Much love for Izutsumi... she's such a wild card of a character and I love that she was given more depth in this volume. Then there's Kabru and Mithrun, dynamic duo of my heart... In general, this volume ramps up the intrigue and foreboding, particularly a few of the panels which quite possibly gave me nightmares. The feeling of "desire" is manipulated by demons and calls to question the place of "monsters" in this world, especially when Laios fantasizes their essential domestication, in tandem with inevitable issues like poverty that arise as he struggles to rule the dungeon in his dreamscape. I love how Kui draws the winged lion also, with such a look of innocence that it draws even Laios in.
