Chapter 1:
The MC is on the way home from a band's last performance, feeling melancholy when she connects with another fan named 'Mina' through the fan chat who is also apparently on the same train as her, but before they can meet face to face the lighting on the train turns the color of burnt steel after announcing the wrong station.
Chapter 2:
A monster hunts through the train until it finds MC, but then a red-head with shark teeth comes barrelling in recklessly, nicks MC with his gun and then says "Fuck, I'm out." lmao how has he survived this long.
Chapter 3:
The train looks normal again but still no people. Green-hair tries to erase her memory but it doesn't work. I wonder if she knew what would happen later would she have pretended it worked...
Chapter 4:
Green-hair's name is Haku. He's taking MC to Darkwick Academy, an illustrious and mysterious private school. Lol Haku's trying really hard not to freak her out, others might have just tried to drag her or be rude and not say much.
Chapter 5:
The two step through a portal and take the Galaxy Express (with a cat conductor) to get to the school.
Chapter 6:
The chancellor is a big fan of cats so they're everywhere. Nicolas, professor of 'anomalous medicine', heals MC's wound.
MC also meets professor Hyde, who teaches 'Anomalous Biology'. He wears a blindfold and his whimsical attitude makes me think of Gojou from Jujutsu Kaisen. XD
He wants to do a psych eval to find out why the matches didn't work on her.
Chapter 7:
Hyde explains anomalies to MC. "We're a gobal organization that searches out anomalies so we can study and regulate them. Darkwick Academy is our cover, as well as our training facility."
Two disembodied hands named Hodge and Podge are the scribe as Hyde asks question, I want to know if they have bodies or once did.
After confirming that MC met eyes with the anomaly, she has to basically do a quiz to get a Warding card.
I don't what what I picked the first time around this this time I picked:
-the aurora borealis image
-answered 'being powerless' for the greatest fear question
-for the 'which animal best represents you' I picked 'cat' because although I like to be cuddly sometimes, I'm also really independent and like to do my own thing.
-Desired birthday gift: money.
-How do I want people to remember me: open-minded.
-Superpower: as interesting as time travel sounds, I'd rather have shapeshifting and fly or run like the wind!
-on a Saturday night you can be found: learning a new skill.
-greatest flaw: I'm anxious
-which food makes you happy: cookies
The results were not accurate at all but it says 'you'd do well in Frostheim House'...I think that's what I got the first time, too?? I do so love 'blue'.
Chapter 8:
The Chancellor is weird looking guy with a weird voice lol, he doesn't look so bad in the illustration to the right though. His name is Cornelius.
The test results show no psychological interference, but because she looked into the anomaly's eye she has been cursed and will die in one year.
Chapter 9:
Apparently Taiga didn't manage to defeat or capture the anomaly.
Cornelius explains ghouls, tougher than ordinary humans and possessing special abilities. Darkwick has general admission students but only ghouls are allowed in the special admissions program. They're like the special forces.
If the matches had worked, MC wouldn't be cursed. Cursed people are put under surveillance and not allowed to leave until (if) a cure is found.
Chapter 10:
MC is naturally freaked out especially because the chancellor called it 'detention' like she'd done something wrong. And then they wanted to look through her things. She couldn't pack anything or finish up things at home either.
When Nicolas gets an urgent phone call about some people being found, she sneaks away.

Watched ep. 3-4 of 2.5-jigen no Ririsa.
Episode 1: I forgot how good-looking the characters are! And it does a good job of conveying a lot in one episode.
