Yeah, not so many dead bodies around them in the original…

Enjoyable chapters so far this volume. Enjoyed the little flashback window showing some of ojisan’s fellow escapees. Not sure what to make of the little bunny page at the end of the chapter!

But if they kidnap kids like that, I wonder what the situation was with the old man where they were all lying on the ground in his memories. Or maybe that was just a metaphor, and they got taken as well.

That was a crazy end to the chapter, like she jumped into the movie Shrek or something. Nearly the end of the week, so I couldn’t resist jumping ahead and reading next week’s chapter too…

> Very interesting chapter. I wonder what the point of the idyllic setting is? I thought it was for the kids to enjoy themselves, since stressed out kids don’t taste as good, but that went out the window when the hunt aspect was introduced. Maybe it’s so the hunters can roleplay like they’re hunting in a human village. That would be messed up.

Kinda looks like “Lewis” with extra steps. Viz translation went with “Leuvis”.
