What to expect from Gokurakugai chapter 8?

Since her debut, Kanata has refrained from hurting humans and has even distanced herself from them to suppress her untamed hunger. The latest chapter confirms that she is part of a big cult comprised of many Maga hybrids, including Yomi and Yoru. Since Kanata doesn't intend to hurt humans, she will be disclosing everything to Alma.

As Alma is also a hybrid, Tao could never have found anyone more befitting for the job. Like an elder sister, the latter also cares for the former and believes in him. The Anti-Calamity Organization will greatly threaten the existence of Yomi and his group if Alma learns anything about them. So, Gokurakugai chapter 8 will possibly see a potential encounter between one of the Maga hybrids and Alma.

A brief recap of Gokurakugai chapter 7

Getting intel on the new Maga outbreak through Tatuomi, Tao told Alma they would head out to see what the fuss was about. After she gave a picture of the suspect, he was utterly shocked to learn that Kanata was behind the carnage in the Gokurakugai District. Elsewhere, Kanata, holding the card of the Troubleshooter Agency, waited for Alma outside the restaurant.

As hunger and evil thoughts made her frenzy, she hid near an abandoned walkway. After being approached by a woman who was concerned for her, Kanata ran away. Yomi, Yoru, and their other Maga hybrid accomplices had dinner together. One of the members was disappointed with how Yomi wanted them to act like humans. After a minor altercation, he left the premises.

Yomi was concerned about how Kanata was still fighting the thought of preserving her humanity. He even hoped that she would groom Alma to join them, given his Maga hybrid status. Yomi was firm on his decision that Kanata should soon accept what she had become.

Kanata tried reaching Alma by dialing his office’s landline many times in a row, but after no one picked up, she gave up. Alma found the Miche key ring that he gifted to Alma near a phone booth, and after tracking her for a while, he found her near a subway crying alone.
