[12/13/2015 4:11:01 PM] Avelys: Okay, what did you guys think of the manga?
[12/13/2015 4:11:24 PM] Koen: I loved the sheep
[12/13/2015 4:11:28 PM] Koen: the evil sheep
[12/13/2015 4:11:32 PM] Koen: sheep of depression
[12/13/2015 4:11:37 PM] Avelys: I thought it was really interesting how it was shoujo but had mystery elements. Was a nice change.
[12/13/2015 4:11:41 PM] Koen: of distrust of inaction :3
[12/13/2015 4:11:49 PM] Ryan: I liked it, solid cast of characters and drama, felt the pacing went haywire towards the end and some of the characters could have used more development/screentime
[12/13/2015 4:12:04 PM] Ryan: this didnt even feel like a shoujo this felt more josei ish
[12/13/2015 4:12:05 PM] Koen: I loved it perfect as it was. it was a little confusing at times
[12/13/2015 4:12:05 PM] Avelys: I loved how the sheep represented her unconscious and distrust and fear.
[12/13/2015 4:12:18 PM] Koen: and how she got rid of the sheep
[12/13/2015 4:12:20 PM] Koen: it was lovely
[12/13/2015 4:12:23 PM] Avelys: I loved the art. Very nice.
[12/13/2015 4:12:44 PM] Avelys: Vincent? What did you think? And jeni?
[12/13/2015 4:13:18 PM] Avelys: I thought it was kinda funny how they implanted like those shoujo moments with a love triangle. Wouldn't be shoujo without hahaha
[12/13/2015 4:13:30 PM] Koen: oh yeah
[12/13/2015 4:13:32 PM] Koen: boy was cute
[12/13/2015 4:13:56 PM] Koen: he wanted her to be safe
[12/13/2015 4:14:05 PM] Vincent: I liked the sheep/art (as mentioned before), but it felt to me that the manga led you to think the wrong things on purpose (calling the girl on the bicycle a boy consistently, for example)
[12/13/2015 4:14:07 PM] Ryan: he was best boy
[12/13/2015 4:14:32 PM] Avelys: Omg yeah so misleading (nod)
[12/13/2015 4:14:54 PM] Jeni: Here now, Skype is acting up again
[12/13/2015 4:15:18 PM] Jeni: I like the art and the story was interesting
[12/13/2015 4:15:47 PM] Avelys: But it has to have a surprise element, I think. Since it's mystery and it's not like a book where you're not presented with images. If you're observant enough you can figure stuff out in mystery Manga. But by leaving things out on purpose or confusing the reader, it still keeps that element of surprise. Which could work or not depending on some manga. Sometimes they don't execute it well and it feels like an asspull
[12/13/2015 4:16:11 PM] Ryan: thats when you notice those elements on a 2nd reread
[12/13/2015 4:16:20 PM] Avelys: I would not have let my friend stay with two strangers. That was dumb. I was legit scared for the mc. She was gonna dieeee
[12/13/2015 4:16:49 PM] Koen: he didn't though did he
[12/13/2015 4:16:54 PM] Koen: he brought her home, did he not?
[12/13/2015 4:17:11 PM] Avelys: The friend? He left her with the guy and that other girl
[12/13/2015 4:17:13 PM] Avelys: Smh
[12/13/2015 4:17:21 PM] Jeni: You mean when she spent the night over at that girl's place
[12/13/2015 4:17:29 PM] Jeni: ?
[12/13/2015 4:17:33 PM] Ryan: yup
[12/13/2015 4:17:36 PM] Avelys: Yeah
[12/13/2015 4:17:38 PM] Ryan: kurumi i think
[12/13/2015 4:17:46 PM] Avelys: Iirc
[12/13/2015 4:18:11 PM] Vincent: In the end, was there a reason why that math teacher was killed? or was that just to set everything in motion?
[12/13/2015 4:18:23 PM] Koen: he was a rude ass bitch?
[12/13/2015 4:18:25 PM] Ryan: botched surgery
[12/13/2015 4:18:31 PM] Avelys: Lmao
[12/13/2015 4:18:35 PM] Avelys: Koala
[12/13/2015 4:18:37 PM] Ryan: it was kurumi's dad
[12/13/2015 4:18:50 PM] Vincent: [Sunday, December 13, 2015 4:18 PM] Ryan:

<<< botched surgerythat wasn't the math teacher, right?
[12/13/2015 4:19:02 PM] Vincent: it was kurumi's dadno, that was the director of the hospital
[12/13/2015 4:19:17 PM] Avelys: Yeah
[12/13/2015 4:19:29 PM] Avelys: I think the math teacher was a sleazeball
[12/13/2015 4:19:34 PM] Avelys: Didn't he sleep with the students
[12/13/2015 4:19:40 PM] Koen: yup
[12/13/2015 4:19:42 PM] Ryan: prostitiuion
[12/13/2015 4:19:49 PM] Avelys: Yeah
[12/13/2015 4:20:20 PM] Avelys: The male lead was handsome
[12/13/2015 4:20:25 PM] Jeni: Yeah
[12/13/2015 4:20:28 PM] Avelys: Reminded me of the male lead of boku
[12/13/2015 4:20:32 PM] Koen: side lead was more handsome
[12/13/2015 4:20:38 PM] Avelys: They always lose
[12/13/2015 4:20:42 PM] Avelys: It's bc he's a blonde
[12/13/2015 4:20:52 PM] Avelys: Japan hates blondes clearly
[12/13/2015 4:20:53 PM] Jeni: rip blondes
[12/13/2015 4:20:54 PM] Avelys: Rofllll
[12/13/2015 4:21:05 PM] Ryan: i thought the side lead killed the math teacher
[12/13/2015 4:21:13 PM] Ryan: had me fooled
[12/13/2015 4:21:15 PM] Avelys: Lmao what
[12/13/2015 4:21:19 PM | Edited 4:21:34 PM] Vincent: [Sunday, December 13, 2015 4:20 PM] Avelys:

<<< It's bc he's a blondeI've seen many "white" colored people turn out to have very different colored hair (than blonde) :P
[12/13/2015 4:21:21 PM] Avelys: How did u get to that
[12/13/2015 4:21:23 PM] Ryan: they way he was presented
[12/13/2015 4:21:37 PM] Ryan: he was some deranged ass person
[12/13/2015 4:21:45 PM] Avelys: No no that's the male lead
[12/13/2015 4:21:54 PM] Avelys: Dark haired dude?
[12/13/2015 4:21:57 PM] Ryan: yeah
[12/13/2015 4:22:07 PM] Avelys: Yeah. He's the love interest. And yeah he was weird
[12/13/2015 4:22:14 PM] Avelys: I thought he killed his mom
[12/13/2015 4:22:29 PM] Jeni: ^
[12/13/2015 4:22:34 PM] Avelys: That was so sad how the Mc approached him and his brother when they were growing up
[12/13/2015 4:22:41 PM] Avelys: And they threw rocks at her
[12/13/2015 4:23:02 PM] Jeni: that smile he showed when the photographer uncle was talking to him... that was creepy
[12/13/2015 4:23:08 PM] Jeni: when he was a kid
[12/13/2015 4:23:11 PM] Koen: some smiles should be creepy :3
[12/13/2015 4:23:14 PM] Koen: (devil)
[12/13/2015 4:23:51 PM] Jeni: yeah, but creepy smiles from an 11 year old = future serial killer
[12/13/2015 4:23:59 PM] Vincent: [Sunday, December 13, 2015 4:22 PM] Avelys:

<<< And they threw rocks at herrocks? you mean then one was lying on the balconry?
[12/13/2015 4:24:11 PM] Avelys: Jeni - Today 4:23 PM
> that smile he showed when the photographer uncle was talking to him... that was creepy
Wtf was that omgggg. I was so scared
[12/13/2015 4:24:30 PM | Edited 4:25:21 PM] Vincent: Well, he obviously didn't like his mother a lot
[12/13/2015 4:24:30 PM] Jeni: [Sunday, December 13, 2015 4:20 PM] Vincent:

<<< [12:22 PM] Avelys:

<<< And they threw rocks at herAvelys, Today 12:22 PMrocks? you mean then one was lying on the balconry?wasn't that a ball they were playing with?
[12/13/2015 4:24:32 PM] Avelys: Not rocks um the ball I tthink
[12/13/2015 4:24:36 PM] Avelys: Yeah
[12/13/2015 4:24:41 PM] Vincent: [Sunday, December 13, 2015 4:24 PM] Jeni:

<<< wasn't that a ball they were playing with?yea, that's why I was confused
[12/13/2015 4:24:44 PM] Avelys: Should play together imo
[12/13/2015 4:25:01 PM] Vincent: but I couldn't think of a different situation that would fit throwing rocks :X
[12/13/2015 4:25:06 PM] Avelys: But I can understand why they were hostile
[12/13/2015 4:28:27 PM] Vincent: The manga probably could've used a bit more character development or so
[12/13/2015 4:28:52 PM] Ryan: i think the manga would have benefited with additional 10 chapters prob
[12/13/2015 4:28:54 PM] Vincent: the only thing that was really going on apart from the mainstory was the investigation and the blond guy trying to get closer
[12/13/2015 4:29:28 PM] Ryan: there should have been more screentime for the investigation.
[12/13/2015 4:29:51 PM] Vincent: and a bit more for kurumi
[12/13/2015 4:29:57 PM] Ryan: agreed
[12/13/2015 4:29:57 PM] Jeni: yeah, the manga was a bit short
[12/13/2015 4:30:07 PM] Avelys: Vincent - Today 4:28 PM
> The manga probably could've used a bit more character development or so
AGREEEEED
[12/13/2015 4:30:16 PM] Avelys: Conclusion was so abrupt
[12/13/2015 4:30:24 PM] Avelys: Did they tie all the loose ends?
[12/13/2015 4:30:37 PM] Avelys: I think they missed one. I don't remember which was open ended conclusion
[12/13/2015 4:30:49 PM] Ryan: i think everything was concluded
[12/13/2015 4:34:04 PM] Avelys: Hmm I guess it just felt top abrupt
[12/13/2015 4:34:09 PM] Avelys: Too*
[12/13/2015 4:34:26 PM] Ryan: yeah pacing towards the second half messed it up
[12/13/2015 4:34:35 PM] Ryan: but still a solid manga
[12/13/2015 4:34:45 PM | Edited 4:35:18 PM] Vincent: It could've used a little after story for the main guy character too
[12/13/2015 4:34:57 PM] Avelys: Sad times. Probably the mangaka was forced to conclude it since shoujo gals might not be into it
[12/13/2015 4:34:58 PM] Vincent: how he ended up coping with everything that happened
[12/13/2015 4:36:59 PM] Vincent: It's only the girl that had a conclusion (althought not even set too far from the events) how everything worked out after the events
