Wow. This comic just keeps getting better & better. Good premise & I've been enjoying the characters and humor, but this issue felt like a step up to me. Thought the author might be content to run in place with the above premise, but I really like the well-written parallel backstories & emotional complexity here. And not only the emotion, the author even managed to include a hook in this issue (Ikeman guy re-appearing). Very impressed with this comic right now. Hope it continues to progress. Thank you for translating!
