Thanks.

>>150009048
Worst boy is Ray.

Eh, I have to be the minority to say I like Don since he's the only one who acts like a kid in the manga. We need a cocky bastard like him to balance out this group.

God, can Emma keep her cuteness to a minimum for like five seconds?

>>150007920
Well, maybe Emma and Norman should've told them the truth that one time, so they wouldn't act so irresponsibly.

>>150008215
>>150008496

I don't expect either of those, just for meta reasons. Writers like their cast variety, and he's the only available hotheaded guy, so I expect him to stick around for a while. Someone else might die saving him, but I don't see him going full edge over it either.

I have a feeling this isn't going to lead to that yet, but it's going to accelerate the conflict/drama phase of the story quite a bit.

>>150007920
Wow dumb nigger

>>150007543

That empty panel of Ray in the middle of the page reads to me like: "how do I get them to leave right then and forget waiting for everyone else?" I wonder if he might "sabotage" something and force them to escape.

So is the entire series going to be about them trying to escape this orphanage?

Usually a manga would have more world-building by now and all we got was a guy who wrote a book.

>>150010211
It's not their fault. They don't know about the demons.

From their perspective, it's perfectly reasonable to break into Mama's secret room if it means they can uncover where the deported kids have been taken. Not exploring the room would mean giving up on ever finding Connie and the others.
Of course, if they knew Connie was already dead then they wouldn't bother.

This is ultimately Norman, Ray and Emma's fault for lying.

>>150007782

>>150010439

And once Gilda finds out that the other children are all dead and that the others knew, she'll probably go to Krone and almost ruin everything.

Too obvious, Norman.

>The only mexican kid in the manga gets shipped out of the wall

>>150007920
Calling it now, Emma is gonna intervene and tell them not to, it's gonna confuse the fuck out of them why Emma of all people wouldn't want to use something that could help locate their shipped off siblings. Emma can't just tell them the truth is that they're being bred for meat, Gilda is then gonna be suspicious and remember what Sister Krone said "Come to me if you think Emma is lying" and tell her what she knows fucking up their plans and getting herself shipped off.

>>150010439
Doesn't matter if they think it's possible to locate their siblings. Stealing Mama's master key is utterly retarded, since she probably uses it fairly often and will notice immediately that it's gone.

Then again, Mama might trust Ray to keep Don and Gilda in check, and let it slide.

Then again, I think the main trio is being too confident that Mama actually trusts Ray. Ray is going to die unless he escapes. Mama knows this, and Mama knows that Ray knows this. So why should Mama trust Ray?

>>150015620
Maybe Krone catches them instead of Mom, and then Mom thinks that Krone stole the key.

>>150017538
>Mom not knowing Don's >talent

>and then Mom thinks that Krone stole the key
>Mom, who's been playing trans-dimensional hopscotch for 6+ years
>not already knowing that Don stole the key and is going to crush him under the weight of her keikaku
I actually be surprised if Mama didn't notice

>>150017682
>>150017700
Mom's keikaku has to fall apart at some point. Maybe not now, but something she doesn't see coming has to happen.

>>150009596
Back off, Emma is mine and mine only.

>>150007756
This entire page basically reads "We're utterly fucked but don't know it yet"

>>150017700
No way mom hasn't counted on 3 hyper intelligent kids figuring out the location of the hidden room.

But Don stealing the key complicates things, unless Ray already told Mama that Don and Gilda are in on it. If he has, then nothing really changes. The master key probably doesn't even open the secret room. Everything is still according to Mama's keikaku.

The trouble will come if Krone finds them. She might blackmail Don and Gilda into betraying the main trio, and then use that to get at Mama.

I honestly wouldn't be surprised if the kids and Mama end up in some unholy alliance against Krone.

>>150017538
That probably wouldn't happen, but it is true that they need the conflict between Krone and Mama to escape. Mama knows way too much about what they're doing, I refuse to believe that she can't figure most of this out given how smart these kids are - she should be much more intelligent than them.

Sister Krone and Mama have conflicting interests, but right now Mama is playing Krone like a fiddle. She barely has to actively bother with either her or the kids since they're too busy with each other, she can just quietly set small things up to make their plans collapse right when it's most convenient for her.

However, if Krone and the kids start cooperating this will all start to crumble. She expects them to be opposed to one another and encourages this so that she'll be free to manipulate both groups. Even though they're both opposed to her. So she's that confident in herself that she'd allow two independent oppositions to exist. But the kids and Krone might work together! The kids can escape and Krone can get Mama's position by blaming her for the fiasco. Mama knows that Krone wants to try that, but she can't redirect the evidence to point at Krone instead if the kids themselves help her with said evidence.

Mark my words, either by choice or by clever manipulation from the kids Krone will aid them in a critical way in their escape by hindering Mama.

>>150017792
Mom's keikaku is to make sure none of the kids escape and make sure word doesn't get out that she's been violating demon code so she won't have her clean record tarnished and possibly face replacement/execution/harvesting. I can see Mama underestimating the lengths Sister Krone will go and Sister Krone ends up reporting to the demons about planned escapees or about Mama not following shipment protocol if a child learns the truth.

>>150017935
I definitely think that the kids will at some point try to make a deal with either Krone or Mama.

I like the idea that Krone might help the kids escape to fuck Mama over, but the problem with that is that Krone also works at the House. Having every kid escape would reflect badly on both Mama and Krone.

He's gonna reveal Norman's small penis.

>>150018129
Of course I don't believe that such a deal, if it were to happen, would go without backstabbing from both sides. The kids have pretty much zero reason to trust Krone and she definitely knows that, and vice-versa she would rather have no kids escape, both out of practical considerations and because she seems to be the type of person who just wouldn't want the brats to have the satisfaction of getting away.

>>150018332

There's one thing that's been bothering me. The ropes.

Ray probably tried to frame Don since he considers Don a liability and would rather leave him behind.

But why did Mama take the ropes from under Norman's bed?

Doing that confirmed the existence of a spy, be that Ray or someone else. Acting on the spy's information by taking the ropes meant showing her hand, and risked revealing the identity of the spy (which both ended up happening).

Obviously Ray expected her to move the ropes if he told her their location, which is even more odd, considering both him and Mama should be smarter than that.

So what the fuck happened there?

One possibility is that Ray moved the ropes himself, after telling Mama about them.
Another is that this is all part of Mama's keikaku, probably to give the kids a sense of a false security.

>>150018720

Could be that Ray allowed Mama to take the rope in order to frame Don, so he could keep everyone's trust while they ostracized Don as a traitor.

We do know at least that Ray doesn't really want anyone but the three of them escaping, and was only okay with taking Don and Gilda because they were older and at least had some chance of getting away too, but it could also be that he knew they both weren't as smart, and he had the oppertunity to use them as scapegoats and take the blame for anything the main 3 might let slip.

>>150018837
I guess you could interpret Ray's note to Mama as a strong recommendation that she take the ropes ASAP (because N and E were planning a premature breakout or something), and that's why she did it.

But using Mama that way is kinda risky. I really don't think they should be counting on her "trust" in Ray.

>>150018959
> I really don't think they should be counting on her "trust" in Ray.

Certainly not, if the most recent chapters are anything to go by, Mama is going to pull some shit to interrupt them very soon, mainly just guessing that on the fact that the main three keep saying "as long as everything keeps going to plan" and "we don't need to rush".

My guess is that there will be something important in Mama's hidden room, but it's likely that Don's actions will inform Mama of the groups progress and maybe get Don/Gilda sent away.

The first story arc is anyway. That's why they're calling this the "Escape arc".

If the author wasn't planning beyond this, he wouldn't have them consider how they're going to live outside the orphanage.

So what's the deal with the flower? Is that how the demons kill people? By making flowers sprout from their chests? Or is there a "seed" already implanted in the kids, just waiting to sprout? That may be the real tracker, not the thing in their ears.

I thought it would be the other way around. Krone at the very least seems open to the possibility with her urgent attempts to recruit the dissident children. It would be very good character growth as well, the kids are forced to make their first real hard choice in terms of survival, ally with Krone and end up killing off Mama.

Kind of hard to play that card after you've already fed some of them to demons. Probably a lot of them really. Unless they want to play it like she's been making Sophy's choice every year or so.
