I have populated the schedule with the expectation there will be an odd number of chapters. This gives us a single chapter to read the first week to ease back into the series before returning to double-chapter weeks.
On the off-chance that we have an even number of chapters, which schedule would you like?
Six weeks: Two chapters per week.
Seven weeks: One chapter for the first and last weeks and two for the other weeks.
If we actually start the day after the volume comes out I will probably wait a few days to a week to start. Amazon’s prices are weirdly inflated until a few days after release.
Ah, back to Shadow House, where I always have to look up a lot of kanji
Story comments (Ch. 198 and 199)
I know he was given a mission from birth, but that doesn’t seem like enough to turn a kid into a supervillain! I’m going to say it’s not 100% the fault of the folks that raised him. Sometimes someone just grows up into a bad person.
Also, it’s funny that he criticized his father for being too good. Alfred didn’t want to send his kid off to die, but he sure sent other people’s kids off to die
Two. I’ll fix that. Thanks for mentioning it! (I had a browser crash a bit back that wiped out my stored template information, and I must have made an error when rebuilding it.)
Well, everything isn’t as doomed as it looked like. It is pretty funny how her first ally in this new era is Douglas. Lou at least got some nice tatooes out of her traumatic experience. I didn’t really understand why thomas lost his memory though, is it something that happened with Edward earlier that I forgot? I was too lazy to read back on it lol
Edward exposed Thomas’ machinations and the big four cut his arm off. I thought he was dead, honestly.
Not sure I agree with Kate drawing a parallel between him and Douglas though. Thomas has done way worse stuff.
Barbara seemed pretty devastated when it all went down, but Barbie got done in by the coffee, so I guess she’ll get brainwashed too. Otherwise I would think she might join the resistance too.
Wow. Get wrecked Edward and friends. And they’re going to where the Mirrors Family are based. I wonder if there will be contact between them.
Also, here we learn that Thomas was broken out of jail. That seems likely to be another one or Anthony’s plans. I don’t see what he gets from that other than pinning more stuff on Edward. But I know I won’t be able to see the 4D chess that guy’s playing at this point
I agree. I’m not sure how though. I doubt the story will have a time skip or anything that lets him make it back through good performance. He’ll probably make contact with Mirror Family. Maybe that’s how he’ll find out about Anthony.
