シャドーハウス Volume 19

Story comments

A medicine that reverses the coffee brainwashing! That’s huge! I also like how the author tied it back to Ollie’s brainwashing coming undone when he got hit by a hammer. I think I remember thinking that was weird given how long he had been drinking coffee at that point.

I was afraid Eve was going to report Evelyn when she expressed doubt about Anthony. I guess she may have done it, and we just don’t know yet. The reading ended with that cliffhanger, but the way things are going, I’m sure she’ll come around (although she may end up bringing a mole into the group of Eve betrayed her).

It’s interesting that Barbara seems to be resisting the brainwashing. It clearly worked when Barbie talked to her, but they are acting like her speaking out like that has been happening for a while, so she seems to be breaking free from it. She feels so strongly about Christopher, maybe it’s like how John’s feelings for Late help him break out of it.

I don’t think Barbie has been broken out of the brainwashing though, so it still seems unlikely that she’ll join the team.

Also, it’s been a month. What’s up with Louise??? I’m super curious to see how she’s doing. I’m also waiting for Mary Rose to finally jump back into the story. There’s no way she just died off screen.

Yes! I also want to know what’s up with Grandpa. And how Joseph turned into a shadow. Is that him? Or is that a shadow that copied him? Did he somehow find a way to do to himself as an adult what happened to Kate in the womb?

Also, it was silly how quickly they throw away the cliffhanger from the end of the previous reading. If you’re literally going to do “… is what I would have said before”, just don’t do the cliffhanger! We never get to see Eve’s opinion though. She was clearly surprised by Evelyn’s change of heart. I wonder if she’s going to be a mole.

I also wonder if we’re going to see Louise in the next volume :eyes:

Yeah, between that and the Jeremy cliffhanger we had some corny chapter endings this volume. I do wonder what happened to Louise, she must still be recovering from the whole ordeal

I just finished volume 19. Lots of plot developments this volume.

Full volume spoilers

Joseph did seem to always know more than the other shadows. I wouldn’t be surprised if the 偉大なるおじい様 is just a front and isn’t actually real. I also wonder if my old theory about Anthony and Christopher merging but with Anthony “winning” could be reapplied to Joseph. Maybe he did the same unification as the other shadows but he’s still in control. Given that this all started with his experiments, anything seems possible.

I actually somehow skipped a few pages when I was reading, so I completely missed the stuff with Barbara. So thanks @aamunoz for mentioning it or I never would have noticed!

My only other comment is that it does seem like things were resolved a bit easily, in that most of the original group and then some are already free from the new brainwashing. Though I guess that’s better than dragging it out.

I hope that this final arc is reasonably short. We’re already at volume 19 here, so I hope the series wraps up by around volume 25. If it goes to 30 or longer I think it’ll be way too dragged out.
