Countless loops, no matter how much is sacrificed, even if she no longer resembles herself, as long as she can save you, everything is worth it.
Such emotions cannot be understood from a few words; only through these repeated loop experiences can readers deeply feel them, and their emotions will fluctuate greatly.
This time, Izumi Saikou still wrote at his current best level, moving everyone.
The sense of plot coherence, the single-minded devotion—in every aspect, readers could find no fault with this volume.
Including the previous depiction of Kyoko and Sayaka's lovers' suicide, which was also very moving.
"Well… written… Chihiro."
Eriri smoothed the corner of her eye, trying hard to control the physiological urge to cry, and tsundere-ly expressed her approval.
The tears were not just from being moved, but also from sadness, from empathizing with Homura Akemi; it was just that due to the bias and shaping, the thought of being moved appeared first in her mind.
"But isn't all of this because of you! You bastard Chihiro!"
After a while, she wiped away her tears again and mumbled.
…
"How touching… Hehehe, but if I were Homura Akemi, wouldn't Senpai be my 'Madoka'?"
While expressing her approval, Kani Nayuta also had another peculiar thought.
Everything originated from their first meeting and first rescue, making Madoka an existence in Homura Akemi's heart unlike anyone else.
Therefore, she was willing to lose everything and abandon herself for her.
Others felt a profound sense of emotion, while she felt that it truly depicted her inner thoughts.
If she and Senpai also encountered the same predicament, she would also be willing to go through countless loops to save Senpai… Absolutely!
"But if Senpai heard me say this, he definitely wouldn't approve, right?"
Kani Nayuta showed a simple and honest smile.
… …
"Ugh…"
When Shino Aki turned to the last page, her suppressed emotions could no longer be controlled, and she was so dramatically moved that she cried.
Because they had also been reading in the car, the three of them were at roughly the same pace, finishing almost simultaneously.
However, compared to the other two, her emotional display was undoubtedly more obvious.
"I'm sorry for letting you all see me in such a disgraceful state…"
After a dozen seconds, Shino Aki wiped away her tears, her eyes still watery, and said.
"It's nothing, it was indeed a bit touching. Even I felt like crying."
Usami Suzune's expression was far more serious than usual.
Normally, she always put on a smiling face.
Her current change showed that her emotions had truly been stirred.
"Teacher Izumi…"
Senju Muramasa did not express her opinion, only murmured, her eyes seemingly holding a myriad of starlight.
Amazing!
… …
Readers also expressed their praise from various angles.
["The expected Sword arrived. From a personal perspective, Kyoko's death felt much stronger than Mami Tomoe's and Sayaka's."]
["Old Thief, this volume is so good! Whether it's the pacing in the beginning or Homura Akemi's personality change later on, the emotional depth is so wonderful and captivating…"]
["I feel like there's been a huge improvement, especially in the writing of personal emotions. Did Old Thief study with Teacher Kani?"]
["And her only friend… Heh! Mami also helped Homura Akemi many times. Is that not considered a friend? I think you just covet Madoka's body! However, I like this kind of CP pairing."]
["This volume is so touching. It seems I underestimated the teacher's ability. Although there were some knives, after reading it this time, what I felt more was emotion."]
["I don't feel as sad as before, but rather a bit moved. Is there something wrong with me?"]
["Everyone, don't listen to them blindly, they must be paid trolls! Don't forget how Old Thief stabbed you before! And Kyoko's death could have been avoided, right? But he still went and stabbed her…"]
["As everyone knows, Old Thief has no emotions, and Kyubey has no emotions, so Old Thief = Kyubey."]
["Old Thief, you really are a Kyubey!"]
["Old Thief, leave at least one pair alive! You really can't kill anymore! There are only two left! It's still not too late to turn back now!"]
As for the few scattered 'bad reviews,' he ignored them.
At first, when everyone saw Kyoko's love suicide, although they were moved, there was also anger, but after reading Homura Akemi's story, they suddenly felt… that it wasn't such a big deal anymore.
This could be considered a kind of mutual neutralization!
Additionally, comments from the CP fandom suddenly increased.
Previously, the emotional display between Sayaka and Sakura Kyoko, and Homura Akemi and Madoka, hadn't truly manifested, so everyone merely expressed their desires.
But after reading the story of love suicide and the infinite loop, the CP mindset suddenly infected many people.
["Sayaka and Kyoko, Homura and Madoka… What kind of divine CPs are these two pairs? Locked in!"]
["Red and blue forever! I will always love Sayaka and Kyoko!"]
["Damn it, I said they had CP vibes before, but this volume suddenly turned them into an underworld CP. Old Thief, aren't you annoying?!"]
["Switching roles, the dynamic between Madoka and Homura is really interesting~ A timid Homura is also very cute."]
["Oh no, oh no, I used to really dislike Homura Akemi, but I feel like I've fallen for her now… especially when I saw her holding hands with Madoka!"]
["Yuri fans are satisfied!"]
["I suggest Old Thief changes the art style and turns it into Homura Akemi and Madoka's daily romance, directly starting to dish out candy. If that happens, everyone will forget everything that happened before."]
… …
"Heh heh…"
Looking at these comments, Izumi Chihiro couldn't help but laugh out loud.
puella magi madoka magica is not a romance light novel!
But if you insist on thinking that, then so be it.
"Ni-san, what are you looking at? Is there something funny?"
Sagiri came down from the second floor and noticed her brother laughing at his phone on the sofa.
"Nothing, just checking the comments from the silly netizens."
Izumi Chihiro looked up.
"I see."
Sagiri moved closer, extended her delicate little hand, and asked curiously, "Ni-san, let me see too! I want to see what everyone thinks of Ni-san…"
She used to not read comments much because she was afraid of seeing negative reviews about herself and being affected mentally.
At that time, her drawing skills were indeed not mature enough.
As for now, she no longer needed to worry about such problems.
She had grown a lot.
In all aspects.
