夜の名前を呼んで volume 2

Chapter 11

Finally a background chapter! Little Mira and young Rei were so cute this chapter. This whole chapter made my heart hurt though. I feel so bad for Mira and her parents. I can see some themes from this chapter that apply to the real world too. Its good to know that in the current story (not the flashbacks like this chapter though) that Mira is growing happier and less traumatized.

Does anyone know the word that Mira’s parents use to call Rei? I couldn’t figure out the kanji.

Which panel or page are you looking at? I see both 君 and 先生 at the beginning of the chapter.

Ahhhhh i meant the other way around, that Rei calls her father on page 144 and 151

You must be looking at 先輩, or せんぱい! So Mira’s dad is calling Rei 先生 since he’s a doctor, and Rei is calling him せんぱい since he’s older.

So Rei is basically a therapist? Not sure how I feel about his methods…


If I’m interpreting correctly what he’s saying here, it’s pretty bleak. I definitely want to know more about the darkness within Rei and his own trauma.


This almost feels like an echo of the discussion during Mira’s kidnapping from the first volume.


These earrings feel like an echo too. This person definitely had a huge impact on his students, I really want to find out more about him… Fingers crossed for a meaty Rei flashback in volume 3 :crossed_fingers:

Starting the process of catching up!!

Chapter 9


omg?? His hair…


THIS IS SUCH A CUTE PANEL OF REI…


I really like this spread here, where Rei and Mira are just interacting with the little booklet directly.


I missed reading this… I can’t get over how beautiful all these panels are… Also this feels like this would be an infuriatingly vague instruction to receive but also, I get it LOL


Once again thinking that sometimes Mira is drawn like she’s a young woman and other times she looks like she’s like, two. (Like here.)


MIRA’S TEA WORKING TO FIX REI’S HAIR… Honestly I was really liking the dark hair colour on him LOL But there’s also really something about Mira, with how she ends up creating darkness with her illness, somehow stumbling on this recipe because she was so delighted by the sparkling when Rei was working on the root…

One chapter down!! Will continue working on catching up. I didn’t realize that I’d been busy for so long :sob:

Chapter 12

I’m not crying…… you’re crying…….

Wow this was an emotional end to this volume. If got it Rei was like “well if you want to die go ahead but what if instead we work together to figure out what you like”. Kinda dark Rei…..

Also the picture of young Rei on page 183 is so sad. I don’t know how much more angst I can handle in this series and now his background is probably really sad too. I’m excited to keep reading and I feel very accomplished for finishing this second volume.

Chapter 10


HUH… Interesting pronoun usage from Stella?? 君/僕… God, I love how gender everyone is in this.


LKJSLSDGJDLSGJ This whole interaction…


OH… HIS EXPRESSION… Also, cute.


This is really one of those moments where it reminds me how young Mira is… The hiragana on the crayons… (Not to mention the crayons themselves…)


OH OKAY IT WASN’T A JOKE we really are going with this way of writing crayon, huh.


MIRA DRAWING THE SHADOWS AND ALSO CAPRI :sob: Capri, please come back soon…


Ahh, decided to try stitching these two pages together to see the complete picture in this spread. I really love… how Mira became comfortable enough to also let Stella carry her on her shoulders :sob:


Oh my god, the pun on cotton candy with わた雨 :sob:

This was a cute chapter! It was nice to see Mira feeling comfortable with someone other than Rei, and continuing to find out more about him.

Not too many thoughts while going through this chapter, except:


This is an absolutely wild line to end this chapter on, oh my god.

Probably stopping for the night now which means I get to just be haunted by it until I continue LOL
