Sekai had Atheism.

Worst menthal disorder ever

And here I was thinking Sensei had a potentially terminal case of apathy.

Nah, he's too interested in eating hamburgers to be apathetic.

]lots of her "hasn't worked the way it's supposed to".

Leaving out the "since I was little" seems like a major oversight.

The way she says it, it implies that those parts of her worked fine, up until they didn't.

Either her trauma shut those parts of her down, or the medications she was put on to treat that trauma did. Most likely a combination of both.

Since Yasu "hears God and The World" in her head she'd probably be diagnosed with schizophrenia in the real world. Maybe the flashback is about that, her taking anti-halucinogic drugs.

That's what makes Yasu hard to diagnose, in the real world you would just assume she is a schizophrenic who had been convinced the voices in her head were from god and the dead. Add in the sexual aspect of her cult and you would assume she was being groomed. The fact that gods are confirmed to be real in this world makes it far less simple.

"Major oversight" seems like an exaggeration. I was using her description, not the time period.

There's also how Io implies that "trauma-less Io" still has problems:

Which would make a relationship with Sensei "never work".

So, I don't think all her issues come from trauma. I also don't think it's been implied that the medications actually cause her problems either.

In otherwords: By "since I was little" she could just be trying to be vague. Io doesn't actually seem to want Sensei to know her secrets.

Me? Prone to exaggeration?

That's unpossible!

Yasu also talks to stuffed animals which talk back, and apparently perv on her at times when she isn't paying attention.

I'm rather excited for some Yasu lore. Something tells me it'll be quite interesting.

I'll drop some facts just to change topic to something hotter

1) Sensei starts with 10/20 class while Wakana has fer class almost full from start
2) According to Maya, something in Kumon-mi changes between hard (with Sensei) resets. She mentioned new buisnesses opened as example.
3) Psyco Ami

Do you guys see same coincedence I see?

Not sure if you meant to type "unpossible", but that somehow got a chuckle out of me.

For real, though, it depends on the coincidence you're seeing. I can see a few.

It's a Simpsons reference. Just a moment of self-awareness and self-deprecating humor on my part.

Why don't you say what it is so I can say I saw it?

I see the coincedence that all these sentences are made of words containing letters.

I'm confused by this particular scene, One of Noriko's in chapter 2, usually redacted stuff is names of people but at this point in her story i thought Sekai was dead already so who's being redacted? Maya is mentioned without redaction... who else is there? Saki? No idea if she is dead and if so, when she died so i'm at a complete loss, any ideas?

I assumed it was Maya and that her name appears "redacted" because is linked to a memory and a time Sensei is not ready to remember yet. He glitches out in that event, something that especially happens when memories are related to past Maya or Sekai. And as you said, Sekai was dead at the time so that only leaves Maya. Now, if that's not it, I have no clue.

A question I always have is the little creepy tangent Yaus went on during The Smile, The Face.

She said a bunch of god-related ominous stuff insinuating something, then Otoha's mom called and ruined the party. During the call Yasu was unable to hear something and was looking insecure about it.
(all the while Maya being a silent observer in the background, but I'll ignore it for the moment as it probably doesn't have to mean something)

Was she only foreshadowing a phone call is coming? She did "ring a lot", and the nature of the call and the aftermath weren't pleasant, but was that all? The whole situation was just...very humanly common in comparison to how Yasu's god usually portrayed itself (i.e., FUCK GIRLS FOR ME!). The only seemingly supernatural thing at the downstream of the event chain was Spotless Mind, where Sensei received his own DRM-free care package, but I don't see how this could be connected to what Yasu said.

Unless the part where Otoha's mom not remembering her daughter telling her about the party beforehand somehow has inserted false memories involved and not just miscommunication, but still the whole thing just looks very...puny.

Not to mention afterwards Yasu couldn't hear something, presumably temporarily losing auditory connection to her god. But how, and why? Intervention of another being? Or was not Yasu under the influence of her god during those times? (we did later on learn that Yasu can be interfered by other voices)
What prompts me into thinking this way is that Yasu said something is here and not simply He, or whatever religious subjects she's been using to reference her god.
