am I missing something or does the story really start out of nowhere? If so, this is really shitty. The art isn't enough to keep me

oh, they show the beginning after, ok. Not sure I like how the story starts, I would prefer if that was chapter 0 instead of the beginning of chapter 1

For some reasons they put clips next to ak47's. The clips are probably for a mosin nagant

So, little fun facts about AKs. A lot of the feature of all the flavors of AKs, up to the modern stuff, remain unchanged since the AK-47. Everything using more or less the same efficient method of operation is a feature.
One, the safety selector. On real fully automatic AKs, the gun is safe while the selector is up, fully automatic in the middle, and single shot when it’s all the way down. I’ve been told that’s to prevent surprised soldiers hammering the selector down in a panic and dumping the magazine.
Two, the AK safety lever physically blocks the charging handle of an AK from being pulled all the way back. It can be pulled back halfway, which doesn’t chamber a round but does make the user feel stupid.
So on page 9, charging the gun and then moving the safety selector is probably impossible and at best weird. I guess the rifle could have initially been on full auto, the safety looks a little low. But… why? The auto fire selector is in the middle so it’s a conscious decision to, sparingly, use that feature. I didn’t go to Russian boot camp but I don’t think that’s how anyone would be trained.
It is common to chamber a rifle and then take the safety off to fire, just not on AKs.
I assume the artist and author aren’t intimately familiar with a military AK-74, which, fine. Not too many opportunities for that in Japan. But the artist clearly went to some effort to get the gun right. He did correctly illustrate how the gun is readied, with the left hand under the rifle to pull back the handle. And the details look spot on, at least as I know them.
Just kind of piqued my interest that some of it was correct and some of it was off.
Also, barring magic they and the child are all nearly deaf, they have terrible trigger discipline, and the girl doesn’t have the rifle braced on her shoulder on 11.
