Hehe, I was right about Lucas being able to control people :^]

I wonder what will happen to Lucas and Zoe past the flowering, sounds like the powerups they got are only temporary?

I used to really dislike Coura, but somehow, after seeing her take on Lukas's wounds, I kinda want her to be redeemed through her affection for Lucas. I don't think she deserves it, but I'd like to see it nontheless.

This shit so goddamn cool!!!
Also I fear for how long Zoe has to sleep after this spending of Time and Power, I hope it's not too bad... :worry:
If she's borrowing "time" instead of her own future power. Maybe the drawback would be her not being able to use her powers at all for some "time" in return. At the very least I feel like it probably won't make her sleep again since she's no longer interacting with her future in the same way.

"When I'm together with mother, I don't like myself" Zoe 😭 I will never forgive the Pope for this.
I'm suddenly reminded how for the first two volumes, Zoe barely spoke and mostly just stared in the middle distance. She always looked so closed off, and she only started to change when she went to that festival in the mirror country with Lucas.
That entire middle section is causing me emotional damage :qq:. Especially page 24. Actually, p. 29-30 might be even worse,"I'm not a normal child, am I?" felt like getting hit by a truck.

I haven't even mentioned all the other things that happened in the chapter. Like how scary Lucas's power is, or how satisfying the fight at the end is. I feel like I say this every time, but man what a chapter. I'm gonna pace around my room a bit, I need time to process this.

Precognition -> Prediction
Why be married to one or the other? Isn't it best to use the word based on context and grammar. A person with precognition makes predictions. They're not mutually exclusive terms.

Anyway thanks for the chapter.

This manga is so fucking good. Really liked the part where Zoe grew older in her cell with the mom, felt like a double flowering for her not just her powers!

Also cant believe i felt bad for Coura omfg!

Lucas's reactiona to get everyone out but still wanting to kill Akira was so based lol. Even the fuckin Pope actually pulled through with a change of heart.

I think the change to prediction makes sense, since theres chances of making the wrong one, while precog makes things set in stone.

Thanks for the chapter!

Glad we finally got Ch 26 and the Volume 8 Extras out!

Before I begin my usual review, I'd like to give a shoutout on behalf of Wizard Scans to our supporters: we understood your frustrations and anxiety. For releases to have suddenly sped up, but then momentum seemed to have stalled again without rhyme or reason.

Truth is for the past month and a half, practically all members of our team have been faced with one dilemma or another. Myself, I suffered not only from the flu, but also from lower back sprain that resulted from sneezing induced by said flu. (Yes, that's actually a thing. In fact, sneezing and coughing inflicted the worse internal damage unto my back for a time)

Of course, such a confluence of setbacks had been just as miserable for us. We were so psyched to get our works out, and then this happened. Not like any of us wanted this to happen... but we decided our real life wellbeing had to come first, it wouldn't do for it all to collapse. Not a good idea if anyone forces themselves to work and worsens their condition.

Most of our blockers have now been resolved and most remaining material are works-in-progress, so to our fans who remain steadfast in our support, thank you so much! To reward your patience, we decided to try our hands on a full SFX translation and redraw as a special one-time treat to celebrate the climax of this arc! Hope you all enjoy this release and our future ones too!

---

Onto the review. On first read, Lucas' Flowering more or less falls within range of my expectations, but the extra tree as his "instrument" and the extravagant soundwaves of light is such a spectacle!

What's more, we got a double Flowering with Zoe going back into the fray too! Ah, the classic way to fight against those with predictions - outspeeding.

It's nice to see the Pope actually struggle with his usual rational side, allowing Zoe to follow her heart against his better judgment and all.

Thank goodness we have Coura to treat Lucas, and I knew Meryl will return to help at some point (but not in the manner I imagined :( ). That final attack on Akira is just everyone piling their grudges on him (including the Mirror)

All in all, there's not too much to express about this chapter that hadn't already been expressed: just a lot of good art, amazing choreography, and a smorgasbord of delicious content of over 3 average-weeklys that's well worth a monthly wait!

In terms of superpowers, we know both concepts can exist yeah. But consistency of terms makes concepts and events easier to follow, and for that specific term in question our chosen word was deemed as the best one.

i feel like it's worth splitting hairs over - precognition has the inherent implication that it's an absolute, 'here's a vision of the future' type power. prediction is just that, either more or less likely to happen - but able to be subverted narratively, which makes for a better story.

Suddenly realised that in a way this has already been set up a few chapters prior.
