Okay, this is making my head hurt! You never disappoint, Oshimi!

The real Komori is a friggin jerk. But it made sense though, it would be bizarre that another Mari is talking on the phone when they hold the unconscious theory with him. I just doesn't fit—but still, he's a scumbag.

I need to know who Fumiko is though! And if it might be another clue to the phenomenon that occurred to Komori and Mari! Lol, I was only guessing on the previous volume about DNC. But this one kicked my theory out of the park. I mean, yea, not very Oshimi to use the same pattern twice. BUT I need to see the ending though, like right now!!

Had to read this one digitally as it's currently out of stock everywhere.

It's still a mystery where the real Mari is.

The only lead they had was not what it seemed.

And who is Yori really? The friend of Mari that she never really knew.

Still lots of unanswered questions.

A good volume but feels like we're repeating a few of the same steps.

I did find the reveal beyond fucked up. Took out the suspense a bit but also made me hate the main guy even more? Like he's such a piece of shit. Also, the fact that Mari might be having a mental breakdown? Something terrible happened to her as a kid? Yeah, we're def building into something here, and I have a feeling it's going to be scaring by the end.

More answers are coming to light, as well as a few lies and it's honestly getting so good, waiting is a game I am most impatient at.

I binge read volumes 2 - 9 so this is a generalized review until finale. The story was weird, and uncomfortable and funny at times. The eros commentary at the end of earlier volumes was probably creepier than any single moment in the books. The first volume described this series as having a "scifi" twist, but every volume after that stays a "dark" twist. There is no sci-fi. That mischaracterization made me form a theory that was way off the mark, but I caught the change early and let my imagination take over. I tried more to enjoy the story rather get than figure it out. Without spoiling anything, I did enjoy the entire series, am glad I opted to collect the effort series, and and satisfied with the conclusion.

The betrayal! so much drama oh my goodness. Well, I'm glad things took a turn from the creepiness of the last volume. The author seems to be self-aware of how icky it was getting. But I guess all of that stuff really needed to happen so that we could see a character arch for the protagonist. there's only 2 more volumes left after this, honestly it can go any which way

So...I read volume 7 before reading this one and it was pretty easy to piece together what had happened in this volume. I am curious to see where this is all headed and how all these pieces end up coming together in the end...or if they ever do. My favorite part of this though was Mari and her brother playing videos games...I'm glad I went back and read this volume even if it was just for that scene.

Yori-san is acting weird, Komori is confused by Mari's actions from the last volume and is desperately trying to confess his love and Mari discovers a mysterious figure from her past while searching through old childhood photographs. Who is the elusive Fumiko and what does it all mean??? I'm curious to find out who Fumiko is...based on Mari's mother's reaction, perhaps a dead twin??

This just gets messier and messier, and everyone is worse off for it. Some particularly nasty conversations and confrontations here, as deeply flawed and sad characters deal with each other's bad decisions. The central mystery has taken a back seat to the character drama, and it's made me a little less invested.

Sigo pensando que Mari es Mari. Komori es una persona desagradable, pero lo entiendo, ya que ha estado recluido de la sociedad por mucho tiempo. Igual decepciona. Me encanta la relación vertiginosa entre las protagonistas.
