Given how behind on other clubs I am, I think this club is going to catch me up. I think I’m on about chapter 58 but haven’t read for a while.

Well, makes a lot of sense that this new character is from the farms (and really seems to have given up). Hopefully Ematachi find a way to reason with him

Even if they can reason with him (and he seems potentially very dangerous) they suddenly have no plan. For several volumes the plan has been escape and get to Minerva. If this guy’s been here for years, with no sign of Minerva, what are they going to do next…?

I was kind of expecting this, my current theory is that Minerva is the one that supplies the Oni with the “farm” supplies and maybe one of the only humans that knows what is happening beyond the wall. How he got the hideout built is beyond me though lol

Chapter 54

Note to self - if holding a gun to someone’s head don’t sit with your legs spread…

Is he crazy or is someone really communicating with him? Feels like both could be realistic options.

The bedroom walls suggest some serious psychological trauma.

Hard to stop reading this week, looking forward to the next chapter.

Chapter 54

Definitely seems like mental health issues. At first I thought he had killed the folks he escaped with, given how much he seems to want the whole bunker for himself. But seeing “poachers” on the wall of the bedroom implies a different explanation. How would poachers have gotten them in the bunker though?

Also, I feel like the story has taken pains to impress upon us that escapees are rare, so I wouldn’t have thought there would be enough humans running around for poachers to be able to make a living. Unless they break into farms and “steal” them. Now that I think about it, I feel like that was discussed at some point.

Chapter 55
ボナペティ！！

Summary

What a relaxed chapter after weeks of tension!

It seems like an amazing self sustaining shelter. Although if it was my house at least one of those systems would be broken by now…

GIven that senpai is such a slob, the place doesn’t seem to be in too bad a state.

I love the excitement about sleeping on a futon when you are used to a bed. We’ve all been there!

Will be interesting to see what they decide to do about their senpai…

r.e. excitement

I think rather than them being excited to sleep on futons instead of beds, they were excited to sleep on futons instead of sleeping bags or the ground, like they had been doing for 7 days between escaping the orphanage and getting to the shelter. Camping out for 7 days sounds rough. It couldn’t be me :joy:

This panel is great, also first time I realized that the existence of 湯 meant that 水 was used for cold water lol
