BSD fandom bear with me as i do some math, cause I've been trying to figure out just how far this season is going to get in adapting the manga, and today's episode threw my calculations out the window!
This is a chart I've been using to keep track of the episodes of S5 so far:
The average number of manga pages adapted per episode is 104,7.
The largest amount of pages adapted in an episode is 129 (episode 3).
The smallest amount of pages adapted in an episode is 81 (episode 7).
If the average remains 104-ish, this season should surpass current manga chapters by a couple of months and end around chapter 112, assuming that future chapters' lenght stays the same.
BUT, that's a lot of assumptions, and the average of pages as been going down in the last few chapters... So I have decided to calculate some possibilities!
The worst (realistic) case scenario is:
Ep 8: ch 100-102 (87 pages)
Ep 9: ch 103-105 (87 pages)
Ep 10: 106-part of 108 (80/90 pages)
Ep 11: part of 108-110 (80/90 pages)
The best (realistic) case scenario is:
Ep 8: ch 100-103 (120 pages)
Ep 9: ch 104-107 (123 pages)
Ep 10: 108-110 (100/110 pages)
Ep 11: ?????? at least 3 other chapters, taking us to chapter 113 (released next december if they don't do any more half-chapters)
Now, I imagine that the truth will be somewhere between these 2 scenarios... But it is reassuring that - unless they decide to REALLY stretch the upcoming episodes - it doesn't look like Season 5 risks finishing with a cliffanger after chapter 109!
...I hope!!

I was working on my retelling of ch.101 and i accidentally wrote
“if you had asked sigma from a month ago what his thoughts on death via murder were” instead of “if you had asked sigma from a month ago what his thoughts on death via drowning were”

Hi Popo, sorry for disturbing u ;; but- is it true that BSD chapter 102 comes out tomorrow (June 2)? Wasn't it supposed to come out on Friday 3? I'm so confused, I read on your resume of the last chapter that the next ch will be released June 3.
It comes out at 0:00 June 3 (Japan time) and because of the difference in time zones, it can be June 2 for some people (people who live in the US, for example). You can check on Google to see what time is 0:00 JST in your country, to know exactly what time the chapter comes out for you.
Hope it helps.

Placing my bets now in the next chapter Akutagawa is just going to have another one of his epic last chapter page entrances™

Oh Atsushi…
I can’t imagine how stressful it must be for him to wake up restrained, especially given his history at the orphanage, and after Teruko’s ability. His eyes say it all—that’s pure panic
