with a capital D.

I'm really at a lost to why people are jumping ship with this section of the story. I mean the parent story, Heart Gifts already set the precident of B - Movie grade science and drama. I guess some people just come here to read Love Live vanilla doujins...... freaks.

Oooo they're doing a good job establishing the characters and the backstory is interesting...
When's the next chapter being released? ^_^

I don't get it so far..

Mc is so intense it kinda worries me, she's pretty aggressive about it, it's unsettling, 0-100

It's not that we're opposed to drama, but that chapter was about as subtle as a gunshot and twice as loud. I get that our main character hates rich people but her personality is borderline unhinged here, and the only development she's getting is crazed ranting, which isn't really development.

Essentially, I can't empathize with either lead, so I'm not invested in their happiness.

I think I know what is going on.
Kita is a clone of Minami's mum. They underwent the same medical procedures because they had the same disease. Also, it is possible that the scar (which is not shown) could be a c section? That is not very likely, but it is possible given the technical advances in this manga.
Would this fall under incest? Probably, but I do not mi d one bit. I am looking forward to the next chapter.

Perhaps it's because I have a parent that lived in poverty is why I can understand Minami a bit more then the average reader. When you live in poverty and three square meals a day are not guranteed, that changes the way you act. It isn't like most anime when a character just grabs their stomach, groans and goes oh I guess I gotta power through it! There is allot of shame involved and you try to hide it and get really agitated whenever someone tries to provide assistance, because it is like you are admitting that you can't take care of yourself. You also fixate on a single entity that you can blame for your current situation, it's allot easier to power through a tough life when you have a target for you hatred and frustrations. Getting assistance from the source of your suffering is out of the question that would be like a person of Jewish decent accepting a position with the Gestapo.

Or using food stamps, depending on where you live and what that area's opinion of the government is.

I rate this manga 4/5 Joestars.

I don't think they are genetically step sisters.

I think the mother sold her uterus to some rich woman.

So, it's not technically incest. No need for the tag.

The scar on the stomach makes more sense then.

This has nothing to do with the story, but I really like that idolmaster credit page

Would "melodrama" perhaps be a more appropriate term here?

That's messed up, but I can see that happening, given the mad science that took place in Heart Gifts.

Hmm... whaaaaaaat?!??
Incest or not I love the art! lol

I know! I had to re-read the first chapter to remember what was happening and where we were. It does pretty much continue directly from the end of that chapter, though. It's just that the beginning of the first chapter is so different.

As for whether it is incest (not that it matters, it is a story folks, and an extremely far fetched science fantasy one at that) I am thinking it probably TECHNICALLY isn't. If you recall, the last thing Minami's 'mother' said to her was, "I'm not your mother!" In addition, Minami is obviously some sort of experimental subject herself, with her ultra high bone density and extreme speed, endurance, and strength. I mean, she was hit by a car and got up and ran home! Normal people don't do that! So I'd guess she and her 'mother' were both experimental subjects and for some reason her mother became unstable and ran off with her or something and the other girl is her clone.

I don't think they are genetically step sisters.

But isn't "genetially step sisters" the same as "genetically unrelated strangers"?

Half-sisters to be accurate.

But there's still something I don't quite understand :

Why would the mother say she's not her daughter? Maybe she just carried her with someone else's uterus ?

Why would she live in poverty and then abandon her to "go back to some rich people house"?

Jesus the art makes Minami look absolutely feral when she's upset which is basically all of the time.

Wtf xD i'm ..

Maybe they're not related.

Because that would be a spoiler, and Dynasty only does spoiler tags when it concerns het and dicks.

That's kind of messed up how you said that.

Fucking cliffhangers I hate that

I only relate what I observe. :^)

This unending parade of rage faces overflows the sentiment all the way back around to funny.

WHAY'S GOING ON?!?! Is this something like clones and stuff or something?? I mean i thought that one mother was the gf and their child but it was the mother and the tomboy who looks just like the gf but she said she's her mom, she's the mother of the gf too but that looks more relatable... What??

Please enjoy the gut-wrenching conclusion!

what the fuck am I reading, the first two parts were VAUGLEY coherent, this is not
