Solid 4.5 stars. Overall this manga’s going steady and when I sit down to read a volume I get entirely enthralled. I love seeing Owner’s duality and how manipulative they can really be, how they just sit back and watch things fall into place. I also loved learning more about Butterfly and Spider, both of which are characters that are growing on me. There is still some mystery surrounding them, but I like that we are leaning more about them as the volumes go on. Also seeing the way everything is intertwined, the philosophies of what Owner teaches every one of their guests, how they make every one of those people see the darkest parts of themselves. How they can bring out the worst in every individual and even trick ones who did things that were, in reality, inconsequential. There’s very interesting lessons to be learned and they’re taught in very creative ways.
Okay, random thing, but we talk about the height difference, Owner is so much shorter than Butterfly and Spider I-
Ooh Spider has a day off? Word, what does that mean?
Owner’s cute smile I-
Spider is dying? :( I really like his character. We see that Spider was tainted by the woman’s touch. That led him to be cursed. He was pushed off a cliff and left to die.
Not Owner being a badass then innocently saying:
“Every time I take my eyes off you for even a minute, I immediately want to save you.”
I don’t know if I should be touched or worried.
Owner explained to Spider, when he first found him at the bottom of the cliff, that all they were really doing by throwing people to their deaths was creating a cycle of grudges that would never end. Spider was complicit in it for having thrown the woman that tainted him, even if he didn’t kill her and wanted her to live. He wanted to protect among people who had no mercy. He teaches Spider that the real villains weren’t the monsters, that it was people and their mercilessness and cruel natures. Because he saved her life she would only live a life of suffering.
Oof Owner telling Spider that at first they only wanted his secret but that they came to cherish and adore him... soft
So Butterfly runs into this man named Kaibara, a man who’s there as he stated “for his own reasons” he tells Butterfly he already gave all his secrets. OH! He’s the friend of the guy who researched Youkai’s. He went missing but he was just at the Inn. He’s the guy who said that he was afraid of his friend, so that’s where he’s been.
When Kaibara asked Butterfly if he ever wanted to go home and Butterfly (looking sorta bummed) said, “like where?” My heart
Kaibara talks to Butterfly about how people aren’t conscious of the things that are inside of them, we don’t until we process that it’s “ugly” or unacceptable. Because Kaibara says this, Butterfly is aware now of what he is. He is starting to wonder who’s in him. Because the butterflies that make up his body are the souls of people that have passed, he wonders who they were. What they did. How they died.
*gasp* Butterfly felt fear, he felt a human emotion :’)
When those three people thought Owner was a kid, my friends, this is the most formidable being to exist, but go off, I guess.
He literally had to call for Spider and Butterfly, I KNEW the height difference would come into play lol.
Omg, wait, Owner really do be smol. What he looking so innocent and harmless for?
I can’t get over how *tiny* Owner looks with his innocent smiles

I LOVE THAT WE GOT MORE ABOUT THE HELPERS IN THIS VOLUME!!! These volumes continue to border on what I can handle, as I am a bit skiddish. But I continue to enjoy each volume! And more stories about The Spider please!
