Arina tanemura manga

Welp. What a ride.
I already knew the game was gonna have a bunch of mystery and puzzles so I decided that, for the first time, I'd use a notebook. And I'm glad I did.
The actually beginning of the notebook is taken by other random notes, so I decided to start at the end of it. I progressed like you would with a manga, basically. Right to left.
First, some basic puzzles. Ended up listening to the numbers stations, fetching a bunch of German phonetics, writing down numbers I'd understand, only to give up halfway because I'd never be given a cypher anyway; making little memos about extra items left in places, making a map, jotting down random questions about the characters and the environment back when I could barely remember which one was alina and which one was Ariane.
Starting with the page that says "end" on the top left, I'm just realizing that the game isn't gonna give me concrete answers about anything, so I'd just write stuff down and do heavy brainstorming. Sometimes going back pages and doing edits and addendums. The notes don't show me studying every single saved document as soon as I realized I was at the very last bit of normal gameplay. This is the point where Erika being the Gestalt crossed my head as a possibility and I went "...oh shit." and got me really locked in, spent like an hour just writing stuff down.
I wish I wrote more of went on in my head at the earlier more confusing stages, I really do. All the little things I was piecing together as I went through the dorms about the relationships between the replicas. I also wish I held back on going back pages and adding onto them with little notes. Makes it a mess. For the later stages you can just tell I was interested in the characters, I was mostly obsessed about what relationship they had, trying to find something to link Arina to everyone else other than Elster's, figuring out who Elster's Gestalt is, when suddenly a few things start to make sense.
I didn't bother to down write anything that characters or notes stated that answered my questions, also more general questions like the nation's meddling, Alina's identity, my thought process on the effect of ariane's bioresonance on the "looping" and the world, or the whereabouts of her, or how warped the "nothing" facility is, or how I started to think the flesh might be imaginary in the Nothing facility, or any of my thoughts on ariane's bioresonance powers possibly bring amplified by the device in the secret facility and how that changes every "cycle" and relates to what Falke writes down about dreamers. Nothing about Ariane's disease and stuff either, I regret not putting my thoughts about that on the paper, or how the bioresonance may have led her to want to land on Lent specifically. Wish I wrote more on all of those. There's a bunch of stuff I have little thought to.
Watching the ending didn't really change much, just slightly reaffirmed my suspicion about Elster being Erika, but added more questions and sadness. But I will be doing the other endings still, and by myself, so I'll be avoiding spoilers the next few days.
Hope you found my stupid schizo notes entertaining! I think they show how special this game was to me, even if note-taking ability and handwriting for that matter is middle school level lmao. Hope they brought you a smile at least.
P.s. I'd like to do the Lily ending by myself, without help, is it possible? I heard it involves fronting) decoding radio messages into images; if with just that I can figure out the location of the keys, I'll be satisfied.

I frequently go thrifting and occasionally find manga. The cashier couldn't believe that they were only $0.50 each. I don't have any of these in my collection. Inu Yasha 38-40 and animanga 5 Ouran 3 and 4 Chrono Crusade 4-7 The Gentleman's Alliance 1-2,4-5 Girl Got Game 3 Ex library
All seem to be in good condition but volumes were pretty random. Tried to go back subsequent days, hoping there was more, but that was it.

W/ this month I’ve now hit 750+! (All of these are thrifted!)
I also now have 3 different versions of Clover 😆

Someday, maybe, I'll own more of these series 🤞

My favorite shelves are my Arina Tanemura/Maki Enjoji and my Yona of the Dawn one💞📚🥰
What about you? What are your fave shelves/series in your collection? :3

Here are some new volumes that I added to my collection:)

Some of the volumes are missing but I already made a post about that. So here’s my final order.
