Great title.
The art style is distinctive, with its own unique charm. Occasionally, there are minor issues with anatomy (for instance, in the scene where the seer reports to the king; the sorceress in the habit at the table has unnaturally large hands in one frame).
The story is full of drama, and the characters are well-developed, which makes me even more anxious about the upcoming chapters. I have a gut feeling that Titi will be murdered (though probably not Julian), and this will serve as the catalyst for Diana’s dark, alternate personality to awaken.
It’s a classic case of a self-fulfilling prophecy – if the seer had heeded her king’s orders and stopped pursuing them, Diana likely wouldn’t have awakened or sought revenge on the king. Why him? Well, I’d bet anything that he’ll be directly blamed (order) for Titi’s death, with the sorceresses manipulating the situation to channel Diana’s despair in a way that aligns with their agenda. If I remember correctly, there’s a glimpse of the future where Diana looks upon a burning city, accompanied by figures who resemble the sorceresses (at least one of them).
Narratively, this might be a strong move, but I’d prefer it if, despite the odds, Titi, Julian, and Diana found happiness in the end.
By the way, am I the only one who thinks the king’s royal guard design reminds them of Berserk?
