That makes no sense. It’s heavily implied in Ennui Go that Lucian is actually the Lucian from this comic. Ennui Go Lucian even mentions Soleil at one point, who’s one of the characters from this comic. I’m guessing that Kirsty and Lucian eventually get married and give birth to Ashley and her sister. It makes no sense that Ashley’s sister would eventually become Izzy’s mom. We even see a younger version of Izzy’s mom in Ennui Go, and she looks nothing like Ashley’s sister. If that was the case, though, that would mean Kirsty, who is Izzy’s clone, would have to be Izzy herself’s grandmother. So your theory is untrue. Well, unless Doc decides to bring up some time travel bullshit in Ennui Go.
Yep, this is it. Izzy's clone sister Kirsty is the mom in RSF. She marries Lucian and they have Ashley and her sisters. Although I now consider RSF to be the "bad end" of their story.
Ryn, the gender depends of the FATHER'S genetic material, so yes, it IS irrelevant to her clone status.

(you should know that because it's taught at school and you're browsing a 18+ website, BTW)
I passed biology back in... before 2004 I forget which year exactly and they weren't teaching that back then, at least in the highschool I went to. It's possible it's either NOT universally taught, at least here in the state, or also possible it's been added sometime in the past 15 years to the required curriculum. Truth be told though it's also equally possible they/I just forgot, it's a lot harder to remember every single thing you've ever been taught then people seem to think.
@ Embarec Geez, really? They do not teach such basic stuff as the whole XY chromosome pairs stuff in HIGH SCHOOL where you live? Given that my 10-old daughter was already taught that a year ago (and she already knew from FRENCH CHILDREN'S CARTOONS), I must ask: Where in the world is that? Bible belt of the US? Afghanistan? Somalia?
That image does NOT explain why a certain couple only has boys or girls as children.
Apparently, you can increase the probability of a boy with fucking exactly at the time of the ovulation because the "male" sperm are supposed to be faster, and the probability of a girl by fucking 2 days earlier because the "female" sperm is supposed to be slower but also live longer. And I bet that when to fuck a woman to make a boy and when to make a boy was not taught in your school. Actually I know it wasn't because you don't know it.
When to fuck a woman was not taught in my school either, I found out much later.
Just binged the whole Ennui Go because of reasons. First (still unnamed) appeareance of Lucien is #617 where he's introducted as a researcher Izzy just hired AND as Kristy's blatant love at first sight. He's later just an infrequent recurrent character, always as Kristy's boyfriend helping her with her YT channel, no mention of his work as researcher whatsoever.
You're welcome.
Did I just binge read the series ay 4am? Yes. Do I regret? No. Its a dark... origin story? And more serious one with better story writing compared to ennuigo, since its only story and not slice of life jokes. Good job.
I know that you sold Ennui Go! as physical copies. Would you ever consider selling a physical copy of RSF? I love the artwork and story and I would certainly buy it.
I'm not sure if you're still offering, but I'm interested in buying one if you're still willing to sell! Is there a business email or something I could reach out to?
This comic is so weird. I just re-read for a second time, and my perspective hasn't changed.
On the one hand, I love the art. Even if it was not intendeed, it looks very manga-inspired. From things like DragonBall to BakiTheGrappler, a lot of characters and scenes reminds me of series I used to enjoy. I also love how down to earth it is with many complex topics, such
as alcoholism or parental abandonment.
On the other hand,I find the implied molestation to be really disturbing and kind of out of place. I understand it's the dark twist of the plot, but I have a hard time wrapping my head around it. Even if it's somewhat down-to-earth, the series still feels "shonen-ish", so seeing such a gruesome topic in the middle of it is simply off-putting.
If you are talking about the lucian and his kids, I thought he was beating them. Ashley said she though he was beating gabby and asked gabby about bruises on her face.
If this was the "bad end," then what would a "good end" entail?
Would the inclusion of magic and superheroes in ennuigo play a role?
Would Lucian being exposed to weird ass shit early on compel him to think, "Huh. Maaaaybe I should call that Omega dude and have him keep an eye on my colleague."
Would Akihiro be Max's final test as Lens apprentice?
A lot to think about for the ennuigo EU.
Whatever that black magic substance was, it seemed to either control or manipulate the mind. We see that when he temporarily regains control and his eyes turn to normal at the news of his wife's passing.
I think a good end, assuming events line up similarly in the main timeline, would be either control or eradication of this corrupting magic, preferably even before Akihiko (or whatever his name is) discovers it.
re, Lucien temporally regaining control - lets us put things in perspective: HE ALMOST REGAINED CONTROL.
This guy loved his wife and family so much that the shock of her passing was ALMOST enough for him to WRESTLE BACK CONTROL from that evil, hideous, mind-controlling magic. He who has no magic on his own.

Lucien is also a victim, he was a fucking hero before being mind-controlled, and he deserves also a good ending timeline in the EG series.
Umm...Wow. I saw mentions that this story was dark. But damn it's REALLY dark. But really fucking good too. I think I might start buying the physicals for your comics. I was thinking it with Ennui GO part 1, but now I'm sure. I need all of this and to share it with people I know.
Now that I've re-read it and know its connected to Ennui Go. It seems weird that this family didn't know about magic. Given the relation to Max and Izzy. Both of Kirsty's sisters would know about magic would they not clue her in? And she in turn clue her husband in?
I mean, Max's parents still think he is just crazy, and izzy, len, and the local fabulous mafia being his sources of proof doesn't seem to make it less crazy.
I see no reason for Kirstie to belive him either, and before all the fuckery with dark magic her husband was a scientist, so I doubt he would belive in magic either until given solid empirical evidence.
And as a reminder, the only reason magic seems so obvious to US is that max can see it clearly, to everyone else the average spell just looks like conveniently timed luck.
There is like a 6 month gap between your comment and this reply, so of course your observation was valid. With that clarification out of the way...
{SPOILER FOR ENNUI GO! AHEAD}
Turns out, time travel shenanigans happened. And every time someone travelled back in time, more magic and more weirdness were added to the world. So it's entirely possible that the continuity we read in this comic-series was one of the first branches before the world got full of superheroes, aliens, elder-gods and fish-women. There are also some "missed timelines" theories I won't get into, but the general idea is that the relative "normal~ness" of this series has been explained as a result of that.
So, coming into Ennui Go pretty mid-stream I probably breezed through a lot of the first half of the first volume trying to catch up and missed a lot of the inter-family connections. I'm pretty well caught up on volume 2 but I was wondering if there are any particular issues/storyline from volume 1 that would help with the Lucian and Clone Darcy as I feel I'm missing some context between the two series.
Ashley's mom is Izzy's clone. She was created by a character named Venus as part of an elaborate revenge plot. After all was said and done, Izzy and Adelie decided to adopt the clone as a new sister. She later married Lucian. That's about all you need to know.
I’ve been checking for updates for a couple weeks now. I had thought there might be few more pages of RSF content, now that things have been resolved in EG.
Still checking. My guess is after Max and gang get through college and/or early adulthood. the RSF cast will be there more and eventually moved on to. But who knows. I'm here for the ride.
I'll give you some relief, this page will not be updated. Like I'll agree with you, it would've been REALLY cool if somehow I was able to start updating this simultaneously with Ennui GO!, but I have neither the time nor the energy to do so. Rainbow Skies Forever will remain as it is as supplemental reading for Ennui GO!.
You know, a final page with a happy Ashley and the words "the end - don't expect more" (or any variations thereof) replacing the final page with a crying Ashley and the words "Year two" (read: expect more content) would do the trick quite nicely. Not a request, just a low-cost. high-profit sugestion.
Most people could spend a lifetime scribbling and not make something that even approaches that.
