Status Updates From WIND BREAKER, Vol. 9

i’m already having a bit more appreciation for this arc in seeing the contrast between this group’s ethos of “erasure of the individual to serve the greater whole” vs furin and roppo ichiza’s focus on community. it’s a different kind of contrast we’ve seen before with shishitoren and keel, and i’m interested to see if it sticks the landing

oh we’ve got character blurbs now that’s how you know it’s getting serious
really though we’re about to enter an arc that i didn’t really enjoy too much in the anime so hopefully reading it with fresh eyes with give me a new appreciation for it!! and if not, then at least after this i’ll be in all new non-anime territory

Resuming the wbk grind so I can catch up and read the summer break arc while on summer break😌😌
