Ogata’s Tragic Backstory Part 2: Electric Boogaloo!! I’m always a weird mix of sad and terrified when his story is revealed. Goes to show neglect can really mess a person up for the rest of their life. I sometimes wonder how many walls he has built up in his mind and if he’ll ever let himself experience his emotions.

I really like the way all the different paths weave together, the little details that unite it all. I feel like I learn a lot about narrative structure while I’m reading this, alongside the fun historical elements, and on top of that this action story that’s also full of levity! It’s a really wonderfully composed series. The wintery scenes were also super cool to look at in this volume, the density of snow is hard to capture in art but it came across so well.

這集感覺作者吸的LSD藥效退了點
不過太久沒看了,連角色名字都有點忘記Orz
等累積多一點再來重看好了

Good stuff! Always a great blend of serious, touching, camp, and horrifically violent.
