I wondered why his soot made a heart shape if the soot above a shadow’s head is supposed to correspond to negative emotions. Emilico’s guess that it was his soot power awakening made sense, although I also agreed with Patrick that that would be s pretty silly power to have
I’m still not convinced it’s not at least related to a soot power, despite his (very cute) “think about Emilico” test. But most of all, I’m interested in the fact that he seems to have decided not to reject his feelings anymore. I’m really curious how that’s going to go.
I hadn’t been keeping up with the thread and just now realized I was a week ahead (I think it happened during the science gone bad storyline). I guess that just tells you how good this manga can be
On that note, a comment for next week on chapter 135
Man, finding out about the poison ointment just adds another layer of tragedy to Barbara and Barbie. It’s bad enough they’re trying to reunite with someone who’s dead, and still don’t know why Mary Rose stopped trying to excel.
I need to start skimming over volumes 12 and 13. I was reading ahead but paused till volume 14 became available and somehow ended up stopping. Then I figured I may as well wait for the club.
I had to read ahead last week Luckily, after this week’s reading was the end of the volume, so that prevented me from reading ahead even further. Because oh boy, did I want to
Story comments
This is such a good twist! The story has been encouraging us to sympathize with the star bearers for a while now, but now Gilbert reminds us that their incompetence has cost several people their lives through disposal.
It’s interesting that Kate sees this as happening due to the lack of coffee. Gilbert is one of the older shadows, so it’s weird that he and his living puppet are breaking out of its effects when Sara and Mia still seem to be super duper brainwashed, despite being younger. They should have more coffee built up from long term ingestion. Maybe it’s because Gilbert and his living puppet (whose name I can’t recall) had those much harder experiences as part of the medical team that he talked about.
