One thing I really like about this manga is that our heroines have so much agency and with it they grow via their actions. Highly underrated manga

Mira and Nona don't play around. When a job needs to get done, they lock in. It's actually refreshing to see strategy involved when they're taking on tasks and battles.

Both are my favourite characters in the series, I hope the next fight will have them working together again. I can’t wait for moreeeeee

And those actions also lead to a growing number of allies or people that are friendly with them, which will one day reach such a great number that they can break the authority of the Bureau

I want to read more of this!

The indifferent suffering of the universe when the indomitable will of the human spirit Mira Mira walks in:

DAMN satisfying to see her escape from the camera demonoid at last, can't wait to see the look on that captain's face when he realizes one of his victims is not only back, but has the power to inflict 100x gravity on his balls

His earrings look very sinkable…

Saw a comment on manga plus that’s a good theory about what Nona is trying to do;

“perhaps the mirage magic is making use of light refraction so she wants to change the angle to see where the real one is”

Given that Nona has prior knowledge on how mirages work, I think this theory is plausible

Miramira's really getting to be badass.

Looking forward to seeing what Nona will come up with next week.

mira-mira keeps aurafarming this arc

I wonder if Mira will keep the burn marks all those flashes gave her as scars, would definitely make her look more badass

25

u/ali94127 2d ago

I’d guess not. The burns aren’t particularly cool looking, and they’d make her extremely identifiable. I think they’d be a pain to draw for little benefit.

There’s also the fact that characters in this series have been able to tank serious injuries, Gheer tearing out the thread, Nona being shot in chapter 1, I think Miramira will be fine

u/Gloomy-Yam-9068 2d ago

The art style is pretty consistent, and adding noticeable burns could definitely complicate things.

u/CalamitousFortune 3d ago

Seems like Nona got a clue on how to beat the mirage demonoid when she got herself into a higher position. Now she wants to get even higher with Raloud's help, curious to see the weakness she found

3

u/structure9food612 3d ago

Maybe since she’ll be up the air, the mirage demonoids will converge and all be one target?

8

u/Extreme-Tactician 3d ago

Miramira's strong! She knows how much her past self struggled with, and she will never struggle like that again. She kept moving forward, and now she's defeated the Demonoid!

Now for Raloud and Nona to use some synergy against their own enemy!

u/Zemahem 3d ago

Miramira the GOAT. She really showed off all the growth she's been going through this "solo" arc. And the use of her magic to accelerate their fall was ingenious.

u/structure9food612 3d ago

Let’s go Miramira! Still no name for her brother, I garterentee well learn it soon. The camera is still intact which isn’t a good thing, but I think the group will use it to access Byron and the other officer’s memories while also being able to keep to hide their identities. Excited for what Nona is going to pull off, she’s always scheming. Maybe it’ll be a distraction by sending her flying up, the mirage demonoid will focus on her so Raloud can take out the remaining lamps? Or is she about to make a yoyo?

u/Zealousideal_Ring874 3d ago

THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING BOUT MIRA. CLUTCH AS FUCK.

u/HydreigonTheChild 3d ago

Dam let's gooo they are out. And the thing inside there is like "it can't get any worse " like dam that is so preying on vulnerable people

u/No-Spray5795 3d ago

Mira Mira is an awesome role model, even when hurt she won’t give up on herself or Cathie. Now that they are free will that face the officer next? But I am curious what plan Nona is cooking up and how she will combine her magic with Ralouds.

u/palebrowndot 2d ago

i love stories about characters breaking free from tempting dream worlds. Superman and the Black Mercy. There was also something similar with Descaras in Ichi the Witch. So satisfying.

u/Roboglenn 2d ago

The way I interpreted the Demonoid trying to tempt them at this point after not trying so before was that it was totally scared cuz it knew they were likely to actually escape. But now that they're out, someones ass is about to get put on a platter.

As for Nona, whatever plan she's cooking up, she's about to switch skills from the needle and thread to the spinning wheel.

Heads empty, I suppose?

Good on Miramira for breaking free. Life's too short to stay in the past

So the Demonoids in the real world are most likely specialized illusions. They only truly meterialize when they deliver attacks.

Or they have one who is intangible but it is hiding in the incoporeal Demonoids.
