@Purity of Magi chap 103 is out

So Seiko is free, and Sei is feeling abandoned by his mother, his trial is coming soon. Panels are really stunning, some are beautifully done, but crrepy. Lately, Oshimi is giving beautiful and often sad expressions to Seiko.
That panel is lovely !

I really love the luminous scenery, which contrasts to Sei's shadowy figure.

Spoiler

That pic is creepy and rich symbolically.

Chapter 105 Spoilers:

Sei is super duper nervous. Why won't his mom even look at him? Mother. Mother. Mother. It's all he can think of.

BUT WAIT WHAT'S THAT IN THE SKY?

Everyone in the courtroom looks up (the roof is gone of course). A shadowy figure is flying in the sky.

"It's a bird" yells Sei's dad who clearly needs a new prescription for his glasses.

"It's a plane" yells someone else.

But then the shadowy figure lets out a hearty laugh.

"Ha Ha Ha. Fear not Sei. For Justice has arrived!"

Sei smiles the biggest smile. He is now finally free.

FOR MEAT BUN HAS ARRIVED.


But then Seiko transforms

INTO RED BEAN BUN and screams

"SEI BELONGS TO I THE GREAT AND POWERFUL RED BEAN BUN. IF YOU WANT HIM THEN YOU MUST FIGHT ME TO THE DEATH!!!!"

Meat Bun

"Very well then."

Steam rises from Meat Bun.

Chap 105 - The trial started : ahah awesome that Seiko reaction

Her answer

Spoiler

 

[mrsticky005]

I may be the only person who wants this...

But if they ever do a live action drama of A Trail of Blood
I think instead of a trailer they should collab with PaolofromTokyo.

"This is a day in the life of two average Japanese families on an uneventful hiking trip"

chap 106/107 Things are getting interesting, that Seiko was absolutely savage she ended up mentioning something like not being loved as a child, as i expected, she might have some scars from her childhood. Sei is going mad right now, will he kill her ? That heinous look in his eyes, hes really creepy !

selected panels :

Spoiler: 106

Spoiler: 107

Chapter is out since a couple of days but only in French, linking it here in case you want to see it, coz it's interesting, and art is amazingly translating Sei emotions/mental state, but wont spoil anything before Eng version is out : https://www.bluesolo.org/manga/les-liens-du-sang/chapitre-108/

Is this Seiko in the flesh, or another one of Sei's fantasies?

That's definitely your queen in flesh, during the trial

Read chapter 74. Seichi snitched to the fucking police. What an ungrateful excuse for a human. He just came from finishing himself off after dreaming of Fukuchi too. Talk about rock bottom.

--- Double Post Merged, Jan 21, 2022, Original Post Date: Jan 21, 2022 ---

It's Fukushi, right. Well chapter 82 can be used as an emetic...

--- Double Post Merged, Jan 21, 2022 ---

Ah, Seiko makes her play in chapter 100. Very satisfying that the mangaka made this a milestone.

--- Double Post Merged, Jan 21, 2022 ---

The manga should just end at chapter 106 so savage!!

--- Double Post Merged, Jan 21, 2022 ---

I really do feel for Seiichi, his life is fucked.

--- Double Post Merged, Feb 3, 2022 ---

The father did try with Seichi, gotta pay that.

--- Double Post Merged, Feb 24, 2022 ---

Get the feeling there's something in those documents that caused the old man to apologise this ch.

 

[Erinyes]

I used to dislike his father, but now I feel bad for him. I think too there might be some secrets/reveals in the docs, important enough to make him apologize. I'm wondering what happened to Seiko and, if those docs content is related to her. Sei is losing now the only person who was caring a little for him. I still feel Seiko must have some painful past or something that made her do what she did. I still love that crazy part of her personality it's what's make the manga more entertaining and her character more engaging. I d love to see her but at her best/craziest just for the sake of my enjoyment.

Art wise some panels are really gorgeous and meaningful :
this one from previous chap is ominious

Intertesting choice to paint the darkness :

Chap 115 so that was him. Ok not surprised. I'm curious now, what did he do to her ?

 

[Brandish μ]

The ending is coming, could be the craziest stuff yet.

 

[Erinyes]

Chap 117 guess who's back...?

Spoiler

some drama incoming , it's way too quiet but at the same time atmosphere is heavy, yes we re really close to the end. looking forward some Seiko background infos, hopefully we wont be disappointed.

Except we have never seen that girl before

...but we have seen her mother and she
is definitely the spitting image of her.

What was her name again?

 

[Erinyes]

What was her name again?

Fukiishi

 

[Brandish μ]

What was her name again?

Exactly. Hoping for a one chapter resolution for this one.

Amazing Seiko art Oshimi posted recently and he added sei's one

Chi no wadachi is on big comic superior mag cover issue #10

+ color page

 

[Brandish μ]

Fukuchi and Sei don't really want to confront that past. I don't entirely agree with Sei's comment about their being no loose ends, but he has resolved to a 'goodbye' which might be as much as he's able to handle currently.

I guess this will be from 119. He's in despair.
