I just noticed literally pissing the floor in terror. I bet it was Vicky, she seems like the first one who'd really crack when threatened. or is she?

I never noticed that before. Maybe she's an idiot savant?

Also, say hello to Albin. He'll be around for a while, if his unique design wasn't a clue.

>>78369734
Her friends are horrible, but they Make Sense in their horrible-ness.
Vicky is treated like shit by her family and is trying so hard to be loved by them that it's hard for her to recognize love when she considers it a barter/punishment system. Also closted gay,ayyy lmao.
And Jenny's life is garbage that she has to be oblivious to get by and, literally, the only thing she had going for her is her looks.

Not saying they're not shit, but they're not shit just to be shit. They're shit because they either are desperate to be in control of SOMETHING in their life or not actually aware that they're being shit.

And how did everyone enjoy today's issue?

>>78369889
Albin is probably my favourite character after Karine. I'm too easily charmed by pale, white haired little shits.

>>78370342

This series never fails to impress, even on a re-read. Such natural character development is few and far between, and it was great to see Karine's confidence build up over the course of this issue. That and we get good old Albin and Hugo soon. Thanks for the dump anon, always appreciated.

>>78369755
This is one of my favorite strips

>>78370507
>Albin and Hugo soon.
I just finished reading ahead yesterday and I have to repeat what I posted on the last thread, the whole "bullying made me into a serial killer" thing was really starting to sound like a made for TV teen drama.
Also Vicky's Too-Cool-For-School lesbian gf was also kind of weird to me, but I think it was mostly that I'm tired of the trope after seeing it so often in comics recently.
But still, this shit is great, almost Nana or Oniisama E levels for the other weebs out there.

>>78371152
She's pretty cool though. The serial killer arc was out of goddamned nowhere though

>>78371152
>>78371835

Yeah I think when a series is focused on the daily troubles of young girls having a big story arc leading into serial murders is always going to feel out of place. I think I'd have preferred it if it wasn't directly serial murders and more 2 instances that didn't get solved, like a couple people found stabbed by/under a road or something. Would make it somewhat more believable in terms of the building up of pent up aggression into one moment of self-righteous anger quickly seen as a mistake. Would allow for either more of a surprise when finding out or when knowingly covering up the incident. However, the characters were strong as always during so it was still great to read.

As for Vicky's friend usually I find lesbianism so out of place or lazy, but i think at least the attraction side of things was handled well with her boring arse boyfriend acting as incentive to give it a go. Cool character, but a bit too convenient for what the story wanted to do.

>usually I find lesbianism so out of place or lazy, but i think at least the attraction side of things was handled well with her boring arse boyfriend acting as incentive to give it a go.
But that's the thing though,I'm kind of tired of this whole nonconformist lesbian stereotype character that seems to be in everything lately, her whole "everyone but me is sheep that watches big budget movies and listens to top of the charts music and is a free spirit" thing is kind of pretentious, like "Booohoo,my parentswanted my to play the piano, but I hate them so I learned to play the bass instead". Like I get it that the dude wasn't a very creative guy, but he is far from a bad person as far as we can see, specially when we are never actually given anything to believe Vicky is a "rebel",as she puts, it that's trying to hard to conform. And is weird how Vicky goes from school hottie to craving lesbian from just one kiss. I hope they subvert that romance somehow like they did with all the others. But still, I wouldn't really mind if it was just as expected and that was just a kind of cool girl character.

>>78370117
I hate Melanie so much.

>>78369324
fuckin witches god damn

>>78369576
reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

>>78376494
They are really bad friends. Which the comic has at least acknowledged and done stuff with rather than ignore which would be weird.

>>78377357
Jenny doesn't seem like she's intentionally doing it. She comes off as the more caring of the two, she's just so stupid she doesn't realize she's hurting her a lot of times.

>>78369576
holy EW

>>78375633
Oh boo hoo! Melanie's great. A real go-getter. Her only mistake was taking an interest in a loser like Dan.

I got impatient.
I am livid that book 8 isn't out yet.
Why is this so good?

>>78369889
>>78370082
>>78370299
Rereading the earlier comics makes me glad that Karin dated Albin.
Despite how it all ends up she still stepped up and changed for the better.

This is the last officially published translation right? :(

>>78375633
Say what you like about Melanie, but she never dragged a puppy behind a motorcycle.

>>78380538
>Why is this so good?
Character depth.
No one is perfectly good or evil. There are no heroes or villains, just fucked up people trying to be happy and hurting each other in the process.
But ya know, kinda funny.

>>78380538

On first read I'd thought that the woman Will cheated on his wife with was the one in the first two panels, then after the last pages of volume 8 it all made sense

subtle, very subtle

>>78384939
nice catch haha i missed that

>>78384939
As subtle as a hammer hitting a nail. These guys are the best.

Bump for readers

>>78384939
>>78385075
Yeah it's going right over my head. What am I missing here?

>>78387264
In Panel five there's a picture of Melanie holding a mask in the background.
And Melanie is masking her real personality from everyone.

OP here. Tonight's storytime might start about an hour later than usual or so. Guests over for Christmas celebrations and all, so I don't want to be rude and dip out early on family friends. Still, not likely to start significantly later than 9 or 9:30.

melanie is ridiculously hot to me, better than the other two witches
