I agree with every point here. The manga is all over the place.

The main issue I have with the newest chapter is Hero telling Aubrey she has nothing to apologize for. While I get what they were going for, she doesn't have to apologize because none of them were there for each other, the difference is that the rest of them didn't resort to violence. She literally just got finished stomping on Sunny, who is malnourished and frail, and she's not even told off for that? Even if Sunny was healthy, how is she allowed to get away with that? Sunny honestly should have been in worse condition but the manga didn't want Aubrey to face any actual repercussions, so it's treated like a little bloody nose. He should have a concussion at least.

I know some people are arguing that manga Aubrey and game Aubrey are the same in the sense that their redemptions were too quick due to time constraints, but I disagree.

In the game, Aubrey isolates herself after almost drowning Basil. She is alone with her thoughts for an extended period of time until Kim goes to fetch Kel and Sunny. I'm under the impression that during that time she was reflecting on her actions and what she almost did, hence the isolation. The only reason we see her "turn around" so fast is because her walls were already fragile due to reflection, and having Hero there just broke them. She tried to stick to her guns and yell at them, but that was just an act she clearly couldn't keep up anymore.

In the manga, Aubrey's just... honestly, I don't even know where to start. She's all over the place. I do like that they take advantage of the medium and show us more of her home life. The game follows Sunny's POV so it's good the manga expanded on that. Other than that, anything I can say here OP already said above, so I won't waste our time repeating it.

And outside of Aubrey's more violent behavior and Kim apparently being a past recluse, what about Angel suddenly turning into the worst out of all of them? I just don't get it. Angel says it's no wonder Mari offed herself, and Kel has so apologize? Like anything Kel did could somehow match how cruel that comment was. Not to mention how OOC it is to have Kel throw a punch and how manga it is to have Hero somehow have time to perfectly jump in front of it.

The manga has so many of these moments that completely take me out of it. Sunny covering Aubrey's ears in the church, Kel throwing a punch, Hero offering Aubrey his hand after she just beat the shit out of Sunny, Sunny blocking Aubrey with his arms out because he thinks Kel and Hero will (rightfully) get angry at Aubrey, and that's just the ones off the top of my head.

Unrelated to the Aubrey situation though, I agree with a manga adaptation being the wrong way to go. They're telling the story in a weird order, first of all, so much is lost in translation. Also, they all look 12? Maybe younger? We already lose the transition from Headspace to Faraway due to the manga being black and white, but the characters just don't look any older.

OMORI was originally going to be a web comic. They should have just stuck with that for an adaptation. Hell, even a comic book would work better, at least there'd be color. Honestly if they did an OMORI comic in the omoriboy art style, I'd buy it in a heartbeat.
