Damn Kamon, what a power move!!

You just know he was mimicking Masago to effectively control that sap as if it were water 🥺

[popflythesky]

reasons it feels slow with no emotional highs so far: mao does seem to be dropping things with the intention of everything wrapping up together for a big payoff at the end.. rt's withholding a lot more for a lot longer than im used to her doing

(and i associate this style of writing with shojo for some reason)

Hi,your blog is Always a High Suprise for me. Are you aware of the current MAO arc? Because I have the weird sense MAO team hasn't got the answers from Shiranui(: What is He hiding regarding masago's murder ?

ASJHDBJHAK THANK YOU!

By the way, don't worry! I am caught up with the Mao manga.

Also yeah, Shiranui is a great manipulator who is also a dumbass. He lies a lot to keep his image and is really pathetic. (I am saying this because we had seen how well his method works with a girl that is dead but keeps walking, as Kamon said but they still try to call themselves the real thing)

To be honest the target in this recent chapter was Mao and that's why he began to throw at him stuff about Sana, knowing how Mao loved her before just to make him lose his composure since he apparently had something he wanted.

Was Shiranui telling the truth? There is a possibility.

We only know about Sana from an outsider's eyes. However, what little we know about Sana is that she wanted all the curse stuff to end before getting killed and we know that Masago was killed also when she was with Shiranui. But the thing is we have only heard Shiranui telling us that.

Meanwhile, with Sana there are different people explaining how she was and how she acted on that day. Nevertheless, we have been hearing that Shiranui wasn't a good apprentice and how weak he acted.

Give the weak in spirit power and becomes a monster.

So yeah, we should all take what Shiranui say's with a grain of salt.

MAO Volume 8

With the volume 8 of MAO on to bookstores I feel it necessary a recap of its content.To make proper review too.

Below:Natsuno testifies about the jaki during the awful night

After the failure in Shiranui’s temple to save Masago the whole team listens to Natsuno.She recalls the night when the jaki struck down Sana, killing her and ripping her heart.Plus Hakubi immediately blamed Mao for the crime,thus branding Him as a traitor. Very soon Mao and Nanoka have a heated argument, regarding his obsession about the long ago dead Sana.

Nanoka after just feels it absolutely embarassing,wishing to make up for him.But the how turns it’s Mao who takes her to thier Romantic date:)

Some days later a series of murders gets publicly noticed,so Maonoka go to investigate,soon they save a young man from the attack of a ayakashi beast.The man is named kagami Souma,he tells them the beast is originated from a distant ancestor. And the arc goes with Souma intentionally luring Mao to an ambush,with such twist of event where Nanoka gives a fight against  Souma hereby saving Mao

My sense

Natsuno is an Interesting onmyoji,testifying to Mao team that the Jaki killed of Sana,and that immediately Hakubi had a weird role in to all the awry time.It’s a reliefe the knowledge Mao hadn’t kill her off.Then again the recall leaves serious questions :

a)How come Yurako has the same face with Sana?

b)Why is she the ally of Shiranui?

c)Why did Hakubi blame Mao for Sana’s murder?

Pause here.So we can understand the wholesome way Maonoka make up for each other.It’s mao proven a mature man,he goes first to Nanoka,their romantic date goes smoothly.All this has a maturity,the two reconcile,none keeps mad at the other.No more to the usual things taking place in Urusei Yatsura,Ranma 1/2 and InuYasha.

“No good deed goes unpunished”.This really got my attention too.

Now to the most disgusting sides of reality:

Maonoka did care for Souma and save him from the Beast using,however Souma’s obstinate to keep the Beast.And more,he’s willing to join Hakubi to become a beast user.So that’s why he lead the unsuspicious Mao into the Ambush,and pinned him with a Gokou tool the Puppet needle.This tool can manipulate Mao and turn him in to his  beast form. See down:

Souma’s Angry face says it:“I waited a long time till I could hit you hard,you creep”.

Below:Nanoka yielding Hagunsei  as the slashes Souma’s beast

Just that it’s now two years since the first time we saw Natsuno’s testimony,and all of the rest.

Looks like Masago may still be alive after all. I've been wondering about that ever since she saved Kamon from drowning back in chapter 67.

[popflythesky]

also is masago really dead, or is she dead like daigo was? since mao/the 4 didnt kill her, it was yurako's ayakashi... who were also at the shrine and apparently part of the deal. so. yurako/her ayakashi can kill mao/the other 5 too?
