Man, fuck this. Why is Akutami sensei always killing the hotties. Like first Junpei's MILF mom and now Mai..

Also, was Maki not disfigured enough already? It feels like sensei wants to injure her to a point where she won't even be able to fight anymore like he did to Todo (if Todo is indeed not able to use Boogie Woogie anymore).

Honestly, dunno why I should bother trying to remember all the new characters when sensei just kills them off right away. Kinda helpful now that I think about it considering that they're starting to seem even worse than Naoya and that's something I didn't even think possible.

I started to like this arc a bit more with the previous developments but now with Yaga dying etc it's starting to fall off me again. Not a fan of the way sensei does exposition and we've been getting a lot of it recently but I'm still really looking forward to what his intentions and plans for this arc are. Just hope it delivers.

Yup. Gege pulling off another isayama classic.. Mai dead now and the foreshadowing for both of them especially for maki's development was clean... But did you really have to kill her??? Gege is really trying to let us know that sacrifices will be made at every turn and they aren't just going to win like that

The maki and mai thing reminds me of the gemini coven in vampire diaries. Gege really is our generation's author.

was it just me or was there a panel where Maki had her right eye opened >_>
anyway, I didn't like Mai that much so I'm pretty fine with this development, I think it's an interesting twist though not a very surprising one. Maki becoming like a reincarnation of Toji and killing that crusty old man like that was very satisfying tbh

Oh no, another one to the list
I'm going to miss her so much, I really liked Mai (╥_╥)
Now Maki is really OP, and with this development they've given her, I think she's one of my favourite JJK characters 0.0

Never sad when shitty parents get a comeuppance. Definitely a clear sign that I'm well into "old man" territory that people not loving their kids emotionally affects me.

Mai sacrifices herself to save Maki and at the same time takes all of the curse energy that Maki had.. when Gege said Maki had the potential of becoming on the level of Toji he wasnt lying. Kill Naoya!!!

This panel gave me legit goosebumps and made me scream in hype. Maki giving me Guts vibes with that right eye injury.

One of the best chapters yet... Maki solidified her position as one of my favorite characters in the series. Shibuya already scarred her on an emotional level just as much as a physical one, I can't wait to see the next part of her story

Also, interesting note: Mai took every last bit of cursed energy Maki had (since she had "the cursed energy of a normal human being") so that her heavenly restriciton would now match Toji's perfect one.

Nooooo... Mai...

Maaan, just like what happened with zero and his brother in Vampire Knight. Twins are a bad omen and in the end one had to die so the other could be whole again.

The price was heavy but Maki is back to action and even stronger, I'm really looking forward to the next chapter

Ougi really talks shit about heavenly binding vow but has ptsd of fighting Toji, what a hypocrite

its a miracle that Toji let him live, then why does the vow is despised? if he had any sense he would try to replicate Toji's vow to his daughters but nah, treat them like shit just because.

I hope these fights and backstories get expanded when they get adapted

Damn this chapter was sad but hey at least Mai died a hero's death for her sister. "Please destroy everything and I mean everything big sis" followed by the godly panel of Toji and Maki sent chills down my spine. Honestly one of my favorite chapters of the whole jjk manga.

Knowing mangaka's working schedule, he probably spent hours procrastinating and storyboarding and didn't have as much time to refine details on certain panels before the due date. Still looked decent overall to me and easily a 5/5 chapter in terms of content. Happened in some recent chapters of One Piece too.

This panel was great too.

Maki Zenin: Origin
Can't wait for the next chapter.

This was very beautiful. Mai giving Maki more motivation to destroy this three clan system is poetic. Maki wanted to be head, but Mai’s dying wish is for the clan oligarchy not to exist anymore & now Maki has the power to do this because of her sister’s selfless sacrifice.

So that explains why twins are actually considered bad, not just a superstition.
Maki is powered up and her old man is powered down..........
RIP Mai.

i think that post Shibuya,Gege might have realized he doesnt have things planned for certain characters so he s just ´´Cleaning house´´ and killing a few off for others development instead of letting them fade to the background, id guess someone like either Inumaki or Momo might be next on the chopping block if this keeps going.

Can someone explain this chapter to me? So Mai died, and became Maki sword? Maybe I missed something.

Mai's cursed technique is Construction so she can create stuff using her own cursed energy like how she created her bullets.

Maki's heavenly restriction was not as strong as Toji. Toji's heavenly restriction was special because he completely discarded his own cursed energy.

Mai then said that cursed technique treat twins as the same individual, so by sacrificing herself she not only created a new sword for Maki, she also elevated Maki's heavenly restriction, possibly to Toji's level.

Holy shit, fantastic chapter, but fuck man, RIP Mai.

Let's fucking go Maki, fuck up the Zen'in clan, do it for Mai!

Since twins are treated parts of the same whole, Maki technically had cursed energy, but it was with Mai, now that Mai's gone and their cursed energy gone along with her, Maki's heavenly restriction is probably on par with Toji now and maybe she even has the chance to completely surpass him, that panel with Ogi shitting his pants was beautiful. And isn't that Toji's sword that Mai left behind, let's go, looking forward to Maki destroying everything, especially Naoya's bitchass.

this chapter perfectly demonstrates why Maki is my favorite character from JJK and why you are wrong to underestimate her.
Also, did Mai kiss Maki? Did we just get an incest/yuri scene? xD
