Shinsekai Yori: the queerats

But I simply dare not write anything before the story is well ahead, exactly because they leave out so much. I can’t know when they decide to stuff those details back in, and I definitely don’t want to spoil anyone. Anyway, now that with episode 8 we’re past the timeskip (and the story’s moved on to the second book), I can write about a few details worth mentioning.
