Toaru Kagaku no Railgun Manga Chapter 141

Friendship (修好) is the 141st chapter of the Toaru Kagaku no Railgun manga series, released on August 26th 2022 in Monthly Comic Dengeki Daioh.

Synopsis
Hasekura Reiri gathers her clique to discuss about Mikagami Nagisa's proposal for a truce between the two cliques after the discovery of a potential third party causing conflict between the two parties. Although initially met with stern disapproval, the dissent is quickly doused by Mikagami promising to use her powers on everyone in the clique if the conflict is resolved. Four days pass and Hasekura is puzzled about the lack of actions from the supposed third party that has been causing the conflict. To force a reaction out of the culprit, she decides to create a scenario where Shokuhou Misaki appears to be helping the Mikagami Clique for the investigation, which involves surrounding Misaki with the Hasekura Clique's key members to secure her and strengthen the ruse.

Three days later, Hasekura, who is accompanied by Kessai Kiyoshi as recommended by Asato Kisa, has a chance encounter with Sha Danshan, who voices her disappointment for not being considered for helping in the investigation. There, an attack takes place, with Hasekura identifying an Aero Shooter user and a calcium projectile user like Sukezawa Sena from the attacks.
