Can't get used to this narrator... We now know this girl is alive, which is nice. I guess you need to keep your audience engaged to the story and this part can be rough without someone spelling out the plot.
To me, this chapter is still the peak moment of the manga, too bad that the author doesn't plan to work on the journey of these people even though they are put on the cover of vol 5, welp.
Okay did Badeni tattooed every one of them himself? Didn't know he was good with ink like that. Really makes you wonder if there was a page 0 where he just used the poor guy as practice skin.
