Healing licking girl! NOOOOOOOOOO~ ;A;
Died as she lived, being a good girl. Damn it!
Even, Nana is destroyed by it. And that after she nearly died to protect her best friend instead of killing her...
Chapter 29 will be very interesting to see what gonna happen next.
Huge update from ch.19 to ch.35. So much changed. Loved the twist of how the survivor from five years ago was not in his true body the whole time or how the big bad guy was a truly gifted manipulator (Goddamn bastard shooting Michiru!) and ofc how Michiru died and how her friendship and sacrifice finally managed to change Nana and her mindset. Now Nana got a kouhai who just waits to find a good reason to kill Nana and she still has to kill talented else sooner or later she really will get killed herself. Her expression at the latest chapter though thinking about her first victim makes it clear though that her killer instinct is pretty much gone. I don't think this girl got it in her to keep killing but I also believe that she will be forced to kill a couple more times.
Got caught up to the latest chapter over the weekend.
Spoiler for Spoiler up to chp 87:
This series continues to be entertaining in a junk food-y way. Yeah, it's better not to think too much about some of the inconsistencies and it's clear the writer is making up stuff as he goes, but damn me if the human drama isn't on point.
I wasn't all too hot on the internment camp arc, since it seemed things were going all too smoothly for Nana and co., but then the speed picks up as the focus shifts to Nanao. We get some revelations on the enemies of humanity, and... Well, I don't know, that monster looked plenty real, but also it's all from Tsuruoka's mouth and he's not exactly the most trustworthy. I'm guessing there's more to that story, else the future is looking very bleak for our talented friends.
And we've gone full circle from the beginning of the story with Nana and Nanao; now their positions are totally reversed, with Nana (still kinda clumsily) leaning into "teaming up is power!" spirit while Nanao is bereft of human compassion and fundamentally lacking trust even in his own camp. Some fun parallels here, as both are essentially the black sheep of their respective groups (the only talentless among the talented vs the only talented among ordinary people). It's really difficult to tell for now if Nanao's going to yield to Nana's talk no jutsu or are they going to do it the bloody way; both ways seem equally possible right now.
Also we finally get Kyouya's backstory and it's pretty heartbreaking what happened to his sister, but also it's kinda funny in retrospect that he wasn't really anyone special, not an agent of Tsuruoka's or anything, just a guy who happened to be very sharp. It's not like his talent helped him in any significant way throughout the story too, just the opposite - since he had to deal with the impendiment of memory loss.
Very interested in what sort of talent Rin has - I'd thought it was some kind of immortality/revival power, since we're told she's sick enough to require constant care, but she somehow managed to get by up until the present day without Kyouya's support; but also Tsuruoka's phrasing makes it seem like it's also something that can be used for attack?
[EDIT] I'm an idiot, it's obvious in hindsight. It's shapeshifting. Kyouya's little sister has been Tachibana-senpai all along.
