omori-manga-📖

[topaz hill]

And ok that’s fine

[broken totem]

[inland laurel]

honestly by looking at all the redraws for the manga it can be really expressive also

even in game i feel like the main art pieces show emotions just right

[serene juniper]

the decision to hire nui is simply confusing on all fronts

it's important to understand that the pseudonym konoito nui spawned around the omori manga's announcement. they have no prior works or recognition under that name. which would mean either omocat or kodansha is covering for her with a new identity or they both approved a literal newbie drawing the omori adaptation

[verbal basalt]

mm

We know whos konoito nui

[serene juniper]

https://tenor.com/view/saul-goodman-breaking-bad-pronouns-mutuals-better-call-saul-gif-25852289

[verbal basalt]

and his sussy previous works

[serene juniper]

yes, because all of her identities are literally clark kent tier

she always includes nu in the name, same art style, usually a 666 thrown in there

the purple is a new bit though

lmao

also the 🩷 💜

even then, your average omori manga fan only knows about the past stuff because of ozukeim

to any normal person it really is like this random spawned in and somehow grabbed the omori manga

[verbal basalt]

🥀

[tulip skiff]

omocat hiring some out of nowhere random person with no backlog with no background checks sounds about right either way

"holy shit look at that omori fanart!"

[arctic junco]

My boy still suffering even in other works

[arctic junco]

Ehh. That's probably because you're already an Omori fan
To everyone else, they might just scratch their heads and wonder how this became a manga with how plain the characters look ig

[winter mantle]

Wait hold up. What chapter is this cuz I can’t find this page

[inland laurel]

its the new 10th chapter :p

[inland laurel]

a lot of people got into omori because of the artstyle tho

including me

[arctic junco]

Yes, and my statement doesn't serve to invalidate that

[topaz hill]

Same it’s unique

[verbal basalt]

Only artstyle?

The colours... The osts... The plot....

[inland laurel]

naa i didnt say ONLY because of it 😭

but i meant as a first glance getting into it deal

first u see the art, and you think its awesome, u get into the game, u like the other stuff

[scenic plover]

Honestly i dont think it will work sadly 😭😭

[scenic plover]

Since if omori does end up having an anime they have to include lots of fillers since outside of HS there isnt really enough things happening to release a full anime

I dont think the fillers are enough either

[verbal basalt]

I thought half of the game was filler

[scenic plover]

Honestly yeah it really is

Omocat did say that omori could only work as a video game

😭😭

[verbal basalt]

Mmm

Would u compare this game with zelda

[arctic junco]

Not really.

They're wildly different

[verbal basalt]

Mmm

Are u sure

There are some things u can compare between both games

[marble smelt]

theyre not even remotely similar lmao

[arctic junco]

If anything, one cour (13 episodes) could do okay with Omori

If you only do Faraway LMAO

With all the Headspace stuff? It'll need more than one cour

[scenic plover]

Faraway has too little scenes omg 75% of the whole game was a HS filler at that point 😭🙏

If they actually end up having an anime tho i just hope the art isnt made by a creep or it should definitely have some more lore to the characters

[verbal basalt]

Heh you cant say majoras mask is not similar

[arctic junco]

The two series have different aims and missions

Vibes alone does not make two things similar, me thinks

[topaz hill]

Yeah you're right

[jagged gate]

you can kill me for this take but imo omori manga should have been one of those 100 chaps 5-year fleshed out isekai-type slop manga

....minus the Isekai minus the slop

[spare valve]

Me and my friend read ch10 and at the end where sunny goes to whitespace(?) we genuinely thought we missed a few pages

[rigid horizon]

@fallow quail

Aaaa

@fallow quail

@fallow quail

@fallow quail

Aaaa

[scenic plover]

😭😭

[spare valve]

Kel neglect the chapter

Dont grt me wrong im glad they didnt skip over it entirely and seeing hero snap at kel visually was cool

And fucking

“Polly, we found your guy!”

Also

The first panel of hero

Wtf happened

long neck

Wait all this time just to see kel angst bro 🥀

[still sonnet]

I wanna read the omori manga but it isnt avaliable in the uk is there a vpn or something I can use

[tall summit]

You can use a vpn but you'd still need to pay for the latest chapters

[inland laurel]

this happens to me every chapter

😈

[inland laurel]

banger lines from this guy only

[inland laurel]

he was serving facecard while saving lives n stuff💀🙏

[jolly flume]

I just received the preorder for the chapter 2 omori book and i only got 1 photocard but no photo for kel. Am i supposed to receive both or is it random?

[mortal pebble]

anyone have the site for the manga

i need it

pls

[winter mantle]

I read the 10th chapter but I didn’t find it lol 😭

[inland laurel]

HUH

thats weird gang

its ||right after kel tells the story about what happened with hero||

[verbal basalt]

WHERES THE FOKIN MANGA

https://tenor.com/hcrzd3Xpc76.gif

oh

Ive read it

the make hero look so bad

for 2 pages

[topaz hill]

In chapter 10?

I still haven’t read it yet

[topaz hill]

The chapter

[verbal basalt]

yep

[topaz hill]

Wonder how that happened

[spare valve]

REAL

[halcyon sky]

where to find chap 10

[knotty shoal]

just wait until the truth scene

[verbal basalt]

the manga ends there

[winter mantle]

Unlikely Omo's gonna show it

[woven radish]

i also wanna read it so badly,,

[verbal basalt]

ngl

I think they will show post truth scene

Maybe

The purpose of the game was choosing between living with the guilt or killing it saying the truth

but since this is the manga

it could be different

[marble smelt]

dm me

[marble smelt]

dm me

[knotty shoal]

She be doin her best to get game theory's attention

[marble smelt]

its random

[woven radish]

thumbs up

hold

[marble smelt]

k manga but only in a handful of countries

[winter mantle]

Even so, she won't show anything more than them, Idk, giving Sunny shocked and angered gazes (which is already expected reaction) and leaving the room. But I doubt it'll bring new theories... and she likely won't show more

[knotty shoal]

Except a "Distraught Mari vs Furious Mari" theory war

[winter mantle]

never heard of it

[jolly flume]

Damm that sucks are there people who sell it separately from the book?

[knotty shoal]

Basically whether Mari was either distraught or angry at Sunny for breaking the violin

[verbal basalt]

anyways

sunny will STILL move out

[topaz hill]

It’s probably on eBay

[winter mantle]

And avoid the consequences, yaaaay

and abandon basil :3

[marble smelt]

yeah, i’ve seen them around
it can get expensive though

[winter mantle]

If seriously, showing the reaction to bring back the theories probably would be futile. So, I doubt she will

[upper sail]

I feel like putting them in a jail cell together is a poor idea

[knotty shoal]

That aside, if Omocat is planning on continuing the story beyond the confession in the manga, I wonder if it'll be through a national manhunt for Sunny and his accomplice Mom (and Aubrey if she randomly decides to turn the hooligans into a criminal organization soley for avenging Mari)

[upper sail]

sorry I missed the shadow ping

didn't see

[mortal pebble]

this is bullshit

:C

[marble smelt]

if you’re not in one of the countries where it’s accessible, dm me

[verbal basalt]

Sunny moves out post confession

There are many ways of fixing the plot hole

And even if you try to continue it you wouldnt have a real conflict

Unless...

[rigid token]

I have not seen dran. It's sad because for once I wanted to celebrate the manga

[verbal basalt]

Todays chapter was just rl hero introduction

[spare valve]

I dont think it was bad for what it focuses on

But the chapter itself just feels like

Huhh

[hazy ocean]

It would be weird to show the gang reaction to the truth. Since the whole point of the game is that Sunny accept it, forgive himself, and tell it to the others and that their reaction isnt that important.

But the manga should show how the truth itself happened, from Sunny destroying the violon to the hanging.

[coarse nymph]

I love the enviroments ts so peak

[supple locust]

JUST learned omori has a manga what

How/where does one read it

[rigid token]

It is very bad

But also good

Also only so many places have access to it maybe ask user darklin

Darklink

[supple locust]

Interesting

[supple locust]

I’ll give it a shot 🫡

[topaz hill]

Tell us how you like it when you get to a few chapters

[arctic junco]

Officially, it should be in the K-Manga app
But availability varies

[supple locust]

WILL DO

[marble smelt]

i can dm you rn if you still need it

[supple locust]

YA SURE

How many chapters does it currently have rn?

[arctic junco]

10

[supple locust]

Oh damn thought it was a big longer 😭

[arctic junco]

It's a monthly release tbf

[supple locust]

Oooooh damn 💔

[marble smelt]

u need to accept the message request btw

easy to miss on mobile

[tulip skiff]

i still love how there is some random almost entierly vertical construction site that is just linked to the ship for whatever reason

[hollow pewter]

when did they drop chapter 10?

[inland laurel]

like

2 days ago??

[topaz hill]

Yep

[inland laurel]

[nimble moss]

I entered this chat briefly and immediately saw my name.

Aw, did you miss me that much~?

[rigid token]

As someone with a kel pfp I am legally obligated to say 'nah' to someone qith an aubrey pfp ;p

Jokes aside you've been great

[nimble moss]

Aw, thank you.

[spare valve]

True darklink goated

[nimble moss]

Anyways, as said, people can still ping me here if somebody needs new chapters.

I have them all.

[pastel oasis]

um

[knotty shoal]

Which is the only reason (other than possible anime which I no longer care about) I even read the manga

And honestly now that you mention it

I think that alone is the reason the manga exists

[nimble moss]

Oh wait, yeah, it just occurred to me of the possibility that, instead of seeing it in glimpses of Basil's memories, it might actually show it actively happening, like Kel's story about Hero's depression in the last chapter.

[hazy ocean]

I mean, showing it picture by picture wouldnt really work in a manga.

[knotty shoal]

And besides we already got enough Basil accusers to begin with

[undone hull]

erm actually ☝️🤓 that is NOT 1st degree murder, since it wasn't planned, 2nd degree would be better since it was the heat of the moment situation

sorry 😞

[marble smelt]

if you do an ''erm actually'' at least make sure your statement is correct 😭

its 3rd degree

1nd degree is planned and intentional
2nd degree is unplanned but intentional (like getting in an argument and suddenly getting the idea to kill them with the weapon youre already holding)
3rd degree is unplanned and unintentional

[arctic junco]

He doesn't have to be abandoned...

[lilac summit]

But I doubt he would face charges let alone have an manhunt nationwide for him. His charges would probably only be involuntary Manslaughter and tampering. But it could happen as far as I'm aware in all the states , there is no statue of limitations to any sort of crime that involves another human killing another

[rigid token]

we need more Basil positive things. I'm tired of people having awful takes of the boy or 'he is the weakest of the bunch'

[inland laurel]

holy moly what if they show their reactions to her death too

not the funeral but when they find out

[nimble moss]

That would definitely be interesting.

Like the closest thing to official Truth reactions with the exception of those unused pieces of art, basically.

[inland laurel]

OH YEAH dyou think theyd how their reactions to the truth??

honestly they might use the unused expressions in that one piece of art

[rigid token]

I would kill for Basil's. the moment it sinks for him that sunny did in fac tkill mari adn it wasn't a monster

[winter mantle]

Logically he will be. And he deserved ut 🙂

[arctic junco]

https://tenor.com/view/tom-senya-gif-26024901

[winter mantle]

Yeah, yeah, just keep hiding your inability to protect that piece of flower trash, bud. Just keep on smiling. Just keep denying the reality, everything is going to be ok, right?

[marble smelt]

ur just ragebaiting atp

[inland laurel]

wowza!

[tulip skiff]

Omori is a lot more.... Real than that

To say it in some way

i dont think they will show the reactions directly, omocat isnt that stupid

nui might be

[inland laurel]

bad piggies is right🥀

[tulip skiff]

what would you even DO.

The best way to handle both truth reactions and the truth itself is to not show it directly

The manga would just flash their faces one after another or even worse just have sunny explain the thing outright

It cant really do anything else while keeping up with its pacing

Just fucking cut it off 🙏

have one last flashback or something

[inland laurel]

honeslty i'd be fine with just the expressions since those are already a thing. but we dont need to hear sunny tell the whole thing 😭🙏

[hazy ocean]

We dont need to see the reaction to the truth since thats really not what the games themes is about

But we keed to at least see some part of the truth itself

[fathom gulch]

I hope the manga ends up with a full page speech from Sunny on the games message spoken directly to the reader

I think that would really connect with audiences around the world

[hazy ocean]

The story should end in a dance party

[fathom gulch]

And Basil should get up and go "So, that was a story huh? Hope you all learned as much as me and Sunny did!"

[inland laurel]

hero: whats that? i think i hear a song coming up everybody!!!!

and then they roll credits and all characters have their solo dances

including SOMETHING OMORI

[fathom gulch]

And then Mr Jawsum and he's like "Don't forget the pizza, boys!" And it'd be so awesome

[inland laurel]

i guess you could say that..

heh..

itd be so jawesome

[hazy ocean]

https://tenor.com/view/star-yoda-anakin-skywalker-ghost-gif-18258912

Mari's ghost appearing during the party to wink at Sunny.

[tulip skiff]

sunny ends telling the truth and his dad returns with the milk

[fathom gulch]

"Son, I'm here! Everything is okay! Sister is alive, she never actually had anything happen to her"

[serene juniper]

I NEED truth reactions

[marble smelt]

not happening

[pastel oasis]

insert special edition joke about ghost mari height or whatever

[mint barn]

me when my names sweetheart and im bonked by a girl named aubrey 💔💔💔💔💔❤️‍🩹💔💔💔 (chapter 7 obviously)

[pale cedar]

hell yeah

[scenic bloom]

@nimble moss May I have the new chapter please?

[pale cedar]

you rhink boss man hero will be in the maga?

.
manga*

[nimble moss]

Sure! Right this way into DMs~!

[hazy ocean]

He is an hikkikomori only boss, so probably not.

The manga already skips a lot of big stuff in HS. That's not to add a console-only boss.

[pale cedar]

yeah, true

[nimble moss]

Something I expect the manga to MAYBE do is add one more segment for Headspace after this one which adds some Hikkikomori Route exclusive content, but now within the context of Sunny doing the Sunny Route.

[topaz hill]

I was honestly hoping for the manga to end with the good ending route. But maybe the manga might just combine both of them anyway

[winter mantle]

Like, he tells the truth, they "tag" him, he cries and does oyasumi?

[topaz hill]

I guess, I didn’t really prepare a full idea on that

[verbal basalt]

or sunny says this and then we see sunnys mouth open for first time in the manga

and finally see the reactions
the car credits wont make it look good

• there is the probability that the manga will take another path

[royal shore]

10/10 joke

[royal shore]

You could even say the joke itself is

Jawsome

It hurt typing that

[rigid token]

@compact peak I wanted to say something but I have not seen you.
I actually enjoyed this chapter
it was a bit on the nose (too direct) in the storytelling
But Hero and Kel made me happy.

I just wanted to share it since I am aware you often find much negativity about the manga. I hope you're having a wonderful week

[spare valve]

I think the kel and hero lore was peak

[daring temple]

RAHHH

[compact peak]

Sorry. If I've learned anything this year, it's that visiting here right after the manga is updated only makes me feel worse.
So I've learned to wait a bit before coming here, so that I don't see the mob spamming me with emotional, short comments or sharing pirated copies like it's their right.
My plan was to wait until the new month, but I'm glad you spoke to me, Erichthonios.
As for my impressions, I'm also glad that I got to see that scene with HERO and Kel in person.

[scenic plover]

NO WAYY

[topaz hill]

[inland laurel]

so true

the omori game lacked a lot on kel and hero interactions unfort 💔

[violet aurora]

Imagine if the Omori Manga makes Kel eat a burger

[broken totem]

DAAAAMNNN

CONGRATS

[rigid token]

For what it's worth, I understand your feelings perfectly. It's sad to see something you love not being appreciated and I am sorry for tagging you if you wanted to wait more. For what it's worth people appreciated this chapter for the most part (the ending was poorly paced once more but now we're used to it, right?) and Kel and Hero getting time to shine, unlike the game where they're kinda just.. there.
The manga shows us that Hero not only loves Kel (which is a normal thing but you get what I mean, right?) but he's also attentive to him in ways other people may not be and, despite everything, he's aware of his struggles.
Kel being shown as the one who jumped in the lake to save Basil got me as well.
This was a good chapter and I have plenty to say about it in the positives, so I just really wanted to share positives with you.. I am about to go to my crochet group, but I'm sending you plenty of well being wishes!

[tulip skiff]

aubreyistheburgercharactertho

asfarasomocatstuffgoes

[hazy ocean]

Kel is the orange joe and soup character

[inland laurel]

i hope its a hot dog instead

plot twist of a lifetime

hes a hotdogger trust me chat

can barely see it but it says hotdogs in his email teehee

[pastel oasis]

Child Kel in 1996 or something figures out how to give himself goofy email name

[scarlet eagle]

LOL

[compact garden]

Haha

[pallid glen]

moment

[tulip skiff]

wonder if anyone every got clean images of these

[topaz hill]

Like this?

[pallid glen]

Someone probably dose
Most certainly

[pallid glen]

I’m stealing this now

[verbal basalt]

Xx_xX in 2025

[marble smelt]

199X actually 🤓

[verbal basalt]

but was that created in 199X

?

[marble smelt]

last resort takes place in 199X

so yes it does

[verbal basalt]

and um

whats last resort

[marble smelt]

have you not finished the game

[verbal basalt]

no

[marble smelt]

why are you here then 😭

[verbal basalt]

im average person who only watches the

playthrough

[marble smelt]

did you fully watch the video at least

[verbal basalt]

cuz I dont want to play the whole game

with puzzles

and more puzzles

[marble smelt]

it has like

3 puzzles total

[verbal basalt]

or finding stuff

or having 99 interactions with npcs

[serene juniper]

spoiler alert: most people who like omori are people who haven't played the game

[verbal basalt]

Aha

[serene juniper]

because if they played the game they'd hate it

[verbal basalt]

pretty sure the only thing they would appreciate in the game is the ost

and the art

[inland laurel]

WOA WHAT i was never able to get it

that clean😭😭

[inland laurel]

u just dont understand peak email design like kel does 😡😡

[inland laurel]

is that why people are mad kel showed emotions in the manga

[serene juniper]

I mean

some people do get dumb about it but that last chapter was definitely much angstier than how the game presents it

and some people will like it and some people won't

[inland laurel]

i feel like its the same amount, jusy with actual pictures showing the situation

I AGREE IT WAS

sorta

angsty

with what hero said

but i like knowing more about kel since he barely ever talks about himself like that so😭

[serene juniper]

the several panels of hero grabbing/pushing kel and kel clenching his fists when he sees hero are definitely manga additions

[inland laurel]

true

tbf kel WAS a little vague and didnt get that much into detail

so its nice to get at least SOME detail

even if it looks kinda exaggerated ig

[serene juniper]

I just don't like the manga tbh lmao

[inland laurel]

oh nah me neither

i hate it 💀

this last chapter was just sorta decent and im glazing it because it had kel lore 🥀

[serene juniper]

yeah I assumed most people would just be in it for "x favorite character crumbs"

[fathom gulch]

I don't like the manga but I thought the last chapter was actually alright

I liked how they handled Heros meltdown

[arctic junco]

Basil... When will they have Basil be insane as hell...

[spare valve]

Truth

[pastel oasis]

Soon brother…soon

[wind parrot]

are the english physical versions of the manga being sold?

[marble smelt]

no

those haven’t even been printed yet

if you see them being advertised anywhere like on ebay or something they’re either unofficial or a scam

[wind parrot]

oh alright yeah i saw them on ebay first so i was wondering if they were a scam

thanks!

[inland laurel]

chat im rereading the manga for whatever reason look at this awesome teamwork🔥🔥

[hazy ocean]

Kel solo fiction

[tulip skiff]

how many "sunny/omori is fucking useless" scenes has the manga had so far

omori has plot armored some things but they havent really done shit

[topaz hill]

I’m starting to see why Omori couldn’t catch the ball in kel’s follow up attack

||(I’m aware he does later in the game)||

[spiral willow]

Still my fav scene to this day

It feels like Kel wasnt thinking about throwing a can at Kim, but seeing Sunny getting humiliated for this caused him to defend him

[inland laurel]

and gets depressed because of it💔💔favorite followup btw

[inland laurel]

rereading the manga i noticed kel is always doing whatever he can to stand up for sunny

thats my GOAT

in the game he alrdy did that but here he just does it times 100

MY GOATED GOAT🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[topaz hill]

https://tenor.com/view/sad-omori-sad-omori-omori-emotions-gif-20095827

[topaz hill]

Yeah one of my favs too

[winter mantle]

hey guys

will i be attacked if i say the art style makes the characters look 11

[topaz hill]

No

[inland laurel]

youre absolutely right 😭🙏

[winter mantle]

god when i saw hero i was like hello

that's a .. 19 year old

but it's good

i just didn't expect the art style and how that sunny is overly reacting nkw

[topaz hill]

Yeah for me the the faces make them look younger

[winter mantle]

and the body imo

maris body is just.. not accurate

[topaz hill]

True

[inland laurel]

yeah sunnys expressions is one of my biggest issue with this manga ngl

[elder drum]

why sunny be lookin like that bru

what is that run 😭

[topaz hill]

Omori having expression without Aubrey’s pep talk feels different

Actually no without any emotion abilities

[elder drum]

i mean i kinda like the way of sunny/omori's emotion in the manga

it kinda feels fresh in a way and

its acceptable

[topaz hill]

I do too, just not used to it

[winter mantle]

they just took away his character ngl

like 20 percent of his nonchalant

[spiral willow]

Nui

[inland laurel]

LITERALLY

i really loved how little he reacted, which made a lot of sense with the story

besides a literal butchering of his entire personality, sunny is supposed to be super "out of it"

and even ignoring that, he is just very poker faced in general

[winter mantle]

i feel like it's meant to show how numb he is

like traumatised

[winter mantle]

OMGTHIS

[inland laurel]

EXAAAACTLY that too that too

[hazy ocean]

You people keep forgetting its a manga.

[winter mantle]

ok and?

[hazy ocean]

It was either that or make him talk

[winter mantle]

explain?

[inland laurel]

his

ok listen

i 100% believe his game personality could have worked perfectly in the manga

[winter mantle]

also a manga genuinely has nothing to do with what we're saying

[inland laurel]

his manga expressions do not work with him at all either

[winter mantle]

literally

the manga expressions are too

much

could've made him look nervous and stuff but a single thing happens and he's overreacting

also it's not manga it's the artist

[inland laurel]

and i will be so straightforward rn, it feels like he's acting like a toddler most of the time

[hazy ocean]

He is the main character of the story, you're supposed to understand how he is feeling.

[winter mantle]

and idk about u but from me to you the anime sawako didn't speak a lot in the anime and was socially awkward and in the manga she stayed the same?

[winter mantle]

i understood him in the game

[winter mantle]

Omocat should've told him how to draw Sunny, no?

[inland laurel]

we could understand in the game

[winter mantle]

not how it works

[hazy ocean]

I was about to make that point

[winter mantle]

ur forgetting omoris meant to be a relatable game in SOME aspects and people who related to sunny do understand him

[inland laurel]

YEP

when sunny actually expresses something with his face, it's meant to be significant

manga sunny is just

not sunny at all

[winter mantle]

but honestly i wanna see how you think him overreacting makes us understand him more

[hazy ocean]

The game, because of how simplistic the graphism are, the player can guess Sunny's emotions based on the situation. They doesnt see his face too long for big cutscenes. The lack of visual information make it easier for them to guess how Sunny feels.

The manga HAS to show Sunny face.

[winter mantle]

doesn't HAVE to over exaggerate his facial expressions

like he's a little 9 year old boy

which he looked like

that basically just took away 50 percent of his character bye

[hazy ocean]

If you don’t see his face, you can guess his reaction. If you see it, you'll just assume his expression, or lack of, is his reaction.

[winter mantle]

they shouldn't of made a manga if they had to do it

[winter mantle]

i think that's just you honestly

[inland laurel]

hmmm

[winter mantle]

the thing is in the game he did not care 70 percent of the time (real life world)

[hazy ocean]

That was Game Sunny's expression when he stabbed Aubrey by the way.

[winter mantle]

i get the lake part and aubrey parts but the rest was odd

[winter mantle]

yeahikay

what was it in the manga

was it meant for it to be manic when he stabs aubrey

like what else was it meant to be

and ur forgetting he thought that was normal

since he spent 4 years in a dream world (literally stabbing people)

that's why he didn't care

[serene juniper]

I'm so glad omocat is taking advice from this genius

[hazy ocean]

He is obviously scared in the manga

[winter mantle]

yeah 🙏

that part is understandable ❤️

[hazy ocean]

If he was cliff faced like in the game, he would have just looked like he didn't care at all.

[inland laurel]

honestly even then i think sunny expresses himself just fine in official art/official pictures from the game. you can really draw him being himself, yet portray his expression. doesnt have to be so overly exaggerated like it is in the manga

[winter mantle]

that's probably because.. viewers are meant to relate?... idk tho..

[hazy ocean]

Like, do you guys see Jotaro ? In a lot of part of the manga. He just look like he doesnt care or is always stoic. Despite his character description in the manga stating that he is as emotional as anyone.

[inland laurel]

a lot of people have drawn sunny i mean yea, and they do it just fine

[winter mantle]

so ur telling me they argued then sunny just causally takes out a knife and stabs her boom shocked! yes logic!

i take out the knife nonchalantly then realises what i've done when i slash my old friend 💔

[winter mantle]

fr

i feel like the manga artist drawing them as kids has something to do with it

[inland laurel]

i liked the knife thing in the game cus that was supposed to be like him mistaking headspace from reality

[winter mantle]

FORREAL

i feel like at that scene he needed to process what he done when he saw the others faces

cuz he's been stabbing ppl in a real life like world for 4 years he's forgotten his morals💔

[inland laurel]

i will admit the only character that is decently portrayed is kel 💀

[winter mantle]

ok anyway person i was arguing with i wasn't tryna be mean💔

[inland laurel]

hero well, he's drawn like a 12 year old just like everyone else I GUESS PERSONALITY WISE HES AIGHT

[winter mantle]

[inland laurel]

its not only his build (especially knowing the artist's background 💀 )but the way he ACTS

[compact peak]

The scene where Sunny slashes Aubrey is different between the game and the manga (I can understand the opinion that it is unacceptable because it is not exactly like the game).

But how about considering the debate over whether OMORI and Sunny are the same being, or different personalities?

In Japan, the interpretation that they are different personalities is mainstream. I personally think that some parts have merged, and that both the same being and different personalities are blended together little by little.

In the game, players have controlled OMORI to attack and defeat enemies as a matter of course. However, even when the controlled character changed to Sunny in the real world, I attacked the enemy Aubrey without any hesitation in the same way. I'm sure everyone who played this game for the first time felt the same way, right? This confusion between dream and reality was an experience given to the player.

At this point, the player must ask themselves, is this the person playing this game on a PC? My interpretation is that it was Sunny who was controlling OMORI. (It's hard to explain, but it's like Sonny is looking at the game screen.) In other words, Sonny literally attacked Aubrey as if it were a game.

In the manga, OMORI's face, not Sunny's, is reflected on the knife just before slashing Aubrey.
What if we think of this attack as OMORI taking control of Sunny's body?
In fact, OMORI is controlled by Sunny throughout the game, but in the scene where Sunny heads to the treehouse with Basil in HS (RS), OMORI is no longer under Sunny's control and moves on her own.
Similarly, in the scene where Sunny commits suicide in the hospital, we think that OMORI has completely taken control of Sunny's consciousness in the real world.

[violet river]

I think the difference in interpretation between the two culrutes isn't as massive as you think, but the interpretation of its implications is

In Western culture, Omori would be considered an Alter Ego, quite literally an alternative personality

the difference is only in that in the West, that is still considered as a part of the great being called Sunny (ie. Sunny's ego is his personality, Omori is his alter ego, then he has his subconscious Superego (his idea) and his Id (his instictual self))

As it goes in my interpretation, Omori is a different personality he created as an escape mechanism, a different personality still wholely subservient to the greater being called Sunny.

[violet river]

For example, in my interpretation, no way Omori attacks Aubrey

It is 100% Sunny as he is still confused what is reality and what is a game

[compact peak]

Yes, you are right.
Omori is an alternate personality that Sunny created as an escape.
It is a sin.

Are they completely subordinate? I feel that there is a misinterpretation of this.

[hazy ocean]

A big part of the game is we dont really know where Sunny stops and Omori starts

[violet river]

And in the hospital, Sunny does commit suicide in the literal most traditional western psychological sense. Ie. when his Ego gives up to Sunny (his alter ego), he also loses to his Superego, this is the Freudian suicide. Essentially Sunny already killed himself when he gave up during the fight. The physical suicide is the juts a consequence

[compact peak]

Are they completely subordinate? I feel that there is a misinterpretation of this.

[violet river]

This is a matter of the complciated meaning in this relation. What you consdier Sunny is his Ego, to which Omori isn't subservient, but Omori is subservient to the greater beign called Sunny

[compact peak]

This is about the manga, right?
What do you think about the interpretation that Omori was trying to protect Sunny from his guilt?

[violet river]

In the manga, I think the reflection tries to show that he still thinks of himself in a the game dream world

unable still to comprehead that this is reality

and Yes, Omori is protecting Sunny from the truth

that's why he is an escape mechanism

I think the main difference in interpretation is that the Japanese cultue gives much more prominense to Omori as an independent entity, while Western cutures places him strictly within the mental relation of Sunny's psyche between his other parts of his mind

[compact peak]

I think that's right. That's why I feel that this issue will not be accepted globally.

If I'm not mistaken in my feeling that the world is largely Western-minded.

[violet river]

it is

[violet river]

interpretations can go a long way for a lot of things

arguments about Mari being a real ghost or not continue forever

[compact peak]

If I was born in the West and grew up surrounded by Western culture, I think I would be able to understand everyone's opinions better.
I try to learn from different interpretations, but it's difficult with my small brain.
Thanks for the conversation, Pickle Orwell.

[violet river]

no problem, I was just trying to point out that the difference isn't that big iyam, but it does matter quite a bit for the interpretion of Sunny's and Omori's actions

[pastel oasis]

Coming back to ze manga, I think that they finally showed a substantial adaptational difference with showing the kel v hero fight instead of just talking about it

I’m right, right?

[arctic junco]

It's definitely a different move than what the game did.

[pastel oasis]

I consider this a win

…it IS a win, right?

Oh well the manga justified itself somewhat, it will do

[inland laurel]

i will take it as a win🔥🔥

the more kel lore i get the better

and we also got more of kel AND hero's relationship which we barely get in the game for whatever reason

[pastel oasis]

So far Kel and Hero has been the only character who has benefited from the manga

And excluding The Maverick at first made the heart grow fonder I think

[hazy ocean]

Aubrey too

BY FAR

[inland laurel]

WELL

a lot of people dont like how shes written in the manga from what I've seen

i think she's way too aggressive or sum

[violet river]

Aubrey was butchered

[pastel oasis]

Yeah her initial introduction was missing The Maverick

How can you recover from that?

[violet river]

The Maverick being gone is the best part of the manga

[pastel oasis]

Take that back this instant you sour cucumber

[violet river]

Mikheal should have never been born

[violet aurora]

OH MY GOODNESS FINALLY SOMEONE THAT ALSO HATES MIKHAEL WITH A BURNING PASSION

[violet river]

Every time he was on screen I was literally kel

[sand compass]

??wtf did he do 😭

[pastel oasis]

Would you like to loose your angel eyes?

[violet river]

https://tenor.com/view/omori-kel-awful-disgust-disgusted-gif-14443934483982887193

Me every time he is on screen

[pastel oasis]

Kel’s only sin

[violet aurora]

I have an angrier face everytime a hooligan is on screen

But man Mikhael and Angel are the worst

At least Kim and Vance are only bribed by candy

Aubrey is just a good girl turned bad

And Charleen? Charlie? I don't know but when I first saw the hooligans she was kinda my favourite because she lowkey chill af

[violet river]

Uhm, annoying arrogant Chuunibyou that fucking pays women to hang out with him to appear cool? What didn't he do wrong?

[violet aurora]

BUT MAVERICK AND ANGEL

[violet river]

Mikhael is literally failing at life

and is making it everyone else's problem

[violet aurora]

Mikhael's hoes and wig can suck my ass

I'm so thankful he only has like one frame in the manga

[sand compass]

Well hes in a gang for a reason

[pastel oasis]

The Maverick should get a manga of his own

[violet aurora]

MIKHAEL

[violet river]

yeah but the others aren't that awful

[inland laurel]

EXCUSE ME😡😡⁉️⁉️⁉️

[violet aurora]

DO NOT FUCKING REFER TO THAT MOTHERFUCKER WITH HIS FUCKING SHADY ASS FUCKING "COOL" NICKNAME

IT'S MIKHAEL

[violet river]

Angel is just an annoying kid, Charlie is just an introvert, Vance is just there to be with his sister, Kim is kinda awful but at least she has ONE REDEEMING QUALITY, Aubrey is amazing

[sand compass]

true ig, hes kinda there just to be an idiot

[pastel oasis]

So much of the manga would be better if it was focused on The Maverick

[inland laurel]

i didnt think there were people who unironically hated on mikhael

he was funny to me

[violet aurora]

Mikhael #1 hater here

You can not find a person that hates him more I bet you

[violet river]

what was funny about him

it was so cringe

[inland laurel]

yeah thats whats funny

he's cringe

[violet river]

https://tenor.com/view/omori-kel-real-world-faraway-far-gif-1159510557230064193

me when Mikhael

[inland laurel]

he has like 2 seconds of screentime its FIIIINEEE

[violet river]

but he is not fun cringe, he is not a good Chuunibyou

[pastel oasis]

I am remembering a scene from a comedic Omori fanfic where Basil inexpicably becomes terrified when he starts being attracted to The Maverick

And literally nothing comes of it

It’s just

[inland laurel]

i think the manga would be better if basil x mikhael becomes a thing

[hazy ocean]

Maverick hate in big 2025 💔

[inland laurel]

youre so right THE MIMIC

im saying this as the SPIT IMAGE OF.KEL.HIMSELF 🔥🔥🔥

i am kel he is me we are kel🥓

aw man i want bacon

[violet river]

oh my God, yes

[pastel oasis]

I should also mention that after The Maverick picks up on Basil’s internal conflict in the fanfic, he decides to call him “Basil-Kun”

[violet river]

Basil deserves that

[inland laurel]

💀💀💀💀hes such a loser

[hazy ocean]

Goated villain

[violet river]

I hope Basil x The Maverick is canon so I know those blonde mfs are suffering

[hazy ocean]

Goated best friend

[inland laurel]

WOWZA

[violet river]

the Basil hate here is ironic

[inland laurel]

even kel feels bad for him at some point thats crazy

i used to hate basil years ago but now i like him teehee

real good character, its just some of tje fans really got to me

[pastel oasis]

I’m glad that all of us can agree that The Maverick deserves peak male performance

[violet river]

the only reason to feel bad for Mikhael is that he is in a very religious family and is clearly not happy with that, but I lost all respect for him the moment he paid women to hang out with him

that's not funny, that's pathetic and quite disgusting

[inland laurel]

it is ridiculous but i could tell it was written to be funny hehe haha😭

because he's THE loser

he sucks

but i like bro🙏hes just a loser

[pastel oasis]

I need a manga and/or fanfic to explore the marvelous misadventures of The Maverick and Angel

And then slowly descend into fcking hell

[inland laurel]

would last 1 panel cus they die halfway thru

[compact peak]

I think Mikael has his own struggles, though they're not super serious.
His family's religious beliefs don't force him to follow them.
His family owns a bakery, so he doesn't have to.
There's nothing wrong with expressing who you want to be.
Even if it's the wrong way to do it, he's still a kid and has time to learn. It's the same with the main characters.

[hazy ocean]

He's just an edgy teen

[pastel oasis]

I mean cmon everyone it’s the best of both worlds
The fanbase can watch him at his best
And his hatefolk can watch him suffer incomprehensible horrors

[hazy ocean]

Its not like he actually hurt people or is mean-spirited.

[violet river]

He is still paying for women to hang around with him smh, the funny stopped the moment he decided to be just the worst

[hazy ocean]

You're acting like they werent girls his age, and were forced to to so. Its stupid and pathetic, but they he wasn’t forcing them or anything, they left the moment they wanted to.

[compact peak]

I think his goal wasn't to play with women, but to have people notice him for who he is.

[hazy ocean]

He just wanted to look cool yes.

[compact peak]

He wanted people to see "Michael" outside of categories he had been forced to define, like religion, bakery and hair colour.
But he did so in contradictory ways: he used money to attract female attention, donned fake blonde hair and adopted an embarrassing name.

[pastel oasis]

Hey cmon now, don’t lump the name change with the other stuff

And it wasn’t just blonde, you should know

[compact peak]

Sorry, I thought they were the same in that you use something that's not you to get people to see you as a person.
Did I offend you? Sorry.

[pastel oasis]

No

I’m talking about becoming The Maverick

The paying women thing was a silly misstep in the character arc called life

[violet river]

which is awful?

[hazy ocean]

The whole point of Mikheal/Maverick is that he doesnt want to be forgettable or like everyone. He is a teenager in search of his own identity, in a family were everyone acts exactly the same.

[violet river]

he is using women as objects for his own aggrandisement, like, his shtick is not even the funny Chuunibyou thing, he is just being cringe and a shitty person

[violet river]

But that is irrelavant to my point

he is doing it in a way that's just not fun to me and he is being a abd person

Okabe is a fun Chuunibyou

[hazy ocean]

Also we shoudl stop saying "paying women" it implies he is doing something much worse than what he did.

[violet river]

it is what he did

[inland laurel]

thats just ridiculous of him. theres not really any harm done its just an exaggerated portrayal of a loser for comedy purposes tbh

[hazy ocean]

He did. But there is "paying women" AND "paying women"

[compact peak]

I can understand that this method makes people uncomfortable.
It's like a rental girlfriend. It's not prostitution.

[violet river]

idc about harm done, I will defend Sunny and Basil more than him

[hazy ocean]

He payed girls his own age to just hang around with him, and they were never forced, and leave him the moment the wanted to. Like yeah, thats really uncool, but a lot of people acts like he actually were forcing them.

[inland laurel]

i mean hey, you can dislike bro all you want im just pointing out my opinion teehee

[violet river]

His actions are not funny and just degrading and cringe, you can write me paragpraphs about how much he wants to be different and I will show you Okabe Rintaro, the pinicple of the Chuunibyou shitck

Mikhael is just not writtern to be enjoyable to me

he is the worst

[inland laurel]

in my perspective it wasnt that deep, as a woman, and the girls got bank out of it

[violet river]

I never said everyone should hate him

[inland laurel]

it felt like your average disney joke more than anything😭😭

[inland laurel]

yeah, i didnt say you did either n thats fine

[violet river]

If I thought it was deeper, I would have said Omocat made a reprehensible character. I am just saying the joke didn't land for me and he was just cringe as shit. I didi 100% feel like Kel the entire battle, which is enough to validate my opinion here

[hazy ocean]

You can dislike him if you want. I just think a big part of the fandom add a lot of creepy implications to that one scene that juste arent there.

[violet aurora]

What's the topic now is it still Mikhael hating

[violet river]

the creepy implication is that he is a fucking idiot that hopefully grows out of that idiocy before the creepy implications become real

[violet river]

but he is a character with a joke that just doesn't land for me

[violet aurora]

I hate this meme because Mikhael is here and does not get beat up

[compact peak]

I feel this opinion is similar to the opinion of many people who say that Basil is the worst character for faking Mari's suicide.

[violet river]

Again, Okabe Rintaro does the entire "I just want to be different, let me be crazy and out of pocket" thing better

[violet river]

difference is that Basil was 12 year old in a stressful situation and clearly has some mental issues (fear of abandonment at minimum and bpd at maximum)

Mikhael is a 16-year-old who is just like annoying and shitty.

[tropic hawk]

the maverick slander will not be tolerated

[violet river]

He is not a bad person, he is not an enjoyable person

[violet river]

he slanders himself just fine

[tropic hawk]

true

[inland laurel]

im just confused on why bro is not in the manga 💀

[pastel oasis]

I think he appeared in chapter 3

[tropic hawk]

he is but only as a cameo

[inland laurel]

OH YEA??

[violet river]

real reason: The pacing sucks
fake reason: Nui is based and realised his erasure is a good idea

[inland laurel]

musta missed bro

[violet river]

he is like in one image or something, no battle

[compact peak]

That's why his with Hooligans

[inland laurel]

OH WELL

at least the way kel got.kim to tell him where aubrey is was cool

[violet river]

I literally like all the rest of the hooligans, well, I am mixed on Kim, she seems to be a bit of a bitch for no reason but at least she is good with those close to her

[inland laurel]

shes a great friend just sort of a dummy

u can tell how close she is with aubrey

[violet river]

iirc when you explore her house and do some of the quests there, she seems less and less justified in how mean she is to certian people, but yeah, she is close to Aubrey to the rest of her friends

which makes her justifiable

[inland laurel]

and in the manga shes given more depth in a way

like shes still good just troubled

we just dont know enough of the hooligans

[violet river]

I guess another person with some benefit from the manga

[inland laurel]

yayyy😭😭

[compact peak]

Having room for imagination can be fun, but it can also create confusion.

[inland laurel]

all i could see is that the mother MIGHT be strict but she seemed fine to me?? or maybe i didnt explore enough

[tropic hawk]

what if I just don't like her haircut...

[violet aurora]

For a girl Kim's haircut is diabolical

[pastel oasis]

Cmon I thought her hair was one of her redeeming qualities

[compact peak]

Is that so?

[violet aurora]

Though as a guy with dyed hair I'll have a bias and say that makes it good

[compact peak]

Her hairstyle is cool

[violet aurora]

Honestly actually now that I think about it yeah

[violet river]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0N7uQpR7780

This animation made me realise what it was trying to be

and it is fine

fits her character

[inland laurel]

i like her haircut teehee

fits her

[pastel oasis]

Glad that we made peace in the end

[pastel oasis]

So benefits of adapting a work ammiright?

I love discussing this

[violet river]

It is good that the manga has been doing some things different

just

Nui, take your god damn time

and stop butchering Aubs

[serene juniper]

maybe I'm just a hater but I really thought the kel and hero bit was done worse than the game did it

[inland laurel]

woaaaa fr?

i personally liked it 😭

tho it felt a little too edgy what hero did n said to kel

[serene juniper]

yeah that's my main gripe with it

swung way too far in the angsty direction

hold on lemme give my prime example

[inland laurel]

ANNNDdd its good to see kel showing his emotions a little ?he wasnt purposefully showing them which is still in character, but hero noticed and hugged him

i like it mostly cus u can see how much kel looks up to hero n stuff

[serene juniper]

this page just doesn't
make sense to me all that much

[inland laurel]

aw that was one of my favorites

[serene juniper]

why is he about to scrap with hero

[hazy ocean]

He is just sad

[violet river]

that's my problem, I feel like the game leaving it open was better. But I think people need to realise something about the game, it needs to be different with changes that ADD something, regardless if they are better or worse subjectively

that addition did just that

which is good

[inland laurel]

for me the part i disliked was this

it feels overdone

[violet river]

Kel wants Hero to treat him like that

The manga makes it appear that Hero cares more about Sunny than Kel

which could be intresting

[serene juniper]

they making depression hype moments and aura

[violet river]

certianly not what is in the game

[inland laurel]

i sorta agree leaving it open is fine, but honestly i dont mind them showing it

since for whatever reason people seemed to think kel was no longer affected by it?

media illiteracy is dead and allat

[violet river]

I felt like it should have been more about Hero ignoring Kel's relation with Mari

after Kel says "Mari wouldn't want this"

Hero should have exploded about how dare he speak for her and how he never even knew her

[inland laurel]

yeah which is a parallel to aubrey's fight, since what gets her is the same quote

[violet river]

and how he jsut ignored her being gone

[violet river]

AND THAT'S GREAT WRITING

It adds a lot to Kel as it reveals his coping mecahnism

he decided to be happy because he decided that's what Mari would want

[inland laurel]

yeahhh, just calling him a "clueless idiot" without directly calling him one

[violet river]

and him acting this way annoys the rest who hate him speaking form the dead

it both makes Kel understandable and deeper in his mental struggle and explains why the other get angry at him in deep convos

[compact peak]

If I were to find myself in the same situation as him, whose girlfriend committed suicide, I might end up like this. I have never been in such a situation, so I can only imagine.
His mind was so devastated that he hurled such terrible words and anger at his brother.

[inland laurel]

my other issue is that hero is talking like a villain there 😭😭no pun intended teehee. what depressed teenager goes "go ahead and smile.. LIKE THE CLUELESS IDIOT YOU ARE!!!" it feels SOOO overdone 💀

[violet river]

I didn't see it as a smile but just as angry shouting face

[inland laurel]

thats what he said

[serene juniper]

all of this added dramatic angst is funny because it all just piles onto Sunny's guilt if you think about it

[violet river]

regardless, it should have been implied that Hero thinks of him as a clueless idiot instead of saying it

[inland laurel]

im quoting what he said lol

[violet river]

oh

[inland laurel]

YEAH EXACTLY

[serene juniper]

at this rate the bad ending is just the most logical conclusion

[violet river]

I thought you were saying something else

[inland laurel]

well sunny was consideing telling something to kel after he talked about what happened

who knows if it wouldve been the truth, or words of comfort

thats another thing i liked tho. the idea that sunny did at least try to do something for kel

I ALSO RLY LIKED THIS PART

in the game it felt like hero kinda just put kel to the side which is SORT of understandable

sunny is out for the first time, almost drowned with basil, aubrey is crashing out

but kel was so excited for him to be back and sunny is "getting all the attention" yk

i hate tje manga trust me

BUT at the very least we can see this be aknowledged there

[brittle lintel]

AAAAH I LOVE THIS PAGE

[violet river]

the manga has good moments, which makes it all the worse that Nui rushes it and makes some very bad decisions

double the chapters, and give Nui more calm direction, and it might be tolerable

[inland laurel]

WELP, i can just say i will not consider the manga canon except for the parts i personally like 🔥

the other stuff? GONE

IT DOES NOT EXIST

[violet river]

the art is also fuckin good here

they do not look 12

just drawn in the cutsey style

[brittle lintel]

The art is phenomenal across the entire manga

[violet river]

[inland laurel]

i dont like theartstyle😭 but i will give it ONE THING AND ONLY 1☝️

[violet river]

Nui draws fine, the artstyle was just way too heavy in the beginning

[compact peak]

Although the manga is not canon, omocat is also supervising it.

[inland laurel]

the horror panels are AWESOME

[violet river]

you cna have 2 canons

[bold iris]

i like how every chapter the artstyle evolves, i despised it at first but now it’s getting a lot better

[violet river]

we have manga and game canon

what one does with that is one's own choice

[brittle lintel]

Maybe I have recency bias cause the last few chapters have been great

[sand compass]

Im glad the art is attempting to take a better direction

[compact peak]

Game fundamentalists don't think so.

[violet river]

wdym they do nto think so, the manga is its own canon world, it is by definition as it is a written piece of media

they just do not care for it and prefer the game canon

me too, it is obvious they are different, and I prefer the game canon, there are some things I like

also, Omocat can do whatever she wants

it doesn't actually make it canon

[compact peak]

Is that so?
I was wondering if they even wanted to acknowledge the fast pacing as manga canon.

[inland laurel]

in my case ive Only liked one chapter

[violet river]

game as a sole piece of media is disconnected from its author

[inland laurel]

besides the last chapter, the other ones just have little bits that i like

[brittle lintel]

The last 2 I thought were really good

[inland laurel]

WELL yeah i guess the last one wasnt that bad

i just REALLY hated some.panels

im just guessin those were influenced by nui's background anyways 💀

[violet river]

I think they just do not care about the manga canon at all to acknowledge it

[sand compass]

Do we know how many chapters will be made in total?

[violet river]

which is fine, everyone can choose what they care about

they should just not be here when we are talking about the manga canon

[inland laurel]

[brittle lintel]

True I thought some weren’t great

[serene juniper]

it's crazy that she only made a small romance manga before doing omori

ok man

[compact peak]

I suppose criticism is part of the feedback, but I really feel like it's gone too far.

[brittle lintel]

LOLLLLLL

[violet river]

like, obviously I am gonna compare the two, but of course, in the manga canon, Hero did say Kel is a clueless idiot, while in the game, that's not canon. Both can be argued separately

[brittle lintel]

This page is fully cause like. Why are you keeping your SHOES on

[violet river]

problem is that an adaptation naturally gets compared to the original, which makes it not stand on its own legs. SO the manga has to compete with one of the most beloved stories in gaming

[serene juniper]

both canons are ass imo

[pastel oasis]

Because it’s sunny

[violet river]

of course it is gonna et shredded

[violet river]

https://tenor.com/view/basil-omori-muted-speech-bubble-yelling-gif-26029635

[violet river]

he is trying to save his firend from drowning

[inland laurel]

why is he being so delicate and petit i hate him

[violet river]

doubt he thought that far ahead

[serene juniper]

you know exactly why

[inland laurel]

i know exactly why💔

[violet river]

starvation

[brittle lintel]

They are SLIP ON SHOES you can take them off in 0.01 seconds

[violet river]

irrelavant

he isn't thinking

[compact peak]

A clueless idiot? Did hero say that?

[inland laurel]

thats not what i meant because i do not say this about omocat artstyle's sunny 😭🥀

[pastel oasis]

I am curious, would the manga perhaps be preferred if it was drawn somewhat like this?
Random thought that came to my head

[violet river]

some of you have never been in a stressful situation

[pastel oasis]

Kinda unrelated but I’ve been thinking it for awhile

[violet river]

yeah, I was memeing

[nimble moss]

Taking off shoes in a hurry to save someone from drowning isn't the first thing one would do, no matter what fucking kind they are fifhshsh

[violet river]

in the translation, yes, I guess that's also important to remember, we all in the West are suffering from translation issues

[brittle lintel]

Yeah he does not shower his ass is not a nose pincher when jumping in body of water

[compact peak]

I like this art style. It feels American to me.

[scenic plover]

Reminds me of a cartoon i forgot what tho

[serene juniper]

it would be preferred if the mangaka's friends didn't thirst for basil but maybe that's just me

[violet river]

@compact peak what does this pannel say in the original Japanese?

[inland laurel]

theres another panel in that chapter i absolutely despide with my entire being

but i dont wanna send it💀

[brittle lintel]

Ok fair point

[serene juniper]

I know what you mean

[compact peak]

HERO's lines on this page are as follows in the Japanese version:
"Just keep smiling like you always do"
"Just act like an ignorant child!"

[scenic plover]

Also this one website that ive been waiting for so long to release the chapter still hasnt released it omg

[inland laurel]

its really!! its truly really truly something!!!!!

[serene juniper]

I'm glad omocat can learn so much from her expertise

[inland laurel]

HUH well in japanese it aint that bad

[pastel oasis]

Ok that’s not AS bad

[compact peak]

Original text:「いつもみたいにヘラヘラヘラヘラ笑ってればいいんだ」「無知な子どもらしくよ!!!」

[scenic plover]

Damn it isnt that bad

[pastel oasis]

Also another thing to note but Basil looking more nervous is a Neato touch since this happens after Sunny touches grass and sees the current state
The most important one is first one showing slight traits of what real Basil is like

I think

[serene juniper]

I'd be pissed if someone called me an ignorant child

[brittle lintel]

Please send or even just DM or something

[nimble moss]

Oh! Wait! The manga technically turns a year old next month.

Felt more like four months ago, quite honestly. My perspective of time feels like way less sometimes.

[scenic plover]

Damn thats crazy

[scenic plover]

Agreed

[nimble moss]

That was one dangerous typo there. I almost read that as something else, apologies.

[scenic plover]

OH...

[compact peak]

I think that the difference in nuance of the translation can lead to different interpretations (expressions are difficult as a language).

But the fact remains that in this scene in HERO, the protagonist said terrible things to his brother in emotional anger. However, I must point out that the word "idiot" is not used at all.

[scenic plover]

Damn

[violet river]

damn, yeah

i guess translation does make it harder for us

because "just act like an ignorant child"

has very different implications

than "you are a clueless idiot"

[serene juniper]

they doing translation debates in omori now we're cooked

[arctic junco]

YOOOOOOOOO
Hero, my beloved

[scenic plover]

I havent read chapter 10 yet how would i react once i read it gang

[inland laurel]

fineeeeeeeeee

its just so BAD

[brittle lintel]

EWWWWWWW

[inland laurel]

I KNOW😭😭😭😭

[nimble moss]

... It's just Sunny drowning.

[brittle lintel]

Second panel is DESPICABLE

[scenic plover]

What the fuck is happening in chapter 10.

[inland laurel]

thsts chapter 9

[scenic plover]

OH.

Fuckn dude i dont remmebr that svene

[pastel oasis]

OH LORD

[inland laurel]

sorry but you cannot tell me that with the manga artist's background ESPECIALLY this panel is not weird

considering the other thousand of weird panels we've gotten

[scenic plover]

Indeed..

[inland laurel]

theyre so buns

[brittle lintel]

I’m upset now

[scenic plover]

I havent read chapter 10 yet will i be cooked once i do or no

[serene juniper]

it depends on how obsessed you are with kel

[scenic plover]

Hes

Alright

[inland laurel]

I LOVE KEL

[compact peak]

Is this page also controversial?

[inland laurel]

[scenic plover]

NOT IN A BAD WAY I SWWAR

[serene juniper]

I thought you were talking chapter 10 still

[tropic hawk]

no

[scenic plover]

Hes cool his lore is crazy once i dig in

[tropic hawk]

this would be the first time I'm hearing complaints about that specific page

[scenic plover]

Unless you're telling me that there will be massive lore drop of kel in chapter 10.

[nimble moss]

...Need a link? I'm famous for handing those out here.

Well, in DMs.

[serene juniper]

it's not new lore

[inland laurel]

[scenic plover]

I dont mind if you arent busy sure

[arctic junco]

Same
Like, it's doing what the game already did, what.

[inland laurel]

what page?

[compact peak]

If there is bias, the conclusion will be decided from the beginning and the discussion will proceed without considering what the actual process was. I have seen this many times.

[inland laurel]

the one i sent?

[arctic junco]

You could even say
Many such cases

[serene juniper]

Wait a minute I hate OMORI

[nimble moss]

Then leave or something lmao.

[inland laurel]

please never cover anyones ears ever again🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[inland laurel]

LMAO

[compact peak]

Because I haven't developed the ability to discern jokes, I can't even tell if something is a joke or not.

[brittle lintel]

Sunny looks 3 here

[inland laurel]

its ok it gets better

he looks 4 now

[scenic plover]

Oh shit!

[brittle lintel]

LOL

[scenic plover]

Nah dude he looks 3.5 now

[inland laurel]

oh mb got ahead of myself

wanted to give my dude some credit 🙏

[serene juniper]

what's the problem? people treat sunny like a 5 year old anyways

[violet river]

she legit looks 3 years older than him

or maybe more

[inland laurel]

huh

[violet river]

do nto pay too much attention to Yoko

[arctic junco]

LMAO

[inland laurel]

i mean sure he's declared the baby of the group and all but he doesnt need to be drawn like one

[nimble moss]

Omori-Manga residents have like one or two jokes.

[inland laurel]

what r the jokes

i like jokes 🔥🔥

[violet river]

so does #humphrey-🐳

[serene juniper]

I'm a professional rage baiter

[compact peak]

Is that true?

[serene juniper]

I only lock in when someone needs mod help

[inland laurel]

8/10 ragebait

[serene juniper]

Right I could do better

[inland laurel]

only way is UP🔥🔥

[compact peak]

Rage baiter! I learned another new word...

[violet river]

you have already done better

[serene juniper]

the photo of mari falling down the stairs is funnier than any joke any manga fan could tell

[inland laurel]

i thought omori fans in general had 2 jokes anyways

[serene juniper]

shit I just realized they're 100% showing the truth argument

[pastel oasis]

Context?

[serene juniper]

nobody knows he literally just did this at random

he let the impulsive thoughts take over

[nimble moss]

Ignoring Yoko, he has done this, in his own way, to cover Aubrey's ears from the Churchgoers insulting her and harming her feelings.

If I recall correctly.

[serene juniper]

well yeah that's the assumption

it's not really elaborated on though

it just happens lmao

[inland laurel]

bro wanted to like. cover girls ears from the crowd n stuff

[sand compass]

If that was the intention, it still looks silly to me

[pastel oasis]

If that is what Sunny’s impulsive side would do to women, then I’m terrified of what he will do to Basil

He’s suffered enough

[inland laurel]

no hes not even covering her ears properly LMAO

[serene juniper]

nui co-sign on this post

[inland laurel]

so delicate so cutesy

[serene juniper]

and they called hero and basil the effeminate ones

[compact peak]

I've seen discussions about age (how old they look), but it seems like there's more importance placed on how they look in pictures. Maybe in the West.
If there is a set age, is it just a cultural difference to take it that way?

[violet river]

I never got Hero being effemiante, he looks like a fucking tank, he just has a more non-dominant vibe

[inland laurel]

cultural difference?

[violet river]

Dran is Japanese

and doesn't quite get some of the complaints

[compact peak]

yes...

[violet river]

In the West in general there has been more focus on realism

[inland laurel]

bro serving face after saving his friend who almost drowned

[violet river]

or when no realism, absurdist overexaggeration

there is a reason they try to make ever cartoon live action

and a reason why there are so many stupid arguments about anime on the internet

[serene juniper]

the problem is the adult characters in the game and the child characters in the game look similar in the manga
but lowkey when you think about it the overworld sprites in the base game did not do this any favors either they're all the same size

[pastel oasis]

Also I think some of the expressions have what are referred to as “bedroom eyes” as some have dubbed them and idk they just look kinda weird and goofy to me

[brittle lintel]

Why is he serving outfit I wear constantly

[serene juniper]

so! I propose a compromise

[inland laurel]

ok imma be so fr i dont get the fancy terms yall usin all i know is im the manga's biggest hater 🔥🔥

[serene juniper]

everyone in the manga will now look like this

[compact peak]

There’s a lot to learn…

[pastel oasis]

But what if they still keep the bedroom eyes?

[inland laurel]

maybe its just me but could tell when they were older and stuff

its not like a HUGE difference

at the end of the day they do suffer from same face syndrome a little bit

but the manga just makes it so much worse 😭especially with HOW theyre drawn too

[serene juniper]

this isn't too dissimilar from base game though

[inland laurel]

not only their designs, but the poses, expressions, etc etc

[compact peak]

So maybe the East has more deformation than realism, especially in anime and manga.
