<i> "Little wolf, you have all those things. But they are safe within you, where no one can take them. Sometimes my darling... its better to hide your teeth" ....But hiding was never easy for me </i>
A shorter volume, but the plot is finally becoming clearer! The art continues to be absolutely mesmerizing, and the story does not hold back. The politics and alliances are always shifting, but a thread is beginning to appear. We also learned more about the monster inside of Maika, giving (him/them?) much more depth.
One of m favorite aspects of the comic is when Maika is talking to another person (her mom, Tuya) while the present story continues to move forward in the panel. What a great way to show us more about Maika.
Kippa and Ren continue to be the best sidekicks anyone could ask for!
