Last time, my spoilered comments may have lit some concern in the audience. I can tell you that I find extremely little involved with the old characters to be bad. Thereby, any problems I have with this volume have almost entirely to do with newly-introduced characters. By the way, be ready for some typos, scanlators' shame, that I've let stand without correction.
Some pages happen to be missing from the volume, thanks to our oh-so-dearest friends, Chaotic Scans. It would be most appreciated if our SEAnon friends could come to the rescue once again...
I mentioned this earlier under a spoiler, but: >Saike (lit. Psyche) >Will I rather doubt it's just a coincidence. Especially when Taro Myojin's name is a small hint he's going to be the subarc boss.
On my first pass, I laughed my ass off at how galled Saike is by this nut, and how negative-number little Will gives a shit about that. Absolutely gut-busting.
You know, it occurred to me that there's a way Will can get what he wants here without having to murder anybody. All he has to do is split the record-dumping among many people. He could force the split on Kuroda's crew, but I'm sure there's also no small amount who'd be willing to pay money to accept a cut of the knowledge. But noooooo, he needs his crazy evil 6D Chess-by-mail scheme.
