monstress is always a hit for me. this volume was a marked shift from it’s predecessor (which i do recommend rereading before jumping into this) in terms of plot and narrative drive, but it has definitely put more momentum in plot progression than the past few volumes. i’m glad to see that majorie is delving back into some of the core plotlines and finding ways to finally tie them together with the more…. odd ones? i’m not sure how to begin to describe the zinn of it all but he was perfect as always. 

maikatuya forever. however if maika wants to get with the blue fish girl i won’t be mad.
