Winter Fatigue

Posted by Nomad Soul on Dec 6, 2009 in Release(s)

We were supposed to release new chapters of Ressentiment and The Music of Marie today, but, well, stuff happened. So, you only get three releases instead. First, we have an absolutely insane chapter of Soil that eclipses everything before it in terms of craziness. Somewhere along the way Kaneko must have thought, “Screw this shit! I’m just gonna draw whatever I feel like.” The result is a maddening tangle of plot threads that seem unrelated at first but then quickly intertwine and spiral out of control until the whole narrative frame seems to break down and give way to chaos and destruction, like it did in this chapter. Yet you can’t help but think there’s a method in the madness, a connection between everything that happened in the story so far that will eventually emerge as we continue the journey into Soil’s heart of darkness.

Compared to Soil, All-Rounder Meguru must look like the most mundane thing in the world, especially since the new chapter shifts the focus from Meguru the fighter to Meguru the teenager. But don’t worry, he’ll be back in fighting mode soon enough.

The Hour of the Mice is nearing the end of the 3rd volume which means Maki and Kiriko’s happy days will soon be over. How far will Mei go to get Maki back, and will Nagi have to pay the ultimate price? Oh the drama, it tugs the heart strings…

    Many thanks as usual.

    BTW, you spelled ‘weight’ wrong in the second panel on page 115 of Meguru, though I have no idea if this was intentional or not given the character’s dialect.

    @PitylessEnvy: It’s intentional. You don’t think something like that would slip through our QC, do you? ;)

    Yeah, I found it a bit odd considering Kotonoha NEVER makes errors.
