Let's continue our journey through the simultaneously whimsical and horrific world of the Mushroom fairies.Last thread >>291920771
Beniten is growing up so fast. She's becoming so cool.
Maybe she isn't that grown up yet.
Hanging around?
Interesting line.
Lore time.
Killer aim.
They're mini death machines.
Children are wonderful creatures.
Back to our other squad.
HIM
>>291961021OPT moment
Aren't our girls just adorable?
>>291961249It is a great page.
It is time.Prepare yourself.
>>291961314Still as horrific as the first time I saw this
>>291961383It can't be a race war unless both sides are criminals.
Anyone have an encyclopedia of all the mushrooms that have appeared so far
>>291961415Yeah but one side is going "Rwanda" these guys are going "Resident Evil"Also Shaguma has an absolutely top tier design holy shit
Goons have a hard life.
What a guy.
I think this is the first non-fairy fungi critter.Dunno what this says lore-wise.
Doku Doku Mori Mori is now officially a battle shonen.
Now for a palate cleanser.
Kaen has a rough go of it in every life.
Volume 5, end.I hope it was a good read for everyone.We've certainly come a long way from where we started, but there is a bit more ahead of us.What is the worst thing you have ever done to an enemy?
>>291961002>>291961021Can't believe the kid kancho'd the guy. Awesome spread.>>291961092Will Tsuki's suffering ever end...?>>291961470I like these guys.>>291962080Another great volume, thanks anon!
>>291962228Tsuki should suffer more.
>>291960207Flychads, we're still fucking here.
>>291961056Very pragmatic of her.
>>291961294Oh so it wasn't an exaggeration.
>>291960265God, she's so cute.
>What is the worst thing you have ever done to an enemy?I don't have enemies, I live in a peaceful society.
>>291961607Reminds me of that video game from a long time ago where you play as a fungus man in the post-apocalypse. Very similar to the fairy really, but less cute and probably never human.
>>291961851...I don't believe you.
>>291960307what a bada-->>291960376 oop, not yet.
>>291960653Thats pretty sexy.
>>291960676Man, I love this idea for torture.
Time for some mushroom facts!>Tamagotake ("Egg Mushroom")/Amanita caesareoides is an edible mushroom from east Asia; however, it's closely related to toxic mushrooms and looks similar, so one must be careful when picking them.>Tsukiyotake ("Moonlight Mushroom")/Omphalotus japonicus is a toxic east Asian mushroom, which causes severe vomiting when eaten; in a reverse of the Tamagotake, it is easily mistaken for related edible mushrooms. Tsukiyotake only grows on dead beech trees; as beech tree populations decline in Japan, the Japanese population is vulnerable.>Kitsunetake ("Fox Mushroom")/Deceiver (Laccaria laccata) is an edible mushroom with a highly variable appearance.>Benitengutake ("Red Tengu Mushroom")/Fly Agaric (Amanita muscaria) is a mildly poisonous mushroom originating in Russia and later spreading across the globe, known for its usage as both a natural pesticide and a hallucinogen.>Dokusasako ("Poison Bamboo Leaf Child")/Paralepistopsis acromelalga is a dangerously toxic mushroom from east Asia and Mexico (oddly enough) and can cause paralysis and seizures when eaten. It was once thought to be part of the Clitocybe genus.>Maitake ("Dancing Mushroom")/Hen of the Woods (Grifola frondosa) is a large (20 - 60 inches/up to 5 feet) edible mushroom native to China, Europe, and North America that grows at the base of trees.>Hokoritake ("Dust Mushroom")/Common Puffball (Lycoperdon perlatum) is an edible mushroom known for erupting into spores when touched.>Tsunoshimeji ("Horned Wet Ground")/Decorated Pholiota (Leucopholiota decorosa) is an apparently inedible mushroom known for being covered in "horns" all over its body.>Kaentake ("Fire Mushroom")/Poison Fire Coral (Trichoderma cornu-damae) is an extremely toxic east Asian mushroom; touching it can damage skin and ingesting it can cause an agonizing death from organ failure.
>>291960798>>291960820>>291960839I didn't expect our cute pilot to be a real shooter like this.
>>291961021Thats solid.
>>291961056From the mouths of babes.
>>291961175The man, the myth, the legend.
>>291963511when is Beniten's far more deathly poisonous cousin going to ENTER?
>>291963511>Kugitake ("Nail Mushroom")/Brown Slimecap (Chroogomphus rutilus) is an edible mushroom from Finland, Greece, Russia, and South Korea, while Noutake ("Brain Mushroom")/Brain Puffball (Calvatia craniiformis) is a puffball found in Asia, Australia, and North America.>Tricholoma bakamatsutake ("Fool's Pine Mushroom") is an edible east Asian mushroom, while Nisematsutake ("Fake Pine Mushroom")/Tricholoma fulvocastaneum is also edible, but tastes bad.>Tricholoma matsutake ("Pine Mushroom") is a popular edible mushroom; Matsutakemodoki ("Pseudo-Pine Mushroom")/Tricholoma robustum is a related edible mushroom found across the northern hemisphere - while often ignored in Japan in favor of the matsutake, it's a delicacy in Ukraine.>Hanaiguchi ("Flower Bolete")/Tamarack Jack is an edible mushroom from North America, Europe, and Taiwan that grows under larch trees.>Hitoyotake ("One Night Mushroom")/Alcohol Inky Cap (Coprinopsis atramentaria) is a mushroom known for its rapid life cycle and for being poisonous when mixed with alcohol.>Mannentake ("Eternity Mushroom")/Lingzhi is an east Asian mushroom used in medicinal tea.>Routake ("Wax Mushroom")/Sebacina incrustans is a mushroom known for its strange, coral-like appearance and rubbery texture.>Kurorappatake ("Black Trumpet Mushroom")/Horn of Plenty (Craterellus cornucopioides) is an edible mushroom known for its unique appearance, resembling a black cornucopia or trumpet.>Gomutake ("Gum Mushroom")/Poor Man's Licorice (Bulgaria inquinans) grows on dead trees and is usually inedible, but gomutake treated in sodium carbonate is considered a Chinese delicacy, Oogomutake ("Large Gum Mushroom")/Trichaleurina tenuispora is an edible tropical Asian mushroom that grows on logs and stumps, and Karasutake ("Crow Mushroom")/Blue Chanterelle (Polyozellus multiplex) is an edible mushroom used to treat stomach cancer.
>>291960207world's strongest fly
>>291964073>Anzutake ("Apricot Mushroom")/Cantharellus applanatus is an edible mushroom known for its bright yellow color and Sorairotake ("Sky Blue Mushroom")/Entoloma virescens is an inedible mushroom known for its bright blue color.>Kabanoanatake ("Birch Hole Mushroom")/Chaga (Inonotus obliquus) is a mushroom that grows on birch known for its (alleged) medicinal properties.>Oonoutake ("Big Brain Mushroom")/Calvatia boninensis is a relative of the brain puffball discovered in Japan's Bonin Islands.>Waraitake ("Laughing Mushroom")/Belted Panaeolus (Panaeolus cinctulus) is the infamous hallucinogenic "magic mushroom.">Dokutsurutake ("Poison Crane Mushroom")/Destroying Angel (Amanita virosa) is an extremely poisonous mushroom and can easily kill a person if ingested.>Shaguma-amigasatake ("Red Bear Woven Hat Mushroom")/Gyromitra esculenta is a theoretically edible mushroom, but it can be fatal if prepared improperly.>Kinoboriiguchi ("Tree-Climbing Bolete")/Suillus spectabilis is an edible mushroom and that grows on and near trees.>Goyouiguchi ("Five-Leaf Bolete")/Suillus placidus is an edible (though not tasty) mushroom, while Oniiguchi ("Demon Pig's Mouth")/Old Man of the Woods (Strobilomyces strobilaceus) is an edible mushroom known for its "woolly" texture.>Kurohanabiratake ("Black Petal Mushroom")/Ionomidotis frondosa is a poisonous mushroom that causes stomach pain, nausea, and diarrhea when eaten, while Ooshiro-karakasatake ("Big White Parasol Mushroom")/Green-Spored Parasol (Chlorophyllum molybdites) has the dubious honor of being the most-eaten poisonous mushroom in North America and is often found in circular cluster formations called "fairy rings."And that's all for now!
>>291963511>>291964073>>291964431Good shit
>>291961988>>291962001Holy fuck, I just realized that's not his ghost talking. He was buried alive.
While Anzutake aren't necessarily toxic, they can cause allergic reactions and gastrointenstinal distress for some people.
>>291964038Death Cap-sama is too busy poisoning idiot human foragers to waste time with mushroom fairy politics.
>>291960493Verbally constipated is a good one, haven't heard that before

>>291961447>Shaguma has an absolutely top tier design holy shitIt is perfect.
>>291961752Can a manga truly be a manga without a page like this?
>>291961851>>291962043Thanks, this manga was getting way too happy. We needed to bring it back to sheer abyssal suffering.
>>291964073>>Routake ("Wax Mushroom")/Sebacina incrustans is a mushroom known for its strange, coral-like appearance and rubbery texture.My cute rubbery wife.
>>291961002Deserved>>291961021Noice I like the blind swordsman thing he's got going on
>>291961175ominous ENTER
>>291961236>Which one's Kaentake!?This cracked me up.
>>291961314Creepy as hell
>>291961350>>291961368I'm horrified but also fascinated by this. What a strange power.
>>291967261She certainly lives up to the common name of her mushroom with all of that murder.
>>291967261Destroying Angel mushrooms literally destroy your DNA. Here it is depicted as turning you into nutrient soup.
>>291961470>sudden mushroom cleavage I've been so used to flat that I have whiplash.
>>291961774>LOVE HATE tattoosI understood that reference.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X20XIg38GcE
>>291962080Thanks again for posting.
The edible mushrooms are such incredible jobbers that it's amazing that they have managed to kill any poison mushrooms at all, let alone oppress them.
>>291964038>>291965525>death cap mushroom is literally named after a penisHumans should never have evolved a frontal lobe.
>>291967710Edibles have the advantage of living in large numbers inside safe established villages while inedibles and poisonous ones have to endure getting kicked out of villages as children or rounded up and killed outright. It's too easy to gang up and kill a kid like what almost happened to Beniten and Anzu, and even when the inedible or poisonous mushroom survives that, he has to forever watch his back and live on the run from hunters until he gets gud enough to slaugher edibles by the dozen.
>>291961774saved
>>291967363>literally destroy your DNA.Oh man I gotta look these things up. Man if I wasn't on a bunch of lists I sure as fuck am now
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_deadly_mushroom_speciesI wonder if the mangaka will keep it purely to Japanese/East Asian mushrooms or will they bullshit a reason for foreign shrooms to show up
>In 1999, one of a group of five people from Niigata Prefecture died two days after consuming one or two grams of fruit body that had been soaked in sake. In 2000, an individual from Gunma Prefecture died after eating the fried mushroom. Symptoms associated with consumption in these cases include gastroenteritis, hemophagocytosis, leukocytopenia, thrombocytopenia, peeling skin on the face and hands, scalp hair loss, and damage to the cerebellum resulting in speech impediment and problems with voluntary movement.[13] In another instance, an autopsy revealed acute kidney and liver damage with associated disseminated intravascular coagulation.[14] In one case of poisoning, the patient suffered from hemophagocytosis, in addition to severe leukocytopenia and thrombocytopenia, seven days after ingesting the fungus>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trichoderma_cornu-damaeJesus Fucking Christ Kaen
>>291968446>hemophagocytosis, leukocytopenia, thrombocytopenia,Does it fucking eat your blood or something?
>>291968446>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trichoderma_cornu-damae>Jesus Fucking Christ KaenNo one will call him weak in this new life.
>>291968797That is the most optimistic part of the whole manga. That a kid could be murdered and his dying wish to be strong enough to punish bad guys is rewarded in his next life.
>>291969394>>291968797>if only i had enough power to KILL EVERYONE>"sure, but also you're a mushroom now">deal
>>291962019Such a good spread, really dreadfull
>>291960526lewd hair grab>>291960653lewd
>>291964431>>Waraitake ("Laughing Mushroom")/Belted Panaeolus (Panaeolus cinctulus) is the infamous hallucinogenic "magic mushroom."I was wondering about this, but didn't expect one to actually be a magic mushroom, lol. Surprised that doesn't trigger some drug law problem.
>>291962080Thank you for posting, OP!
>>291961774Japanese always do such interesting things with black characters.
>>291968133kek accurate
Thanks op
>>291971958She feels like a Black Lagoon refugee or something, lol.
yay
>>291970833The main character is also a hallucinogenic mushroom.
Funny antagonist concept: Cordyceps (edible), attacks the party SPECIFICALLY to parasitize Fly, doesn't give a shit about any of the other mushrooms, barely even exists in the same paradigm.
>>291974000That would be pure kino. It would drive Beniten to actually want to murder someone again.
>>291962080A SCIENCE SARU adaptation of the next Arc would be pure KINO!
>>291974372You've been saying this in every thread, are you trying to manifest it? It doesn't work like that.
>>291974388Next chapter, you will see the next Arc. You will understand
>>291973789I get that. Its just that there's a line in my mind between, "toxic mushroom that can make you hallucinate", and "literally the most popular psychedelic drug in a country with super paranoid laws about that". >>291960128 Especially when the real magic mushrooms appear on the cover.
>>291963511>>291964073>>291964431Is there a specific methodology at play here that we can extrapolate? Are the mushrooms being translated into characters in predictable enough ways, or is it all a bit arbitrary?
>>291963227Make it unpeaceful.
>>291975509I mean they've just got anthropomorphised mushroom features, don't they?Like, magic mushrooms are known for their nipple like cap, coral mushroom guy has coral like hair and destroying angels are identified with their veil like skirtDestroying Angel having the funeral veil on is an incredible aesthetic by the way
>>291973789Fly Agaric has some fun anthropological significanceReindeer love to eat them and get high and the natives who would ranch reindeer would drink the piss of said high reindeer to also get high without all the GI problems and so on you'd get from just getting the mushroom at the source
>>291975945I meant things like whether or not the mushroom person in question represents a species of fungus that might appear in the area (even if vanishingly rarely) or how exactly the biology of the fungus is being translated into a set of characteristics and powers (if any powers are present).
>>291975980>the natives who would ranch reindeer would drink the piss of said high reindeer to also get high without all the GI problemsI think I'll stick to rotten fruit thank you very much
>>291976404As far as that goes Kaen died with a burning desire to kill evil people and was reborn as an incredibly toxic mushroom that IRL is said to cause chemical burns on contact.
>>291968488It sounds more like it turns your own immune system against you
>>291976938Badass
>>291975980Cat shit coffee or reindeer piss tea?
>>291979256why not both?
>>291979306A man can only imbibe so many delicacies.
>>291967363You also literally need a liver transplant if you eat one
>>291975509I still don't know why Matsutake had mind control powers
>>291979636Japs really love how they smell.
>>291979576I'm built different
>>291980290sniffing matsutake-kun...
Alright. Time for Volume 6.It is a real monster.
No one ever has a good time here.
>>291982049Kino
>>291982049So fucked up... What am I even looking at?
>>291982367I'm guessing she was confined due to being an insanely fucking toxic mushroom with a really useful ability
>>291982123they truly live in a societyI guess that explains beniten's family, after the falling in love is unusual thing I was wondering why she had a mom and dad
Bad trip?
>>291982457>drugs you>doesn't even explain shit when that gets you into troublekek
She passed that speech check.
Our adorable little vomit goblin.
Nature's most talented war criminals.
>>291982623Best girlChrist she's not gonna make it is she
She's been a bad girl.
>>291982923Don't worry.
High class.
A very bad girl.
>>291982883They're just two groups with no understanding of the world killing each other for basically no good reason!Less justification even than when human do it, cause each is pretty unique too.
>>291982853>Hanahoukitake ("Broom Petal Mushroom")/Pinkish Coral Mushroom (Ramaria formosa) is a mildly poisonous European mushroom that causes nausea and vomiting if eaten, while Kurohatsu ("Black Early")/Blackening Brittlegill (Russula adusta) is a mildly poisonous mushroom from Europe and North America known for its quick life cycle and turning black when damaged; both species can be eaten if prepared correctly.
>>291983291A good race war doesn't need a "why", only a "how".
>>291983315Guess that answers my question if foreign fungi would show up
Lewd
>>291983363They be reincarnated from dead tourists/immigrants
Goons for the win.
>>291983440>That fucking localized title
>>291983601It really is terrible.
>>291983440Forget edible and poisonous, behead all the localizers involved in that decision.
>>291981986Now begins my biggest gripe with the series (the focus on the race wars instead of the whole human become mushroom thing... thankfully the arc that started recently is picking up the pace )
Very chunni
Such a little badass.
I think you can feel the escalation.
Liveleak lives on.
>>291983192to be fair, it ain't exactly like the poison mushrooms' operation here is any less barbaric and cruel...
>>291983686So cute how she grumpily bops them on the head with a stick
>>291984418To be fairer the Poison's nightmare factory actually produces results
>>291984381>We poison mushrooms are specialAre we just supposed to forget that that one edible had mind control powers?
>>291983815You are not special for disliking the best Arc in the series
Apologies for any delays.
Karma is a bitch
>>291984033I'm not really sure how simply knowing Kaentake is cause for immediate suspicion and hostility. She's clearly a poison mushroom. Is having friends suspicious? Is trying to reunite with your friend a crime here? In fact, being so hostile in the face of someone who just wants to see their friend only really causes you to seem incredibly suspicious.
>>291985025Game over
These two are a great pair.
>>291985025>Drinking a beverage offered by someone who clearly wants to murder youShe fell victim to the classic blunder.
>>291985099Bruh, you are easy food for spies
This series reminds me of the Towelket games a lot if anyone else played thoseSimilar aesthetic, similar themes, more shitpost-y though.
>>291984946I'm surprised this manga of all things has the balls to allude to Unit 731. The only other manga I think of that does something like that is Gyo.
>>291985205I'm just saying that her knowing Kaentake is the least suspicious thing about her and would only be suspicious if your goal were to use Kaentake in some malicious way that would go against his wishes, which they basically admit to her face in being immediately and openly hostile to her. They literally discuss it in front of her.
>>291985235I don't think this writer is super concerned about transgressing.
>>291983601Localisers experience an unparalleled sexual pleasure whenever they manage to push through a reprehensibly terrible lolcalisation, I'm convinced at that point. You don't do this shit just for money
Time for a total side quest.
>>291985279Hitokuchitake ("One-Bite Mushroom")/Veiled Polypore (Cryptoporus volvatus) is an inedible mushroom that lives on rotten trees. Some insects lay their eggs in them.
Fly is literally the GOAT
>>291985217There's this one video game that does this very similarly but I can't remember it. Not as good.
Off to battle!
She is now forever complicit.
>>291985643>Stupid-Pine>Garbage-Pine>Pine-Shitkek
>>291985696She has such a way with words.
>>291985761>Tamashiro-onitake ("Pearl-White Demon Mushroom")/American Abrupt-Bulbed Amanita (Amanita abrupta) is a poisonous mushroom from North America and east Asia known for its enlarged base. Ingestion can cause potentially fatal liver damage.
>>291985847>Tsuchiguri ("Earth Chestnut")/Hygroscopic Earthstar (Astraea hygrometricus) is a widespread edible mushroom known for its unusual star shape and medicinal properties.
>>291984154>if they came to hear me beg, they will be disappointed
>>291985984>Irogawari ("Color Change")/Ink Stain Bolete (Cyanoboletus pulverulentus) is a widespread edible mushroom known for becoming entirely dark blue after being touched. Despite being theoretically edible, they are known to accumulate arsenic sometimes.
The deer shit thing is definitely a reference to Unit 731 calling its victims "logs."
>>291985984ENTE->>291986029-exit
>>291986029This could have been a FOUR PENIS panel, but the author chickened out.
>>291986197>they are known to accumulate arsenic sometimes.I mean that just depends on the soil where they grow, right? You would call all tomatoes potentially poisonous because you grew some near the Chernobyl exclusion zone
Happy Halloween to all.That will end Volume 6That is the last fully scanlated volume and the end of the main storytime.Tomorrow I'll post the last of the translated chapters in a shorter storytime.I hope this was a good read for all.Feel free to share any and all thoughts or reactions to the manga as a whole if you got them.I really like this series and hope that a few more new fans were created.
>>291985126One of my favorite chapter in this arc, it has the vibe that the chapters in the beginning have that I can't explain
>>291985188>>291985227Yay, Fly recovered!
>>291986338the guy scanlating this has been really slow recently. i think he mentioned some real life matters that were taking his attention. it's a shame, but what can you do?
>>291985301Worse I heard that the volume 1 sales are so bad that they canned localizing the rest
>>291986547Heard? From what source?
>>291985235>The only other manga I think of that does something like that is Gyo.Kurosagi Corpse Delivery Service straight up calls them out by name, mentions atrocities and has the heroes fight off their descendants Go read it, it's actually a good companion to this manga, it's some good gory horror
>>291983815Race wars started this manga and has been the main propellant, while the human memories stuff is more background.The human stuff is really cool, but not really the writer's main squeeze.
>>291984482She is a born tyrant.
>>291985099Kaen is meant to be a secret.
>>291986029>>291983247From the looks of things the Mushroom fairies do have genitals like humans but perhaps vestigial.
>>291961389cute chocolate queen
>>291987861But they were led to the camp BY one of the people associated (though loosely) with it. If they're upset about the secret being out, they should take it up with Waraitake.
>Love is in the air?>WRONG>THE SPORES ARE INCUBATING AT A RAPID PACE!
>>291961674these niggas are cool as fuck
>>291988710>Gyromitra esculentaAparently they smell really good and are a delicacy in the Midwest and Europethey're also apparently linked to ALS
>>291984105looks like the tenryuubito mark
>>291989301Just a little bit of that black magic.
>>291982623Shaguma is such a cute murderous psycho
>>291982819just realizing she has the E of LOVE and HATE on her thumbs cause they all have 3 fingers
>>291982793>funkoroYep, they dodged a nuke back then with those mushroom hunters.
>>291983031>>291983062>>291983088Uh-oh... They're so fucked in so many ways.
>>291983120Seeing so much of the Japanese flag being used, I wonder how much of her previous life does the leader remember.
>>291992145It is the little details that make it work
>>291984154>>291984189Hardcore Beniten
>>291984987>>291985025Routake drank and didn't even secretly switch the bowls? No way. I'm waiting on a fakeout.
>>291985188Yay! Fly is back!
>>291985371You can see the moment in which Sora breaks everyone's hearts.
>>291986338Thanks OP and happy Halloween.>That is the last fully scanlated volume and the end of the main storytime.I'm sad the storytime is almost over, but I've enjoyed the journey reading along.
>>291993933A woman can't be too perfect.
>>291993429She's undergone a lot of character development.
>>291986338>I really like this series and hope that a few more new fans were created.You succeeded in that, this is the first thing to motivate me to draw for myself in a while>That is the last fully scanlated volume and the end of the main storytime.How behind are the current scanlations exactly?
>>291996504>How far behind3.6 rotegenNot great not terrible 35 chapters tl'd, 42 released.
>>291983440>>291983601>>291983696I almost love how dogshit it is.
>>291961470So this is like Xmen brotherhood of mutants
>>291985984Oh look more edible mushrooms with useful superpowers. I suppose dissolving people into healing potions and realistically instakill pyrokinesis are stronger though.
