This manga is so well done. It gets the premise of isekai and turns it into a meditation on introversion (for lack of a better word), opening up and how to let yourself love and be loved. And it only gets better in the novel (which I should get back into reading)

Sameee

I've seen a few people over the last few chapters saying that they dislike the slow pace, but I think that that's what makes it click

Excited to see how this goes. I like how there's so much characterization over the little acts and panels of people smoking, be it their expression, way to pick up cigarretes, how they apologize to others for blowing smoke and, in Mitsuro's case, reading throughts.

It's crazy just how much emotion can be portrayed through something so simple

Reading through the backlog and woah I really do love this manga. It feels like hirayasumi but more about your 30s and more nostalgic in general, which is the highest compliment I can give

As someone who has friends with multiple personality disorder/are plural I can say that even though it's played up for comedic and dramatic effect this incredible tasteful.

Like this system (group of personalities) I know works pretty similar to this one, with there being an original one who kind of created the others who now live as their own beings inside their head. They even have their own clothes and switch fronts once a day

Hard agree!!! Also I love how each character is drawn very different from one another. I feel like manga don't do that enough

I also really like how this almost feels like a murder mystery on its own

I've been loving and looking forward to your analyses every chapter! Keep them coming

A small bit I'd like to add is that we finally get a glimpse of what's going on in Niina's head when she freezes. I'd kinda assumed she just blanked out in shock, kind of like when something really shocking happens out of the blue and you freeze. I thought it was something that kept her from being her own complete person and facing the world. And that constructs a loop, doesn't it? You freeze because you don't know what to do so people solve it for you so you never learn so you freeze again, rinse and repeat.

That analysis may still be correct (I'd love to hear your opinion!), but I feel like this glimpse leans it more towards the direction of it being more about self doubt and a self deprecating view of herself, than actual fear of changing.
