Mizushiro Setona - After School Nightmare, vol. 08-09 (Chi. trans.)

[oyceter]

My internet access has been really spotty of late, and I can't stay on the computer long anyway because of my eyes, so I may be concentrating more on posting and less on commenting and reading for a while.

More on topic: I am not even sure why I am bothering to write this up, since no one will read it for a couple of months anyway. Still!

Wait, so the Ai we've been seeing is purely a product of Sou's imagination? But didn't Ai speak to Mashiro in real life before? Or maybe that was dream-Ai, who is actually Sou? Also, shewhohashope, you were totally right about Sou being Ai! I love how we always dismiss the craziest speculations as impossible, but only because we didn't think of Ai as a figment of Sou's imagination!

Also, if Ai was a figment of Sou's imagination, I don't get why Ai's death in the dream world parallels the real Ai's death.

I should probably care more about Kurosaki's angst and identity as the black knight, only I don't really. Instead, I want more Kureha! I do love that she's now in armor though. But I wish there had been more about her at home and her issues there.

Hrm. Does Sou have another form in the dream world besides Ai? And the hand hasn't shown up for quite some time...

I will probably have more and better commentary after rereading in English.

I seem to remember Mashiro sees Ai in the real world just once, as she passes by, because she's wearing a different uniform and that startles him.
