Reading last week’s chapter, with scenes with Minako and the sword, makes the original anime feel really lacking compared the manga. (I don’t recall if Crystal had that scene, either.) Okay, moving forward:
Act.12 敵—QUEEN METARIA
Here’s where the act numbers are getting messy. We have:
- Tankoubon: Act 11 (second half)
- Shinsouban: Act 12
- Kanzenban: Act 12
Thankfully the shinsouban and kanzenban have no disparities between their Act numbering.
We’re still keeping with the same thread for now, and probably through to the end of the current story arc. Feel free to keep asking any questions you may have from earlier in the series. Be sure to make use of the [spoiler] tags for anything spoilery, as some readers will still be working through earlier Acts. For any spoilery images, [details] works nicely as well.
Tankoubon is nearing the end of volume 3. Volume 4 is upcoming:
Shinsouban is starting up volume 3:
Kanzenban’s good for now.

Important: Tankoubon readers, be sure you get the fourth volume soon if you haven’t already!
Vocabulary
The second vocabulary sheet covers the second half of the story arc, and tabs for all 7 acts are available in case anyone reading ahead would like to add a vocabulary word or two along the way. (For all who have contributed, thank you very much!)
