I've long been fascinated with how the alt-right develops elaborate and obscure dog whistles to try to communicate their meaning without having to say it out loud
Stepan Andreyevich Bandera being the most prominent example of that

You can get buckwheat crepes! People mostly put savoury fillings in em but I've made buckwheat pancakes and waffles and they're good with sweet things too

There's also a new Flying Witch that seems to be going somewhere interesting, I can't wait--

The "Shopping street that goes on forever" reminds me of that chapter of And The Town Turns where Hotori's sister gets lost in some other dimension (Also a good and finished SDL manga so check it out if you haven't). It's also pretty exciting to see a Flying Witch story last more than one chapter, so I am pretty pumped for the next issue! I like that it's still super chill despite being a ~spooky mystery~.

Very misleading title. I went in expecting ninjas but there's not a single ninja in the story.

I think childhood friend is pretty good and cool. It's neat how she's mainly being positioned purely as a platonic friend, it's really refreshing rather than having her as YET another rival.

I'm ... not entirely convinced she's gonna stay platonic. She seems to have an unrequited attraction to the MC which may turn things sideways as relationships progress.

There's literally zero chance everything was just a delusion, considering what she's already done. I'd bet that she just can't see images as well as she thought she could. Like, probably she gets the "idea" of an image but her own brain fills in what that would look like.

like: image of "Mana but her hair is a croissant" is perfect, image of "the boy my daughter is getting close to" becomes Toda, image of "my girlfriend" that Nakano's never met comes out wrong.

Wait... no that's not possible, given that she's replied to people's thoughts before. AH, but I guess only the images were made up by her but not the content of the thoughts? Interesting development.

Hello, yes! Is being very good day for posting, no?
So, Nakano, about all of those mental images you were getting from Toda...

I don't remember did she reveal the dirty content of Toda's thoughts to Mana? I guess yeah the revelation is that she is the one with the dirty mind. Kinda weird that this is happening after she realized she liked Toda already.

The version on Batoto has a TL note at the bottom noting that "Mousou" means "Delusional".

It really super is. It's too bad that apparently the manga ended after 30 chapters, but hey, it's better to end at some point rather than dragging things out pointlessly like some romcom manga are wont to do...

There was also the time where her mom wanted a particular 'sandwich' as a school trip souvenir and Aya saw it as a bread and fillings sort, but it was actually a kind of cookie?

Considering she's explicitly been able to respond to things that Mana is thinking, I'm guessing Aya can hear thoughts, but not see them.

Yeah i just reread like ch75-135 and there are times where its totally plausible that it's all delusions, but her conversation with Mana (ch95-110 or so) pretty explicitly has her responding to Mana's thoughts and Mana reacting like her thoughts were being read. Mana even explicitly mentions Nakano's powers later so it shouldn't be an elaborate unreliable narrator delusion.

Also just loving communicate your problems to your friend Nakano jeez. She's right there and can prove you're not crazy.

Although I guess if she had learned how to not be wrapped up in her head all the time the series would be over...

the images are suspect, but it's pretty drat clear she's at least getting the general idea of people's thoughts. i know this is more about nakano's reaction but it doesn't play well when it's obviously contradicted by what the reader has seen.

Either way, nice touch with Mana still being in color now that Nakano thinks that she's fake.
