#chapter 167.1

FIRST OF ALL!!!!!!!!

AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! the parallels between alto and enjin, and enjin and rudo get me every fucking time. enjin never had anyone who cared about him :( so he only knows what to do :( because alto showed him to? :( he knows what comforted him as a kid. so he did the same for rudo?! GAH!!! the bandages covering enjin’s slave tattoooos :( this is so beautifully done, thank you urana sensei (つ╥﹏╥)つ

SECONDLY!!!!!

what you’re saying here is. two enjin’s. SO….. my nasty ass thought. COULD HE DO THAT DURING SE-

THIRDLY!!!!

CORVUSSSS!!!!!!!!! hi boss!!! i just know that him and enjin get along really well. two mysterious baddies. with slutty waists. do we think corvus knows that enjin has the watch????? hmm. i would say yes. look at that beastie!!! did they take that down together?! :D hashtag Besties

FOURTHLY!!!!!!

look at that grip on umbreaker. i have imagined him jerking off approximately 38 times since reading this chapter and seeing that. pls forgive me for i have sinned

FURTHERMORE

has this mfer taken a watchman series object and said “nah”????

The doll in the picture is in the same position as the one from a thousand years ago, is that how it looks in stores? And it also probably means that the guy isn't searching for a specific doll, he's just trying to find any with that model... the plot thickens.

Kind of funny seeing how fixated the doll is on crying as a human thing. Like, it just makes the whole concept seem ridiculous. If it had a human body, it would be able to cry. Doesn't that mean it's feeling the same heartache in its doll body, just without any outward expression of it? And Fushi—who is physically capable of crying, doesn't do it at all. The way I interpret it is a bit like the manga's making fun of the people reading who think tears equal humanity, but I also think that interpretation is just how I see things, not what Ooima intended.

Watching the doll be so sure of what it wants to do, and initiate immediate action has really nailed down how thoughtful Fushi is. Yeah, indecisive is another word for it, if they saw a kid about to injure a toy they would intervene as well but they wouldn't give the kid third degree burns and run (respect to the doll for doing that though), they would stay and try to resolve the situation. And fail, because that specific kid was an asshole. But Fushi really takes their time mulling over things, second-guessing their motivation before making a decision. Which I like a lot, but at the same time it's interesting to see a protagonist who's self-starting like the doll. The reason the story's leaping into action so quickly, instead of starting slowly like the first several arcs of FnAe, is because she's going straight for what she wants.
