Nice thing happening this week and for foreshadowing for those who saw the anime.
This week spoiler
I agree ルッツ is the best boy. He is so nice and he is a イケメン. I mean what do you want more.
For your question:
I second that. I did some in Japan and I believe you need to dry it first for around 3 day before cooking it. I’m not 100% percent sure but it can easily break if not correctly made. I do also believe there is a way to prepare the clay before molding but my knowledge on 粘土板 is limited. So the short answer is yes it can break.
When the children were helping Mayne I was always wondering if they had enough time to help her then gather stuff. I had the impression they were more short on time. It does seem they have plenty of time. I was expecting a “helping Mayne = less collecting” but it seems like everyone has time.
I like it when フェイ was so scared he say “It wasn’t me this time”.
Mayne has imposed her authority and now she is respected as a true mafia boss. Okay I have watch too many movies
This part is something I found interesting in the book KNOWING the anime s1. If you haven’t watched the anime it’s probably better not to read the next part.
Anime related foreshadowing(might spoil for non-anime listeners)
I liked the sentence:
「目の色を変えて怒っちゃダメだよ」
Out of context, this sentence seems irrelevant but if you watched the anime you understand the foreshadowing.
In the anime they show it but showing in the book might just attract too much attention to it. It’s fun to see the difference between how a media can adapt content. They can both foreshadow in their own sense. In anime, they can show something for a very short time or in the background, or just slight details that if explicitly written in the book could make it too obvious will in book it’s hidden in speeches. I always like it when I found out little reference like that.
When she was angry at the guys for destroying her 粘土板 I was like.

“Let your anger possess you”.
Again if you haven’t seen the anime that might make no sense.
