that's the stone eater at the end, it's time for the sadomaso four eyes to make his appearance.

also to add some perspective, besides the magazine cover, Iruma appeared in the last cover of WS Champion, while Ichi the Witch pulled it in WS Jump, so Iruma boys and Osamu sensei are eating good right now.

I find that I like this spinoff a lot because I have the main manga to compare it to, so there's the excitement of "how will Hiroja spin [canon thing] into the Mafia AU?" than I have the excitement of what new thing comes up next.

So my hot take is that this spinoff isn't any better than the main manga, it's only as good as it is, because it's building off what the main manga establishes, like the personalities of the characters, or the factions and such.

Agreed 100%. This spinoff is excellent, without a doubt, because Hiroja-sensei is doing an outstanding job so far. That said, I believe most of us enjoy this even more because we can compare it to the OG Iruma (which is also excellent in its own way, as Nishi-sensei has demonstrated enough times she can make a intricate and interesting story, while developing a huge amount of side characters.)

So yes, both manga are excellent in their different ways.

Nice to see Robin, Marbas, and Balam again. That Waka is Kiriwo, without a doubt, lol. Excited to see the Six Fingers again.

Am I the only one who is at awe every chapter because of Hiroja-sensei's skills? He draws so many dynamic poses, which I think it's quite uncommon for a mangaka. Having this series being a monthly surely was an excellent choice, based on its top-notch quality.

Thanks for the TL as always!

I find myself enjoying this AU more and more than the original, and I feel like it mostly comes down to the mangaka being bolder and more aggressive with the cast, pushing certain character traits to the front and making the cast shine more.
