[Shindo L] Metamorphosis

Chapter 4 of Metamorphosis is listed as Comic X-Eros #25, and as a New Illustration.

I just wanted to know what pages in Chapter 4 were New Illustration pages.

The chapter released in that month's issue of Comic X-Eros was about 10 pages shorter than the one released in the tankoubon. The additional pages consist of page 117-126.

Thank You.

That story... (shakes head) that leaves a mark.

So it has finished. I unfortunately can't bring myself to read it again (this would be my 5th read of it before Fakku!'s official release) because I read it when I was younger and then had a very major state of depression from life events that lasted a long time and I'm still recovering from. So thanks to depression I wouldn't be able to read this without breaking down and crying and screaming (depression sucks man, it really does), but I take heart that people were able to purchase this book and read it, because if for nothing else this is one of the most grueling, down to earth, REAL stories I have read in a long time. Even if you can't fap to it, the moral behind it is far too necessary to pass up. Thanks Jacob and thanks Fakku!

I don't think I can bring myself to read through the book a second time when the physical comes in February.

Imma need about 4 months.

I'm completely serious when I say I think this was the best tank I've ever read.

About as long as it will ship.

Guess I will only need a one month buffer after I get it.

That was a rough read. I kept going hoping something would change. heh

Anyone else want more debauchery? Some Cultural Antropology, Sarashi ai or Junai? I doubt we ccan get TSF Monogatari .

I want it all

me too..... plus many many more....

After this one the next book simply has to be Hajirai Break...

I have to agree with you on that one. I need my source of our Lord and Saviour Homunculus.

... can someone tell me how Saki's name is rendered in the original?

I am not sure if this is what you mean, are you looking for the original Kanji?

If so 吉田咲 or in Hiragana よしださき

My Bad if that's not what you are looking for.

It was. More making sure my dyslexia wasn't futzing my reading up.

Translation team, am I reading that wrong, or is that along the lines of 'blosom of hope'?

Names don't really mean anything typically, but symbol-by-symbol it's "good fortune," "rice field," and "blossom."

Figured as much. And even if Shindo L didn't intend the pun meaning... those meanings for poor Saki, with even rice being an old sign of wealth (feudal days, a land's wealth could be rated in the number of bales of rice it produced)... yeah, makes me wince in sympathy a bit.
