| Official TL finally came out! Yoshiki crash out goes hard as per usual. He is turning into malachite. I love Ms. Medium but I also think she isn't always right. I don't know anything!! π ππ |
| 38-1 thoughts: Now that Yoshiki's scars are spreading, I feel like we may see his parents become more involved with the plot. Like, there's no way his mom doesn't question this once she gets there. I feel like we might finally get mom's face reveal in the manga. I know we kinda got spoiled by the anime xD But it's more about the emotional weight behind that moment, like when Yoshiki finally talked with his dad. Glad to hear the girl survived, but just like Yoshiki said, that doesn't make what happened okay... We're probably gonna find out how she was affected by what happened soon. Asako partially lost her hearing after being attacked by "Hikaru", and it was pointed out repeatedly that she can only hear the spirits. Since the girl became a target after looking at "Hikaru", and that stuff came out of her eyes, I think she might have lost her sight. I also feel like it's finally time for the "Tanaka is Kurebayashi's son" theory to be confirmed. This incident clearly triggered some PTSD flashbacks for her, so it's a good time to address what happened back then. |

| @kirakiradeths the official tl already came out. it was quick this time! |
| 38-2 The friendship between Yoshiki and Asako means a lot to me! It's been shown for a while now that she's frustrated at not being able to help, cause Yoshiki is so secretive. So this conversation was so important. It's good for both of them, for Asako cause she can finally air out her frustrations openly and try to connect, and for Yoshiki cause it feels very grounding after what just happened. 38-3 Holy shit he finally managed to say it out loud! Don't get me wrong, it was obvious that he had a crush on OG Hikaru. But even when "Hikaru" straight up asked him about it to his face he didn't want to say it out loud cause he's so repressed. This is huge. I'm actually so proud of him, I feel like crying This conversation is full of important stuff finally being said out loud, damn! It feels so cathartic. All of a sudden when honest thoughts are exchanged between friends it doesn't feel so doom and gloom for a moment. It's so nice~ |

| 38.3: omg he said the thing. like how it was handled too. i had a feeling that og!hikaru wasn't that open-minded. mokumokuren the goat. |
| Part 1 Yoshiki is realising that bearing the weight of someone's sins isn't a walk in the park. The kid is alive and stable. But, has she lost her senses like Asako has? Kurebayashi saw a sight that is all too familiar to her. How can she trust "Hikaru" after this? Is she planning on getting rid of him while closing the final hole? Yoshiki got asked to be normal. Damn, you can see the fear and shame on his face. Part 2 Kurebayashi actually left with "Hikaru." Yoshiki and Asako are finally talking! How long have we waited for this? Years!! Literal years!! Both Asako and Yoshiki seem to be conflicted about "Hikaru." But, in some way, they also seem to care about him despite everything. The call back to the Swamp man was a nice touch. I also love how it happened around the same time the Asako episode of the anime had released. I love manga and anime synchronising their content like that! Part 3 |

| 38.4: This was more of a bridge chapter than it's own thing. Apparently the hole wants eyes. Interesting that this is told to Tanaka, who doesn't have "eyes" (eyesight). Is it eyes are the window to the soul I wonder? My nonchalant crashout entity Hikaru is here. I missed him <3. Kurebayashi is handing him over to...someone... Because of the comment about Yoshiki's mom, it feels like there are going to be three major events upcoming. |
| 38-4 It seems like Tanaka is going against his company? He seemed in a hurry to get outta there. He did talk about the company with a bit of contempt sometimes, so I wouldn't be that surprised. Don't want to jinx it, but I'm glad that it seems he's genuinely helping the kids here. Interesting reveal about the eyes getting targeted. Tanaka seems personally invested in this revelation so it does seem like it has something to do with his loss of eye sight. It was pointed out that creatures from the other side usually attack after humans see them, cause that's when they notice humans. We also just saw when "Hikaru" going after Luna's soul, it happened right after she saw him. And then the alien stuff "Hikaru" is made of spilled out from her eyes. This also makes me wonder about Hichi-san, since she block spirits from the access to a soul? Hichi-san is one of many characters in the series whose eyes are not visible... I wonder if there is something we are yet to learn about her? Also, is the fact that Yoshiki's eyes are usually hidden behind his bangs going to become relevant again? xD And that creepy biblically accurate angel thingy from the other side has that big eye watching over everything... what the hell is it? I was wondering where Yoshiki's mom was, cause according to Kurebayashi she was on her way to the hospital, glad that was acknowledged. But what happened to her? I'm scared... I'm also scared about who is on the phone with Kurebayashi. It's probably Satou, I guess it makes sense that she would contact the company after she saw what happened to the little girl and remembered how her son got hurt... but maybe it could also be Mikasa? He seemed cautious about believing the company, and wanted to confirm what happened to Hikaru. Maybe he made contact with Kurebayashi? |

| Fuck you, Kurebayashi!! Betrayal never ends well… |
 "Are you intoxicated, or just insane?" |
| it feels so good to see Yoshiki finally talking about his homosexuality out loud, and the manga makes sure to show how much homophobia has affected the poor boy |
