I liked how Nausicaa and Asbel end up with the Dorok for a while. It was a good way to get to know a new faction in the story. It feels as if alliances are already starting to shift.
That got me wondering: was there any reason given for the war in the story up to this point? I don’t remember any, but maybe I missed it.
The storytelling is really getting on a roll, so it’s hard to stop reading at this point (or any other point soon, it looks like). At any given point there are enough unresolved subplots going on that I want to keep reading
I’m not sure. Maybe I’m seeing a little difference, but not that clear. It could also be printing differences. Or it might be that the art is a bit darker in this volume?
Talking about printing differences, I was looking up some things in my translated copy which uses much more contrasty black instead of brown and I do think the brown is nicer for the art even if it makes some things harder to make out. The black is a bit too harsh for me. My English edition also uses a pretty large font which is much easier to read but also messes up the balance between art and text a little bit in my opinion.
I guess my ideal edition would be a really big version with brown ink, maybe a little bit darker than what we have now
That’s a good point about printing differences. I think the set I have was printed in 2020? I can double check tonight though.
I think printing in different colors can be a lot of fun, but that they should be high enough contrast from the paper. Like brown and navy are fine. Tan/cafe is just a bit too light though.
