Volume 4/5 question

What really was point/theme of the story? Also what is up with the parallel with volume 1 and how did the other guy successfully disguised as Utsurigi without anybody noticing (Im sure there should be at least some physical different to tell them apart).Off question but does Zerozaki ever appears again.

Volume 10 translation status?

Just was wondering if there are any people or groups that are translating it or are planning on it. Just finished volume 9 and loved it so just wanted to finish the story.

Question about vol 2 after finishing

Why did the narrator feel the need to lied about his emotional reaction toward mikoko's death?I understand that its to hide the fact that hes hiding evidence or something but couldnt he just say he doesnt care and feel sick after eating something bad or something

Deleted Zaregoto video

I was able to find it thanks to a friend of mine and I wanted to share it here. I think every animation made for such a series is valuable, so I find it somehow and share it here. Whatever you do with it now.

Is Zaregoto a cursed book, series ?

I'm serious it's so insane how underrated and with no future this shit is and the worse is that I fkn love Zaregoto, this shit is a masterpiece that should become popular as fuck, and then you look into it, done in 2002, 3 vol translated officially, 1 anime that somehow was bad (never happened for mono), no reason or way for new fans to get into it as it's not even a tiny bit popular. Zare is just constantly overshadowed by Mono to a ridiculous point, the diff in popularity is like so insane it's not even comparable even though from people reading both it's clearly 50/50 as to which one is better and I would even say there are more ppl who said Zare is better, Mono having the 16th season animated or some shit and you know it's gonna be peak while we been stuck on one bad adaptation, imagine if vol 2 was well adapted, swear to god ppl would love it, it's so peak and way more interesting and entertaining than Nisemono per exemple, but nope fk Zare ! God knows why. And having been reading Zare and seeing all Mono seasons this shit is so depressing, cause seriously for me Zare is >>>> Mono im not even kidding. Being a Zare fan is depressing and a tragedy, it will never become popular, we will never get another anime, vol 10 might be translated in like 6 years ?

Should I read the new or sway book 4 translation.

I've read the first three books officialy translated and loved them all. Now I really want to read the rest of the series but have seen multiple translations for book 4 and don't know which to select so, I'd like to know which one you guys think is better.

Confused..

This temporal shift has me kinda of confused

“I knocked once, then went ahead and opened it.”

Why did he choose to describe Kunagisa's room rather than the one he declined? Wouldn't it have made more sense for him to detail the interior of the room he refused to stay in? Could it be that the room he rejected was an exact replica of Kunagisa's, or was there another reason behind his focus on her space?

“the reason hit me as soon as I opened the door”

I’m guessing it was a 1:1 replica of kunagisa’s room texture wise and the overall formality just didn’t suit him.

Moments where you said "Nisio you damn Genius !!" ?

Personally it's Vol 5 for sure, honestly Ive thought so almost every Vol literally but the reveal on Vol 5 was the one where I genuinely thought the answers were genius, Vol 1 and 2 are fkn insane too in that matter, Vol 6 too but for diff reasons

question about volume 1

Hey, yesterday i finished reading volume 1, while i thought it was a really good mystery, there are still some things i still think i didnt get. First i understood that Ibuki and Akane had switched identities before coming to the island, but why did (the real) Ibuki murder Akane? I understood that it was a to "start a new life" sort off thing, right? and my other question is if she was pretending to be crippled? they kind off discussed this at the end with Jun and Ii-chan, but still i didnt fully get it

Do we ever get to know II’s true capabilities?

Just finished V2 and it was wonderful, but it becomes pretty clear that II lies to the reader, or at the very minimum, withhold information. It was clear in V1 as well, despite not getting the culprit (which might have not been his true intention...?? maybe? seems like he only cares about kunagisa and her safety) the guy is really smart.

From the looks of it, while he's fairly smart, he's not Jun level (probably, maybe something comes up in the other volumes to prove otherwise idk yet) but he constantly downplays himself from V1 saying he's just some dude. So, do we ever get to see him actually like, going all out? Or at least being more honest and to stop hiding behind his self deprecation? I wouldn't mind if we don't, i'm just curious.

Zaregoto is the best

I have read and seen a lot of anime/manga manwha and novels that I love, but if I had to forget one to re read it, it would be Zare a 100 %, I'm currently waiting around 6 years to re read after forgetting it

Zaregoto volume 10

If anyone ever reads zaregoto volume 10 or gets the raw, could you tell me what happens in the story or partially summarize it?

What's the chronology of the spinoffs?

What the title says. Both Ningen and Saikyou apparently jump all over the timeline, but I can't find a clear indicator of exactly when they take place.

The only ones I think I've clued in on is that Ningen 2&3 take place prior to Zaregoto, but Ningen 2 and the final Ningen novel take place around Zaregoto book 2, and the Iori Mutou Ningen book is supposedly after Zaregoto's ending. And even those placements I'm unsure about, since info on the series' generally seems scarce.

Is there any possibility to animation Kubishime?

I know Kubikiri BD sold well, but I haven't heard anything about it in years. Kubishime is my favorite and I really hope they animation it.

Should I still read Volume 1 of Zaregoto, even if I watched the Anime?

So I am currently at Volume 4 and the series is really good so far, but I’ve heard that the Anime that adaptes Volume 1 leaves some Things out. Are they important?

Who's that character from the Cannibal Magical cover?

I feel like I may be stupid but I genuinely can't tell. She looks nothing like any of the other character illustrations in this volume imo, and no other character from the series I'd recognize either. My closest guess would be Miiko, but still seems a bit unlikely. I may be tweaking
