only up from here my fellow adachi supporters

This is such a sad manga. I hate seeing Adachi fall into these toxic and obsessive patterns, and I love the author for that.
This dynamic of seemingly outwardly cold, but that being a misread of the person's internal monologue contrasted with a person frustratedly obsessed with the love they share to a degree that is unhealthy to both parties... It hits too close to home, and I'm glad it was written

Even if she's "pretending like Adachi meant it", it says a lot that Shima actually decided to send a heart as her reply as well.

Agreed! Their dynamic is very interesting here and in the novels.

The key to a good relationship is to never show affection. Now I know where I've strayed.

Aw, Shimamura, you seductress, you!

lol! she really said "TLDR"

Nice.

hype

Cute. ^_^

So what role does the self-proclaimed alien, Yashiro, have in the story or is it just LN's mascot? Or is it the author's preference that's why he added it, because the LN author also wrote a series about alien girls

As someone with BPD this series hits way too close to home.

Like, I'm just doing a surface scan of this series and checking out Adachi's rant and jesus christ. Every aspect, every single chapter I check out, even out of context, is like, FUCK I'm in this picture and I fucking hate it. Ch 28? Been there, done that. Ch 30.1 when you're trying to pull away and make new friends and stop orbiting your world around that one person? Been there done that. Even that one bit where you feel crazy trying to ask them to hang out and they're like, sorry I have to do this thing. This whole insecurity and abandonment fixation? Been there. Done fucking that. Fuck me. I wish this series wasn't like, a horrific deepdive into the worst part of my brain. I want to consume this series so much but every time I try it's like I'm getting a mirror pointed straight at my face. Anyways I know nothing about this series but I assign Adachi chronic depression. She should get some help.

Shimamura's moments with Gon are easily some of my favorite moments in the LN. I'm glad to see they're still good in the manga as well. One of those struggles that is just a hard fact of life with pets, and it's so painfully relatable.

Little Shima and Gon are adorable. ^_^

And so are the older ones.

Yeah I love Shimamura's pov in general but her thoughts about Gon are some of the best.

Wtfox? Recently one of the dog of my house

Shimamura being naturally introspective and self reflecting is definitely a pretty key part of her character. It's one of the things that didn't translate in the anime.

Another very nice chapter. ^_^

I was getting worried that this is gonna get dropped. Glad to see that it's back!

Is dangerous send this type of photo...

shimamura whats your damage. i mean i know what it is but jesus she is cold

This relationship feels kinda sad? Not sure. Does it eventually going to lead somewhere?

A very existential chapter. I never understand this "couple." The one girl makes stoic seem positively ebullient, revelling in detachment.

As alluded to in this chapter, she's named after it, so that fits (especially in the novels). I love her introspection and general outlook, though. She takes things very calmly, at her own pace and is honest about herself. She's also quite nice and thoughtful. A very intentional and unique character.

Why is it chapter 34, but the title is chapter 37.1?
