  • Feel free to read ahead if it’s exciting, but please refrain from spoiling ahead of the appropriate week.
  • If you have a question about grammar, vocab, cultural things, etc - ask! That’s a welcome part of the discussion too, and other readers will be happy to help.

I came from half a week in the future* to say that the depicted scene was one of my favorite in the book. Kaito mumbling random garbage in Japanese on the spot was pretty fun :joy:

*I started writing this post before I saw the date. Insert “quick, there’s no time to explain” joke.

Same! I had to really sit and concentrate through all that katakana to just read, “Uhhhh what do I say now let’s sound mystical”. :rofl:

I really liked that scene as well. Just like me, whenever people tell me to say something in my native language :joy:
I wonder if Kaito is going to change history? After all Drake is influential enough to use the info to his advantage. If so, I’m worried that at some point in the future Kaito’s fortune-telling will be off with dire consequences. Let’s hope that doesn’t happen.

And that’s why I couldn’t get myself to keep reading the series past volume 1. I would get stressed out of my mind.

I can give minor spoilers if it helps one way or the other.

I am caught up. I want to continue reading… I might just go ahead and do that. :see_no_evil:

Do what feels right to you. :+1: Do post your final impressions in the main thread if you do, though; I’d love to hear them!

Huzzah, I caught up.

ドウカ、ドウカ、ゴマカサレテクレマスヨウニ。イタイメニアウノハゴメンデス

This part had me cracking up. :joy:

I was also wondering about that, but then I thought that maybe the future (past? :thinking:) that happened was exactly because 海斗 was there to foretell some events? The FLESH & BLOOD time paradox :tm:.

Maybe the final volume will be him stepping on a butterfly and preventing his own birth and thus none of the books ever happened. :rofl: (Honestly, that would be such a troll move by an author, I’d respect that. :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: )
