Not going to lie, I was expecting Hapshepsut the lady pharoah.

Still, the Necronomicon is awesome, UFOs are awesome, please tell me it gets Cthulhu lasers.

Actually, the Necronomicon was never explicitly called a grimoire, tome or book in Lovecraft's own works, but called one in later writers additions to his cosmology.. it was an Unknowable Forbidden Object. That's why using it can drive the unprepared insane, it's an item of unknown lore and power mortal minds shouldn't try and understand.

Which is why her persona is a UFO, it's a thing people don't know the true form of, but has unimaginable forbidden powers in it.

Lovecraft gives quotes from it and it lives in Miskatonic University's library.

No book had ever really hinted of it, though the deathless Chinamen said that there were double meanings in the Necronomicon of the mad Arab Abdul Alhazred which the initiated might read as they chose, especially the much-discussed couplet:

“That is not dead which can eternal lie,
And with strange aeons even death may die.”

With that phrasing not really sure what else it would be...

Are books ever alive? Even if it might be book-like, the fact it's a living creature hints at it's fantastical true form.

By "lives" I mean "is contained in", not in the organic sense.

Like I'm legitimately not sure where you're getting the idea it's a living creature or mysterious object.

Tora should've been a missable party member - recruitable, but not important to the plot. That way it wouldn't gently caress up the central theme of ROTTEN ADULTS while still allowing the story to be like "oh hey, not all adults with responsibility/power are total garbage".

He doesn't really have responsibility or power though - he's kinda the guy fighting a doomed crusade that goes nowhere with no real resources but perseverance.

“Hey, wanna hire me as a prostitute in exchange for helping you cheat at school?”

Never got the impression Joker was taking advantage of that facet of the service. It's still weird and hosed up, but I can't see that selling in the states.

I think she was gunning for an excuse for sneaking around rather than an excuse for why he's there.

Yeah, the daughter thing was pretty obvious when Haru made it through the DNA scan door.

That being said, these are teenagers who usually aren't known for their cognitive skills.

Does Sae know that Hamiru's criminal history so far has been "getting charged by a bullshitter while protecting a woman"?

Also OH SHIIIIIIIIIIIT!

Sae seemed lucid enough in the interrogation room to be worried she's got a Palace, plus as far as we know she hasn't been driven to public grand atonement.

Milady also murdered quite a few people. And the majority of the second half the book is her trying to kill d'Artagnan

There were a zillion ways to make Akechi sympathetic and redeemable after the crap he pulled.

Naturally this way goes with this stupidest.

(I am convinced I am the only person who actually likes Ryuji because he's been with Joker and had his back the whole time).
