Nah, Murata's has always lagged years behind (literally years). It's nowhere close to catching up. We'd be lucky if he did the final Garou fight by the end of 2020, and the webcomic was there back in 2016.
Really digging the character development of Sweet Mask here, but considering the actions of the version from Murata's work (he slaughtered those thralls of Hime), it seems to me like the two personality iterations of Sweet Mask are conflicting.
@Carcer How is it conflicting? He was about to abandon these people to their fates so he could go all out without witnesses. Sacrificing the thralls to settle the situation isn't really any different. As you said, the point here is character development, so his deciding to go all out before more casualties occur is that very development, so that can't really be conflicting either.
@Glomoro After re-reading what he says near the end and what he does afterward, I see it now. Didn't quite hit me that he was prepared to let the onlookers perish just so he could keep his monstrous form under wraps.
