YHBG ~ Choujin X Chapter 27

We may be months late, but at least we're not Yamato Mori keepers coming to save the day late, amirite? The beach saga continues, and we're introduced to two new Mori instructors with some very particular skills. The kids talk about their hopes and dreams, until their actual dreams start taking a dark turn... You guys probably already know how this ends up, but we don't. So laugh along as we are probably wrong about everything that's gonna happen! :)

Welcome to the chapter 138 discussion. Our first guest this month representing eremika nation is Alooulla from the Shingeki no Kyojin subreddit. We also welcomed back "Eren optimist" Safflora  for this penultimate discussion. I think the biggest surprise this month (besides the discovery that Safflora might be a closeted EH shipper 👀) is that with 45 pages remaining we are still left with far more questions than answers. Or rather, this chapter felt like an answer, but it was one without an...

YHBG ~ Chapter 137 with AndrewAllStars and Underscore
