| @Ventus_S Yeah, seeing people being this impatient about the stuff that is a clearly going to be addressed in next episode is really frustrating |

PokefanPT said: Yeah I agree, I’m wondering how Yoshiki will try and break it to him, will he be straightforward or have to tell him in a way his ghostly mind could understand lol.Considering Yoshiki's reaction, I doubt he would just brush off what happened. He even left the reunion with his friends earlier, so that he would't have to face it. So I'm sure at least a talk they are having. |

Can you pin point the volume or the chapter we are on now? I'd like to read the manga too.

| @Yasminaa We are in volume 3. Though, it's hard to point out the exact chapter, since the anime isn't adapting things sequentially. reading from chapter 1 would be better, I think. The manga is very different from the anime. |

@Yasminaa We're nearing towards the end of volume 3 - chapters 1-15 and part of 16 have already been adapted
| @FireSalamander Thank you SO MUCH for replying! :) |

@PettankoLover Yeah right, Hikaru almost murdered his friend and Yoshiki found out about his Murderous tendency, nothing happened totally. (roll eyes)
Sometimes it really makes me question do people even watch the same show as me?
Guess all they care is cool battle animation with zero plot, then you clearly watching the wrong genre, might as well drop it now.

| @Ventus_S You don't know me, pal. |
| Man, I never really thought about that. Dying is just turning into a different form, but your soul is still the same. Now it makes sense why Hikaru doesn't care if he possessed somebody or not. I really like it when anime make me rethink about my beliefs. This episode is one of them. |

| WOW this show is so incredibly well-made |
| 🌈 i just want gintama back |
| Hikaru true nature is unpredictable (as expected) and it's terryfing, I really thought he was going to kill Asako I wonder how Hikaru will react around Asako now Good episode |
 |
| Man, Asako is so nice and friendly. Hope nothing bad happens to her. Another super engaging episode. Looking forward to seeing what will change regarding "Hikaru" and Yoshiki's relationship now that the later is fully aware of "Hikaru"'s murderous nature. |
| I was transfixed watching it as per usual...love the character work and symbolism but apparently some tasteless people find it boring and slow? Ya all don't deserve good anime fr fr. |
| feels like this anime keeps wasting the intriguing plot it set in the first episode |

I'm curious too. It will certainly be hard to explain it that idea. I'm not sure if Yoshiki will try to make it "learn" that, or if he just gave up, and will take Rie's advice. Yoshiki's reasoning now is so uncertain, and that's what makes this episode great. Can't wait to see how he will react! |

Since the full chapters are quite long! I'm already trying to find a way to deal with the fact we are already half way through the anime, crazy. Thank you for the info! I was actually expecting more chapters, since the manga started coming out in 2021, but if they are long and released in different parts, it makes sense. |

| @PokefanPT I think they'll adapt around 5 volumes in this season, maybe a small part of volume 6. And there are 7 volumes out currently. But I heard that the manga is supposed to end with volume 10, so it will probably take a few years before hypothetical season 2, since it will most likely finish adapting the manga after it already ended. But that's just my prediction for the adaptation, so don't take my word for it haha EDIT: More specific predictions, but again, I'm just guessing based on current pacing: EP7 - chapters 16-18 EP8 - chapters 19-20 EP9 - chapters 21-22 EP10 - chapters 23-24 EP11 - chapters 24-26 EP12 - chapters 26-27 |

Ahhh, the suffering will be a lot (although I might jump to the manga after the anime ends). But now I can have more realistic expectations for this, so thank you for this info, is exactly what I needed! Being only 10 chapters away from the original source, that 2nd season won't be out that soon, that's for sure. |
| it always surprises me how Yoshiki's reaction to Hikaru being scary is anger I think he just can't tolerate hurting other people like that Yoshiki comforted Asako after she fainted because he cares about her, like he cares for all people same reason why Yoshiki still showed up the next day to walk with Hikaru he doesn't think he is, but Yoshiki really is a great person |
| At this point in the anime, I only have two ideas about the protagonist. Either he's a fucking idiot who, to be with his boyfriend, gives himself over to a freak, or he's a genius who's tricking me into believing it. At first, scenes like when he touches Hikaru's "inside" might make me think it's bizarre yaoi fan service, but on the other hand, I can't help but think he's looking for some weak spot. He can only see his soul, not emotions or thoughts. In any case, what a wonderful anime. |
| Asako is surely perceptive of these things, just saved by Yoshiki. If Hikaru’s perception of death is true, it was dead before coming to life. |
 |
| Confusing episode, to be honest. Everything was great, right up until the very last second. How did Yoshiki get over being so mad at Hikaru for trying to kill Asako in just one night? I can’t get a read on this guy at all, especially with that expressionless look of his he has on his face all the time. |
| So Yoshiki isn't the only one who knows that it isn't the Hikaru they knew and that his body is possessed, he almost killed Asako that was very scary. |
 |
| Just started this and finally caught up! This has been really interesting, im just wanting to see if this monster can truly gain humanity or will it revert back to its natural predatory instincts. It hanging out with people really deceives you that it might be a good 'person' but, the moment it lay its hand on innocent people, that's when you should exorcise it. But then again, it already did the old lady... Asako was very close to dying there if Yoshiki didn't came. |
| If Yoshiko hadn't gone after them, Asako would have already crossed over to the other side. Her ability to hear otherworldly beings is interesting, and if what Asako's grandmother said is true, that those spirits were once human, then whatever is inside Hikaru must have been human too. Anyway, that's not Hikaru anymore, so Asako-don't turn your back on her. I doubt Yoshiki would be so masochistic as to go from being angry at Hikaru to suddenly being fine with him. But honestly, he doesn't have much choice: he has to act like everything is normal. At least he has one advantage: whatever is inside Hikaru can't hurt him. Whether it's because of Hikaru's memories of him is still unknown, though. |
 |
| Ahaha, we all thought she's going to confess love at him... but nah... She's just shy if she's wrong. Luckily Yoshiki is there to prevent Asako death....... When Yoshiki remembering the real Hikaru inside Hikaru room, when real Hikaru disappearing, it sound exactly like inside of a ghost video game... |
 |
| Been really curious about Asako so good to finally know more about her situation. Also felt like this is the turning point for them untill that last scene where Yoshiki just came to pick him up like nothing happened? Maybe a fakeout. Btw we got Hikaru pov on how he sees people or their souls. |
 |
| Asako was about to lose her life for not finishing her statement lmao 😭 |
