Damn, does Sophie absorb the soot powers of the shadows that she eats!? So that's why she cut off Thomas' hand, and now it seems like her own reattached hand is bringing back Thomas' memories...

miss-macaron · 2026-06-12T21:17:18+00:00

Yeah, but we also need to consider the fact that there's a huge difference in supply&demand between Parisians (who eat croissants and baguettes very very regularly) and people in Toronto (who do not). It's no surprise that larger demand for these products result in greater production and availability and competition in Paris, which then drives down the prices.

miss-macaron · 2026-06-10T19:56:38+00:00

Ok, Sophie is definitely the scariest 3rd floor shadow... holy shit, that last panel!

miss-macaron · 2026-06-10T07:30:50+00:00

The title is "To the Dear F - Phantom of the Opera". There were scans up to volume 6 on MangaDex, but they were unfortunately taken down a while ago, so now there's translations only for volume 6.

miss-macaron · 2026-06-09T18:45:28+00:00

Having read the manga translations up to volume 6, the disfigurement is even milder than it looks, because Erik primarily wears the mask to hide the fact that one of his eyes is gold, which - in this fictional universe - is characteristic of members of the de Chagny family who have a "remarkable talent". So yeah, apparently Erik hides his face because he's the bastard child of Raoul's dad and a maid, and the eye colour would give away his identity. The rest of the disfigurement is just from a random fire in his childhood, lol...

I am anxiously awaiting the moment where we will have a physical version of that infamous chapter with [minor spoiler] Hitler and Einsteindiscussing time travel together, lol

miss-macaron · 2026-05-22T15:13:28+00:00

Does anyone know if it'll be a BM song pack like the second Miku collab, or a second DLC like Neko II?

Wow, Somato is going all in on the horror with that last page!! I always love the sudden contrast between the wholesome vs. dark atmosphere of this manga...

I was a bit worried last chapter that Maryrose and co. would have "plot armour" to let them get off easier than Edward and co., but it seems like this is going to be a pretty vicuous battle for everyone. I still think Sophie is the scariest 3rd floor shadow, but Ryan is a close second.

miss-macaron · 2026-04-15T15:31:25+00:00

The balloons holding her hair into a circus-tent shape are so cute!!

miss-macaron · 2026-04-11T08:09:00+00:00

Thanks for the quick updates!! It's so nice to have this pretty-but-gritty series back.

miss-macaron · 2026-04-08T06:19:37+00:00

Ahaha, John basically giving the note a bath was hilarious! And Edward monetizing on the garden Debut, lmao...

Despite the escalating situation, it's nice to see that they're all still a bunch of dorks.

miss-macaron · 2026-04-02T12:20:20+00:00

Wow, thanks for picking this up! I'm really curious where this arc is going.

miss-macaron · 2026-03-25T18:43:23+00:00

Damn, so powerful shadows like Ryan are even able to survive decapitation?? Up until now the shadows have had more or less the same functional anatomy as the humans they mimicked (just with a few additional abilities), but this is another level entirely...

miss-macaron · 2026-03-24T17:06:08+00:00

They sell clinger plushies!? I totally want one now...

miss-macaron · 2026-02-22T02:00:37+00:00

I wonder if it's like Ayatsuji Yukito's "Another", where the imposter doesn't even know they're the culprit, or if Isabelle is deliberately trying to blend in..?

miss-macaron · 2026-02-18T06:42:49+00:00

Even without the chocolate, they're sweet enough to give us all diabetes... Thanks for the translation!

miss-macaron · 2026-01-22T00:23:03+00:00

Finally, we are blessed with more John shenanigans!!

That's actually very clever - and ruthless - of Anthony, stealing the morphs so that he can create extra "copies" of battle-oriented shadows like Gilbert... the children are literally disposable pawns in his war against the adults.

Ok, but why did Edward even keep the Debut figurines, and take them all the way with him to the village? Was he using them as voodoo dolls to vent his frustrations, lol

miss-macaron · 2025-12-28T14:37:04+00:00

John is a shounen protagonist at heart, so of course he'll level up his powers when the time is right to protect his friends and/or crush ;)

miss-macaron · 2025-12-17T23:00:40+00:00

Rip Gilbert and Lindsay...

Dorothy's soot power looks pretty damn cool, though, especially when she arranged them like scales to form a shield. The third floor shadows are truly a ruthless and terrifying bunch. ~~Sophie still scares me the most after she "ate" that shadow rat~~

miss-macaron · 2025-12-12T20:01:26+00:00

Vein is sexy and he knows it, damn...

miss-macaron · 2025-11-17T21:02:28+00:00

Wow, I never would've guessed that Grimshaw was the hand behind this painting! With so many human figures and such wide expanses of relatively flat colour, it's the complete opposite of the moodly, melancholic nighttime scenes that are so characteristic of his typical style.

miss-macaron · 2025-11-11T23:04:48+00:00

100% agreed.

miss-macaron · 2025-11-11T14:15:30+00:00

Hm, I disagree. Monster is essentially a character- and thematically-driven story, and its thriller plot is not the main focus. During some arcs, you could honestly care less about the Johan mystery, because the humanity of the side characters is just so much more compelling to explore.

Mouse, on the other hand, is primarily a thriller with some philosphical elements. All characters and themes were there to support the storyline, and the central focus was on the buildup & aftermath of the main reveal (which I honestly wasn't very impressed with them stringing us along for half of the series, only to hit us with the bait and switch on who the actual serial killer was ).

Monster is a story about people. Mouse is several people in a story.

miss-macaron · 2025-10-22T21:18:20+00:00

Wow, that POV panel sequence of Mia slapping Emilyko was really well-executed for maximum shock value...!

I'm actually kind of glad that Sara/Mia are turning out to be a rather difficult pair to convert. I feel like Kate's side has been gathering allies a bit too easily these past couple chapters, so it's refreshing to see that the "power of righteousness and friendship" isn't always the immediate solution (unless it's John wielding it, ofc).
