Let's pretend this post happened earlier.

Anyway! More actions builds up to a cliffhanger promising ... something!!!!



Pretty pretty Fam and Gisey illustration.



Tatiana's badassery does not fail to make me swoon.



And she uses some badass decoy tactics to FUCK THE GUILD UP.



Henrick is my husband.



/fans self some more!!



I can't with all this Wisla family amazing.






As the battle starts to ravage the Guild base, Lavie finds a way to sneak out, AND THEN...!



SO CUTE.



Al is about to get INFODROPPED UPON as a cliffhanger.





SO. Interesting chapter. ESPECIALLY THAT END FOR MANY ... REASONS.

The chapter itself is amazing. As someone who was a little unhappy with how they handled Tatiana's dere in the first series, but absolutely loved her to death in the sequel, I think the manga is doing a good job of bridging the two in a way where the dere part isn't nearly as :S for me, since I like it since it's also mixing in the part of Tatiana that makes me love her so freaking much. Not just a personality thing for her, either, but a great bridge to see how she eventually becomes captain of the Silvius soon after.

I do wonder how they're going to end the ~romance~ end of things, since the Lavie and Claus reunion was adorable and they've already hinted about things in other ways (ala the whole Claus saying her name instead). Not to mention Fam's ending and the entire fact that Tatiana and Claus never interacted in it. :( But yes, we shall see!

DAT ENDING ... So next chapter we are going to get a fun times info dump about the Earth Guild and 600 years ago and I HOPE IT'S CHOCK FULL OF INFO AND GOOD THINGS AND ALSO THINGS THAT LEAK INTO FAM'S BACKSTORY WITH ADES.

Of course nobody is 100% if "the exciting conclusion" at the end means conclusion of the battle or ........ conclusion of the manga.

If it's conclusion of the manga.

I am going to need.

So much cream.

For my butt.

Because I'm going to be so buttfurious if it end ends.

I WANTED MY DIO BACKSTORY FINALLY. I WANTED MORE EARTH INFO. If it ends next chapter, DOES THAT MEAN CLAUS IS GOING TO GET HIS INJURY THAT LEAVES HIM PARALYZED IN FAM?! There is so much that can happen if they're wrapping this up and. I just hope they don't shove it all into one last chapter unless it's a LONG ASS CHAPTER THAT ISN'T RUSHED.

So I guess we'll see soon what happens! I personally hope conclusion means conclusion to the arc and they move onto a new character arc or something. '-'a Because I would love more bridging manga! (DIO FOR ONE yes I have biases. But also Sophia and Vincent and the settling of the UKoAD on Earth, more Al stuff, THERE IS SO MUCH THAT CAN BE DONE) But sob I have a feeling it's ending and I'm saaaaaaaaad I'll cry if it's true.
