I feel a bit silly not having started reading Otherside Picnic before now, especially because my understanding of it was that it was more 'zombies and guns, with girls' which I kinda hate as a premise and not 'the hifuu club take on cognitohazards' which is far more my jam
currently at chapter 20 of the manga OH COME THE FUCK ON YOU GOTTA BE KIDDING ME
I knew the author'd written hifuu stuff before, but still was a bit "huh it sure is maribel's powers split between the two of them" when I started watching the anime
Honestly when I wrote the post I was saying that half-seriously, I didn't consider that this could have been an explicit inspiration. Which is funny in retrospect -- as is the fact that especially after that tome I just wrote that this is the first time I've even tried to read it
