So just something to note about the tribe names in this series if you haven't noticed yet. They're based on the japanese names for their corresponding animals, but written backwards

Rato = Tora = Tiger
Gisau = Usagi = Rabbit
Siu = Ushi = Cow/bull
Zune = Nezu = Mouse
Lusa = Saru = Monkey(?)

I'm more curious about why there's a character called deodorant tbh

I'm a sucker for dragons. Especially when Yagi can make them look so badass.

 

[breizh]

Is that boy sangoku ?

 

[dmr11]

Is that the boy on the volume 8 cover?

 

[bobbyboi]

@dmr11

Yes, it is.

 

[SomeGuy1]

The innkeeper is cute. 10/10 would flirt, then get torn apart.

@bobbyboi
More than just animals, they seem to be specifically based on the Eastern Zodiac. There's probably a dragon tribe showing up soon.

 

[riftsalad]

takehisa? is that you?

 

[RC1138Boss]

Thanks for the info @bobbyboi.

Seems like the new photon carrier they are looking for is this kid.

 

[aigomorla]

those guys look like the yoma from claymore.

@riftsalad we need Kitano!

 

[tettra]

@bai imagine if there's a legendary fearsome guardian named Kitano, or maybe Notaki, on this universe.

 

[Vergift]

Don't tell me Rato is an anagram from Tora? Their design similar to tiger...

 

[Betony]

Didn't expect the Siu to be outclassed in terms of strength.
Humans seem more and more underwhelming. I guess sheer numbers and greed are the main factors contributing to their apparent cultural dominance.

 

[ligerhero]

This manga is light and fun. The only negative is that I'm starting to notice how every faction has their own numbered squad of elite badasses or freaks.

11 photon carrier survivors
9 Elite "nines" squad
6 Ariadne knights
4 Al-mi'raj
and Leanna stuck in a pear tree

Not only these are Chinese zodiac animals, dragons are said to be the guardians of the east, and tigers the guardians of the west. They are opposites, and in a way natural enemies.
