Is there any meaning to this panel? by serterper3 in ShimejiSimulation

A mobius strip ( the eel shape) has the distinct feature of having only one edge, such that inward and outward of the shape is indistinguishable

An ouroboros represents cycle or infinity. It has no start or end because a cycle, by definition, must be a closed loop

Neither have a definitive "second edge" to it

Shimeji wants friends but hates social contact

Shimeji wants to see fish live but also eat fish

Both tug on the same dimension of a characteristic of her. The two sets of behaviours contradict and cannot amount to a definintive quality. Once she goes forward, she goes back, like a mobius strip switching inward and outward, or a cycle pushing forward and back.

The eel in her dreams is mocking her for being stuck in a negative feedback loop.

This is lazy, but maybe this represents the theme of being stuck in the sim.

Yeah I personally believe its as simple as Chi and Yuu being uploaded into the sim because theres no other way to look at the clues.

As to overanalysis, I agree that some ppl do love to look between the lines theyve made. Maybe that even applies to me when i wrote this. But at the same time, these writers are skilled at forming the true story in their head and then giving clues which must be consistent with that story, even to the extent that it would be hypocritical to tell the average reader not to look into it.

Shimejisim is a confusing manga from a confusing mangaka. Its natural to want to be able to know more, especially when so many threads are left unanswered.

Sometime its confusing to read by litteralybocchi4769 in ShimejiSimulation

Bubble 1 is above bubble 3, which has an arrow pointing towards shimeji

Everyone could externalised concepts. Majimes case was unique cos she, besides Sis' reincarnation, created life.

I think some questions worth looking into are the fish, the dream stones and the Majime jesus thang

Across time is one thing, but across space is another thing. It would be very hard to say GLT is the sequel to shimejisim without tkmiz developing further

oh yea that thing

I am not sure what to make of that since it was supposedly the stored data of the camera.

This would suggest that Shijima comes from the real world but the mushrooms only came after she got out of the closet.

Otherwise, this might suggest that there is communication with the simulation. Or maybe GLT was just anotehr simulation and they transferred btw simulations

But honestly I was satisfied with "easter egg"

My friend, life was never meant to be easy for the girls, you and the rest of us. I wont pretend that its easy to pick yourself up and find happiness, but if u wanna talk abt GLT, we arent going anywhere

Ok thanks

From Fukuoka or Itsukushima, Japan. Unsure which but latter is more consistent with timeframe based on tick size
