mayoraaseiOkay...here's the real deal. LOL.
1) Thank you everyone for the comments. I don't have time to reply to most of them, but it lets me know that people want these summaries.
2) For the sake of your own privacy, please do not write your email address in your comments.
3) Mangafox has most of the newest English scans. If it's not there I don't know where you can get it. Please support the author by buying licensed releases where possible.
4) PSP = Primary School Principal. MSP = middle school/junior high, HSP = high school/senior high etc.
- Persona screams for Yukihira to shut up and his Alice bursts out.
- Flashback to Yukihira giving Persona his Alice control training and telling him that if he wants to be friends with people, he needs to learn to control his Alice so that the Decay Alice doesn't kill others. Persona asks if the rotting marks he caused during training will kill Yukihira, and Yukihira reassures him that it's okay, because his Nullification Alice can always eliminate it, but Persona needs to do this training for his own sake.
- Back to Persona kneeling and holding the hand of a fallen Yukihira with rot marks all over his body.
- Persona pushes on Yukihira's shoulder and asks him what's going on, that he said he'd always be able to nullify the Decay Alice. PSP just watches this with a stunned expression. Persona pleads with Yukihira to move.
- Natsume catches Mikan, who's in tears, to stop her running forward. Tono tells Noda to close the time window, but Noda says he can't because of the instability and his suppressor bracelet. Natsumeglomps holds Mikan close and tells her not to watch. I have to say, the kids look so much older in this chapter =/
- Persona is still screaming "sensei". Yukihira opens his eyes and looks at PSP, and says, "You won't get your wish, definintely."
- As Yukihira's eyes close, he remembers back to Yuka's words "It's not a dream ne, to have a family with sensei, I'm so happy. It would be best if our child didn't have an Alice. But if they had an Alice, I would like them to have sensei's Alice. If it's mine it would be really sad." And then those lines from like...book 10 or something, "Obviously Yuka's (citron) child would be Mikan (mandarin)." Persona is in tears apologising. Yukihira seems to see Yuka calling her sensei, and then Mikan's face crying and calling out. He closes his eyes and remembers what he said just before he left, "I'll be right back, Yuka." and finally "I am sorry, Yuka."
- Everyone watching looks really shocked, Noda turns his head away, Persona still tries to wake Yukihira up. PSP's expression has turned from shocked to cold. Mikan is weeping in Natsume's arms.
- Yuka is still waiting for Yukihira in his room. The phone rings for the 5th time and it's HSP again, who leaves a message asking where Yukihira's gone. Yuka wonders what's taken Yukihira so long and it's almost noon.
- There's the sound of running feet and the door slams open, Jinno bursts in yelling "Yukihira are you her--" while Yuka runs towards the door happily saying "Sense--" and they both freeze and think "arrgh" LOL.
- Jinno turns to leave and tells Yuka to get back to her own dorm. Yuka asks him where Yukihira is, and he replies he doesn't know, but last night after he called Yukihira he thinks Yukihira had gone to PSP. He doesn't think Yukihira's the type to go into hiding. Yuka asks him what's going on. Jinno tells her he'll contact her if he finds out anything and tells her to keep a low profile, and contact him if anything happens on her side. AWW JINNO YOU'RE SUCH A SWEET, CARINGFROG-LOVING LIGHTNING ROD MAN.
- PSP's brainwashing Persona again: This is an accident. It's not your fault. Everyone has multiple sides to their character, what you've known up to now is only one side of him. He stood in front of the door to your own life. You've only opened the door with your own strength. For you to continue on with your own life, what has happened to him is nothing more than destiny. ...........I wanna skewer him.
- PSP's burning a scent in his room, and he tells Persona that he's no longer alone, that he also saved PSP's life and is his saviour. He tells Persona to go to sleep and wake up tomorrow into a brand new life. Persona falls asleep.
- Nobara is crying, and it's hard to tell whether it's because of Persona or because of Mikan.
- Rumours are flying around the school about what happened to Yukihira, who hasn't been seen in 3 days. Some say he's gone travelling, some say because of the problems he caused he's been fired, through this Yuka looks really worried. Shiki and Naru try to cheer her up but can't.
- Jinno and HSP sees Yukihira's body. PSP feeds them another pack of lies: "He was like this when we found him. Serio Rei, who was beside him, was in a dazed state and could not be aroused to answer any questions. It seemed as though he had received a great shock." He then asks HSP to put this down as a death of unknown cause because "It can't be crossed out that it was caused by Yukihira's own carelessness." He says that it's not a good idea to publicise the details of the death since they can't find the cause yet and it can cause a lot of prejudice against Serio Rei, which Yukihira himself would not want.
- HSP touches Yukihira's face and remembers all the idiotic times they had together LOL. And then he remembers those mean words he said to Yukihira "It'll all be solved if you die." YES I LOVE THIS MANGA FOR ITS CONTINUITY ♥
- Jinno punches the wall and calls Yukihira an idiot. I wonder how much he believes.
- HSP turns to PSP and stares at him, and remembers the conversation he had with Yukihira about PSP's Alice...okay, I am not satisfied with ANY translation I've read so far (English or Chinese, and I don't trust my own Japanese, so I'm waiting for a reliable translation), and I think the original text is confusing enough as it is. I'm going to put it here for anyone to have a crack:
彼はいつのころからか
私や中等部校長などはるか凌ぐ昔から この世に生を受けた人で
その寿命、容姿は彼の特殊なアリスによるもの
そしてそのアリスで長年
私たちには容易に手出し出来ない強固な地固めをして、彼は今の特殊な地位にいる
彼のアリスは
“クローン”のアリス
重ねてきた年齢を２分割する形でうみ出し
彼を含め テレパスで結ばれた その多くの分身（クローン）が 今もなお世間に 私利私欲の根を 張るために そのアリスを使っている．．．
This is my interpretation of it...
"We don't know since when,
In a past so distant it long surpasses either myself or MSP, from those who've been born into this world,
That age and appearance is caused by his special Alice
And using that Alice for many years
Creating a foundation too strong for the rest of us to interfere with, he got to the rank he is now,
His Alice is
'Clone Alice'
Halving his aggregated age into two separate entities
Linked by the Telepathy that he possesses, those many CLONES, even now is still spreading his roots of selfish desires into the world, using that Alice......"
Personal thoughts:
I hope the next chapter clears up more of PSP's Alice. I am anticipating we're moving towards an end of the entire series, although I'm happy to give it another 5 volumes, 10 if PSP makes a run for it. I'm guessing PSP is the final BOSS of this series so yeah, it looks like a showdown is coming up.
It is a very sad chapter but personally I'm happy that she kept Yukihira's death. It means she's not underestimating her audience. She's not taking the easy way out on things. It's a tragedy, but one that'll make her characters grow through and create a happy ending with their own power, rather than expecting a deus ex machina to hand it to them. But I'd have been happy with a deus ex machina if done right XD
PS: Does anyone remember if PSP wants the Theft Alice or the "Implant" Alice? If Yuka implanted something in him...I wonder what it is? Shiki/MSP's barrier? Or Yukihira's Nullification? Or Noda's Time control? =/ What would decrease his age/appearance and keep it there? Because it seems the more clones he has, then numerically the younger he should be.......am confuzzled.
