This volume seems mildly shorter than the previous one, and it has one less chapter too. I haven’t read it yet, but I will assume a chapter a week works for this as well.
This feels like a return to some of the older style chapters with quite a nostalgic feel. I’m glad of that - I know some people also commented that they hoped it wouldn’t simply turn to a battle/fighting type manga (I know I’m phrasing this badly ).
Poor Hans - he’s frankly terrifying to look at but so earnest.
I was just about to comment the same thing. These two chapters were a nice, longer interlude. Episodical, but also didn’t feel like they were completely irrelevant to the main plot, because of all the musings about the importance of time for humans, and how it was all part of Isami trying to wrap his mind around the fact that Saya is immortal.
Idk if I like her new outfit. Feels like too much light color or something.
That was a nice chapter! I liked that it had the contemplative mood but without being the typical ‘we meet an android then have a sad flashback’ format.
Yeah. RIP Hans.
I appreciated that we got a map (of sorts) so that we can stay oriented. Doesn’t look like they’re all that far from Usa’s position, if only they can get the blocked gate open.
And so, we’re off to another mysterious shelter that reacts to Saya’s presence.
I fear the same. We got a lot of intriguing open endings here. The thing that’s not a real 断罪者, the other survivors who suddenly turned hostile, the hints that the organization that built the research facilities that react to Saya’s presence were religious extremists and treated mutated people like demons. So much going on all of a sudden, so few pages left until the end of the volume.
As expected, we’ve hit a wall just as things were getting intriguing. I liked the character dynamics here, what with the new people unable to trust Saya but still happy to find more mutated survivors. I hope the next volume is not so far off that I’ll have forgotten who everyone is by the time we get it.
