Let's Read Fairy Tail OR Zettai Karen Children

http://www.mangareader.net/335-32583-4/zettai-karen-children/chapter-188.html

Have Kyosuke and Yuri met before? I think they haven't.

http://www.mangareader.net/335-32583-5/zettai-karen-children/chapter-188.html

You're just jealous, Mio.

http://www.mangareader.net/335-32583-11/zettai-karen-children/chapter-188.html

He looks a bit old to have a teenage daughter.

http://www.mangareader.net/335-32583-12/zettai-karen-children/chapter-188.html

Is there a trope for characters killing insects to show off their powers?

http://www.mangareader.net/335-32583-13/zettai-karen-children/chapter-188.html

I guessed wrong; it's just SYMBOLISM.

http://www.mangareader.net/335-32583-16/zettai-karen-children/chapter-188.html

Kaoru's memory is weird. Is she developing her own split personality?

http://www.mangareader.net/335-32583-18/zettai-karen-children/chapter-188.html

Looks like this arc will be a Cringe Comedy!

Hatsune is getting creepier and creepier. And my prediction about Cringe Comedy is proving correct.

http://www.mangareader.net/335-34359-8/zettai-karen-children/chapter-189.html

Everyone is clearly miserable, but they're all too polite to just go home.

http://www.mangareader.net/335-34359-9/zettai-karen-children/chapter-189.html

Thank you, Naomi, for telling us what we've already been shown repeatedly.

http://www.mangareader.net/335-34359-10/zettai-karen-children/chapter-189.html

Naomi seems to be implying that the Little Mice from the omakes exist in canon.

http://www.mangareader.net/335-34359-13/zettai-karen-children/chapter-189.html

Sakaki? What are you implying?

http://www.mangareader.net/335-34359-14/zettai-karen-children/chapter-189.html

Sakaki?!

http://www.mangareader.net/335-34359-17/zettai-karen-children/chapter-189.html

More Cringe Comedy.

http://www.mangareader.net/335-34359-18/zettai-karen-children/chapter-189.html

Don't you understand, Sakaki? The proper trope here is peeping, not mixed bathing!

Shiho is awesome.

http://www.mangareader.net/335-35822-9/zettai-karen-children/chapter-190.html

It's nice to see Sakaki getting called out on his behavior here.

http://www.mangareader.net/335-35822-10/zettai-karen-children/chapter-190.html

Shiho loves making people uncomfortable.

http://www.mangareader.net/335-35822-11/zettai-karen-children/chapter-190.html

Oh dear.

http://www.mangareader.net/335-35822-14/zettai-karen-children/chapter-190.html

So Tim has stopped being an otaku? He'll Snap Back, of course.

http://www.mangareader.net/335-35822-16/zettai-karen-children/chapter-190.html

You're sending mixed signals, Kaoru.

http://www.mangareader.net/335-35822-17/zettai-karen-children/chapter-190.html

That was unexpected.

Yep, still an otaku.

http://www.mangareader.net/335-36104-16/zettai-karen-children/chapter-191.html

I never expected Kaoru to lose offscreen.

http://www.mangareader.net/335-36104-17/zettai-karen-children/chapter-191.html

Somehow I sense that Minamoto knows how to deal with the monster.

http://www.mangareader.net/335-36104-18/zettai-karen-children/chapter-191.html

Minamoto is Crazy-Prepared.

The Unreveal again.

http://www.mangareader.net/335-36739-6/zettai-karen-children/chapter-192.html

When Tim talks about reusable footage, is he referring to the anime adaptation?

http://www.mangareader.net/335-36739-7/zettai-karen-children/chapter-192.html

Tim loves Combining Mecha.

http://www.mangareader.net/335-36739-9/zettai-karen-children/chapter-192.html

Tim just can't get over his Contractual Genre Blindness.

http://www.mangareader.net/335-36739-10/zettai-karen-children/chapter-192.html

I'm trying very hard to come up with an explanation for this, but I just can't.

http://www.mangareader.net/335-36739-11/zettai-karen-children/chapter-192.html

Still can't come up with an explanation.

http://www.mangareader.net/335-36739-12/zettai-karen-children/chapter-192.html

That's an explanation, but a very silly one.

http://www.mangareader.net/335-36739-13/zettai-karen-children/chapter-192.html

They're confirmed to be canon.

http://www.mangareader.net/335-36739-15/zettai-karen-children/chapter-192.html

Why is every romantic attraction a character in this manga feels always Squicky?

Yukino is Genre Savvy.

Pretty much every possible pairing gets some Ship Tease in this chapter.

http://www.mangareader.net/335-38755-16/zettai-karen-children/chapter-193.html

I just had a crazy thought: what if what the prediction really showed was present!Minamoto shooting Feather?

http://www.mangareader.net/335-39076-8/zettai-karen-children/chapter-194.html

Makes sense, but it still doesn't explain the time travel.

http://www.mangareader.net/335-39076-9/zettai-karen-children/chapter-194.html

A Level 8 Esper? Called it on the first page of this thread.

http://www.mangareader.net/335-39076-11/zettai-karen-children/chapter-194.html

I didn't expect him to show up.

http://www.mangareader.net/335-39076-13/zettai-karen-children/chapter-194.html

No more jokes about Kaoru being a pervert for the rest of this chapter, OK?

http://www.mangareader.net/335-39076-14/zettai-karen-children/chapter-194.html

I've already been spoiled for this, but it's still fairly clear they're the PANDRA kids.

http://www.mangareader.net/335-39076-17/zettai-karen-children/chapter-194.html

Mirage is pretty callous. I can't imagine even Phantom thinking like that.

http://www.mangareader.net/335-39750-4/zettai-karen-children/chapter-195.html

You'd think rules like that wouldn't apply to government agents.

http://www.mangareader.net/335-39750-8/zettai-karen-children/chapter-195.html

Are they really that charismatic?

http://www.mangareader.net/335-39750-12/zettai-karen-children/chapter-195.html

The foreshadowing in that omake pays off.

http://www.mangareader.net/335-39750-14/zettai-karen-children/chapter-195.html

Fujiko is still disturbingly loyal to Imperial Japan.

http://www.mangareader.net/335-39750-15/zettai-karen-children/chapter-195.html

That's a pretty vague excuse, Fujiko.

http://www.mangareader.net/335-39750-16/zettai-karen-children/chapter-195.html

Is Kyosuke actually having doubts about his goals?

http://www.mangareader.net/335-39750-18/zettai-karen-children/chapter-195.html

Does Mirage actually think she has a chance against all those Espers at once?

edited 9th Nov '10 6:03:09 PM by silver2195

http://www.mangareader.net/335-40286-3/zettai-karen-children/chapter-196.html

He looks surprisingly normal in that outfit.

http://www.mangareader.net/335-40286-7/zettai-karen-children/chapter-196.html

Minamoto is correct in this case, but Mirage's behavior in the last chapter is a good counterexample.

http://www.mangareader.net/335-40286-12/zettai-karen-children/chapter-196.html

I'm not surprised that Patty is a Hetalia fan.

http://www.mangareader.net/335-40286-14/zettai-karen-children/chapter-196.html

Mio was the one most likely to object.

http://www.mangareader.net/335-40286-16/zettai-karen-children/chapter-196.html

I think there's been strong hints at every possible Les Yay pairing by this point.

http://www.mangareader.net/335-40286-18/zettai-karen-children/chapter-196.html

I think she's jealous.

http://www.mangareader.net/335-40638-6/zettai-karen-children/chapter-197.html

Tim is awesome.

http://www.mangareader.net/335-40638-8/zettai-karen-children/chapter-197.html

30% chance it really is Kyosuke.

http://www.mangareader.net/335-40638-12/zettai-karen-children/chapter-197.html

That's nice of Minamoto, but who will fill in when the BABEL kids are absent then?

http://www.mangareader.net/335-40638-15/zettai-karen-children/chapter-197.html

Patty reads Gintama too?

http://www.mangareader.net/335-40638-16/zettai-karen-children/chapter-197.html

I should have expected that.

http://www.mangareader.net/335-40638-18/zettai-karen-children/chapter-197.html

An odd thing to note here: the Hypno user seems to be only Phantom. It seems Mirage's role is mainly to plan things and keep Phantom's impulsiveness in check.

http://www.mangareader.net/335-41033-4/zettai-karen-children/chapter-198.html

I still don't get the reason for this rule.

http://www.mangareader.net/335-41033-10/zettai-karen-children/chapter-198.html

Chisato has an excellent Weirdness Censor.

http://www.mangareader.net/335-41033-15/zettai-karen-children/chapter-198.html

Is this scene really necessary?

http://www.mangareader.net/335-41033-17/zettai-karen-children/chapter-198.html

This shows more foresight than I'd thought Phantom capable of. The previous pages also confirms that Mirage has powers too.

edited 9th Nov '10 7:58:47 PM by silver2195

http://www.mangafox.com/manga/zettai_karen_children/v17/c203/4.html

Did Kyosuke or Mirage do something to Chisato's mind?

http://www.mangafox.com/manga/zettai_karen_children/v17/c203/6.html

Prediction: Mirage will show up in front of Chisato.

http://www.mangafox.com/manga/zettai_karen_children/v17/c203/7.html

Actually, that seems to be Feather, not Mirage.

http://www.mangafox.com/manga/zettai_karen_children/v17/c203/8.html

So the attack was Yo's, not Feather's. I guess the Yuri's momentary anger was due to Phantom.

http://www.mangafox.com/manga/zettai_karen_children/v17/c203/9.html

Looks like the anger was Feather after all.

http://www.mangafox.com/manga/zettai_karen_children/v17/c203/13.html

I thought they'd stopped that kind of teasing.

http://www.mangafox.com/manga/zettai_karen_children/v17/c203/14.html

This is the second time Shiho has apologized for something.

http://www.mangafox.com/manga/zettai_karen_children/v17/c203/15.html

So it was Feather after all, not Mirage or Phantom.

http://www.mangafox.com/manga/zettai_karen_children/v17/c203/16.html

Feather is really abusing her power over Minamoto here.

http://www.mangafox.com/manga/zettai_karen_children/v17/c203/18.html

Is Phantom already controlling him?

That's Kaoru, right?

http://www.mangafox.com/manga/zettai_karen_children/v17/c204/5.html

This is pretty funny.

http://www.mangafox.com/manga/zettai_karen_children/v17/c204/7.html

More Les Yay, even less subtle.

http://www.mangafox.com/manga/zettai_karen_children/v17/c204/8.html

Is that Kyosuke? I suppose it must be, since none of the other important characters have telepathy.

http://www.mangafox.com/manga/zettai_karen_children/v17/c204/9.html

So it was a flashback, not telepathy.

http://www.mangafox.com/manga/zettai_karen_children/v17/c204/10.html

Feather's arm looks strange.

http://www.mangafox.com/manga/zettai_karen_children/v17/c204/11.html

Why is Yuri so unpopular?

I think this guy is beyond the reach of a Friendship Speech.

http://www.mangafox.com/manga/zettai_karen_children/v17/c205/9.html

So BABEL had to interfere after all (but Minamoto didn't).

http://www.mangafox.com/manga/zettai_karen_children/v17/c206/2.html

I thought this would be about Naomi, but it looks like it's going to be about Nai.

http://www.mangafox.com/manga/zettai_karen_children/v17/c206/4.html

This seems oddly nice for Mirage.

http://www.mangafox.com/manga/zettai_karen_children/v17/c206/6.html

So Mirage is capable of remorse?

http://www.mangafox.com/manga/zettai_karen_children/v17/c206/9.html

That's pretty evil, even for Black Phantom.

http://www.mangafox.com/manga/zettai_karen_children/v17/c206/11.html

Nai's smile here is a wonderfully disturbing touch.

http://www.mangafox.com/manga/zettai_karen_children/v17/c206/12.html

So Theodore sees even Mirage as a tool?

http://www.mangafox.com/manga/zettai_karen_children/v17/c206/15.html

Now that I think about it, they haven't actually fought PANDRA in a while.

http://www.mangafox.com/manga/zettai_karen_children/v17/c206/16.html

Yuri's personalities are merging.

This post was thumped by the Codfish in a Derby Hat

Finished reading Cat Walker. I was too engrossed to take notes. There's a lot of Character Development and interesting plot twists in that arc.

Points to consider:

• The "flash forwards" probably reflect a future that was rewritten due to Feather going back in time.
• Now that BABEL and PANDRA have essentially merged, Black Phantom and the Normal People will probably be the only antagonists, until Kyosuke inevitably betrays Fujiko.
• Speaking of Black Phantom, it seems Mirage is being redeemed. If she leaves Black Phantom, Kyosuke will have to betray BABEL right then so that there can still be conflict.

http://www.mangafox.com/manga/zettai_karen_children/v17/c212/5.html

What are they doing here?

http://www.mangafox.com/manga/zettai_karen_children/v17/c212/6.html

The best explanation I can think of is that Kyosuke sent them there for the lulz.

http://www.mangafox.com/manga/zettai_karen_children/v17/c212/7.html

Why were they going to South Africa in the first place?

http://www.mangafox.com/manga/zettai_karen_children/v17/c212/8.html

I'm guessing the bodyguard guy is an Esper.

http://www.mangafox.com/manga/zettai_karen_children/v17/c212/9.html

I guessed right.

http://www.mangafox.com/manga/zettai_karen_children/v17/c212/12.html

So there's a ninja in Black Phantom?

http://www.mangafox.com/manga/zettai_karen_children/v17/c212/13.html

What a Fashion-Victim Villain!

http://www.mangafox.com/manga/zettai_karen_children/v17/c212/16.html

Implausible Fencing Powers as a Justified Trope.

http://www.mangafox.com/manga/zettai_karen_children/v17/c212/17.html

True, although at least Kyosuke doesn't go out of his way to harm Normals.

Does Kyosuke actually have important business elsewhere? Knowing him, probably not.

Kyosuke is so petty.

Fujiko is losing? Her needing to go to the bathroom strikes me as an absurdly contrived Drama-Preserving Handicap.

It's been a while since she did that to Minamoto.

I think that's the first time Aoi has hit someone.

I don't remember them ever caring about warrants before.

Imperial Stormtrooper Marksmanship Academy

Kugustu's aim is better.

Easily Forgiven

Not so Easily Forgiven

http://www.mangafox.com/manga/zettai_karen_children/v17/c219/10.html

It seems the Imperial Stormtrooper Marksmanship Academy was due to them trying to capture the kids alive.

More Les Yay Ship Tease

http://www.mangafox.com/manga/zettai_karen_children/v17/c219/18.html

It's taken her this long to grasp that?

http://www.mangafox.com/manga/zettai_karen_children/v17/c220/4.html

Still not forgiven.

http://www.mangafox.com/manga/zettai_karen_children/v17/c220/5.html

That's not a very good reason.

http://www.mangafox.com/manga/zettai_karen_children/v17/c220/7.html

That's a halfhearted apology.

http://www.mangafox.com/manga/zettai_karen_children/v17/c220/9.html

Important lesson learned.

http://www.mangafox.com/manga/zettai_karen_children/v17/c220/11.html

Please tell me that's not what I think it is.

http://www.mangafox.com/manga/zettai_karen_children/v17/c220/12.html

Whew.

http://www.mangafox.com/manga/zettai_karen_children/v17/c220/18.html

It's the Esper who changes her appearance to resemble people's loved ones.

A rather unoriginal philosophy.

Remember this?

Being a moeblob makes you seem more childish, not less!

http://www.mangafox.com/manga/zettai_karen_children/v17/c221/16.html

So she wasn't just trying to be a moeblob.

An earthquake in the middle of Tokyo? I estimate a 70% chance Black Phantom is responsible.

I estimate a 50% chance of Technobabble.
