Oh! She said the thing! It was us! We were the Rain Beaus all along! XD

And a new Chiaki Koizumi manga, huh? Sounds neat. Don't worry too much about that right now. Perhaps I'm just table setting for later. ~~Wink, wink.~~ ;)

Naturally, we'll find out who's calling next time, meaning we'll get to see another character, finally! But who could it be...?

Rain is so cute :3

It also makes me really sad that this is the last chapter. At least I'll have other stuff of yours to read after!

It sounds like Fara, Gavin, Ryan or one of the Strongwell kids is calling. Hi from Mexico.

ok we could be asking who is calling or texting, i think the better question is what is her ring tone?

also Rain Beaus is just amazing

The Kaminari anime OP of course. The 2nd one being sung by the group "L'Arc～en～Ciel" ;)

And just like that, you have firmly lodged "Lost Heaven" into my head.

Also, I really hope you've seen "Moonchild"

Kaminari opening title theme most likely.

I feel awfully sorry for Rain that in six years on HRT she's had next to no boob growth :(

I've been on HRT for 6 years, and I'm up to an AA cup, maybe.

After 3 years HRT, I got up to a full B cup (age in my late 50s!) but that included some significant weight gain too, so I dieted and lost quite a bit of weight which unfortunately involved dropping back down to an A cup. By then I had enough money saved up to get implants and that's been a game changer. One word of advice though.... don't go overboard on the size if you do ever decide to go that route. I went a little too large myself, and there have been times when I wish I'd chosen a little more conservatively on the size, but all in all.... 2 years of having implants now, and I'm glad I did it.

2 and 1/2 years HRT
"Large" B cup (54 B)

It's different for everyone but the important thing I remind myself of is that they are there and I finally have them

the fact that she calls her followers Rain Beaus is adorably perfect! feels like she's talking directly to us! i love it!

Gilly (Guest) 7th Jan 2022, 12:43 PM

She kept the hair short? I am surprised. I really was expecting her to grow it out, at least shoulder length.

Allison (not that one) (Guest) 7th Jan 2022, 12:43 PM

I guess I'm just really un-hip, but: what is the
significance of the purple triangle and dash on
Rain's right cheek?

@Allison (not that one)

It's actually a reference to some Chiaki Koizumi stuff in canon. More on this later. ~~But don't worry. It's just makeup, and will come right off. She just does it for the show.~~ ^_^

Okay. Serious question. How would you call the fanbase in other languages? :P

Also, I think Lydia is the one calling her. I think

TK-Dragon (Guest) 8th Jan 2022, 1:50 AM

But isn't Lydia like 6 years old or something? And wouldn't she still be in the same house?

ValeryGraciela 8th Jan 2022, 4:29 PM

Touché.

My first guess was that she would be at school, or something.

So we're going to hear about Second Prophet in My Impossible Soulmate.... Maybe the main characters of SP will correspond to the main characters of MIS in the same way the Rain cast lines up with the BWK cast?

Emma (Guest) 7th Jan 2022, 2:25 PM

Ooh? Different love interests? I wonder if it's what Rain and Maria predicted when the first episode of the anime came out.... Hmmm (ngl I hope Kaminari + Aneko is the anime ship :))

Phrown (Guest) 7th Jan 2022, 10:42 PM

I’m interested in the title of the manga. Usually the word second has a negative meaning (second best, second-rate etc.) So then why is it in title? My hypothesis is that it takes place in a great civilization that was founded long ago by the First Prophet. Their name was put on the map and now things are running smoothly. But now the Second Prophet came and is shaking up everything. She’s preaching a gospel that goes against the status quo and the higher ups don’t like it.

wait so rains hair isnt longer. i like her with short hair and like kaminari but like she didnt choose to cut her hair kellen did and she said she was growing it out?

Edit Delete Reply

naobilynn (Guest) 9th Jan 2022, 10:13 AM

She probably decided she liked it shorter. I went through that, saying I would grow it out and later decided short hair is better. Not everyone looks better with long hair anyways. She looks super cute too.

Fourth Nate (Guest) 9th Jan 2022, 12:15 PM

Six years is plenty of time to have grown it longer and then cut it on her own terms. It's probably a fair guess that she's been through a few different hairstyles since before the timeskip. That's my guess, anyway

Edit Delete Reply

Prezombie 10th Jan 2022, 12:07 AM

In the beginning, her hair was long and she hid behind it. Then she had it cut as a violation, symbolically outing her. As she recovered, her hair few back, but not the same as before, and now she has a clip holding the hair out of her eyes, she's choosing not to hide who she is anymore.

So does that imply that both her and Maria were right about who Kaminari's love interest is?
