That would make sense. It was drawn as a very clean cut like it was done by glass.
They might have gotten unlucky in that regard in that they are airing the same season as Nokotan. That show has really sucked all the meme air out of the room this season.
Good chapter, but I am confused about how she cut her hand? Was it on the glass? the water? It wasn't really clear.
I like how even when she is in borrowed lounge wear, she still has to put her elaborate ribbon/head band on.
I hadn't heard of this one, but the visual had me thinking it was a manhwa. I just looked up the synopsis and it makes the series sound quite ominous: "At first, Kirishima seems amiable and polite–but when he shows his dark side, he proves to be more disturbing than any gangster Yoshino has ever met." Also looks like the series has won several awards before as well. I haven't taken a good look at the Fall season yet, but this sounds interesting.
Is it bad? I remember reading a bit of the manga and dropping it because it didn't hold my interest. When I saw this I thought that maybe the anime adaptation was somehow better if they are getting more seasons.
I pretty regularly interact with high school kids irl while doing one of my hobbies and Gen Z trends do move too fast:
Recently posted about this in the weekly thread and the final chapters just got translated. I enjoyed this series more than I thought I would based on the premise. I do wish we got more backstory on the girls though.
Yeah, I think Sherlock is the best comparison and it is what I kept referencing in my head when I watched the series. Excellent Sherlock-type story with an Imperial China flavor to it all.
As I am catching up on news from Anime Expo while also on vacation, I happened to notice this reddit thread about season 2 of Chained Soldier changing studios to Passione. I can't find any confirmation on a news site, but thought it was interesting. A common refrain from the discussion threads with @MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz in this community for season 1 was how lackluster the production was.
Passione has a history of ecchi series including titles such as "Interspecies Reviewers" and "Harem in the Labyrinth of Another World." Hopefully they can bring their expertise to bear in order to spice up the adaptation going forward.

So, are they implying that both Killian Cardin and Master Grave have somehow retained their memories through the loops? That could explain how Killian is so mature for his age that he even surprises Aster.
I think it is an open question at this point what Aster wants her end game to be. She did the time loops for the sake of her mother, but what is it that she wants? Killian asked her in this chapter, but she simply avoided the question.
