Notes:
(1) So, this second half touches very little on the major events bubbling offstage, and focuses exclusively on using plot elements to drive a rift between Kaya and Jin.
- We get some blatant fridging, for example—IYKYK.
- It's your classic "Deathly Hallows" or "Game of Thrones" type epic adventure trope: team is inseparable, team splits up, team (hopefully) reunites.

Notes:
(1) So, the most interesting thing about this so far has been its narrative structure.
- Major stuff is happening, but it's all just bubbling in the background—to do with villains and ancillary characters.
- Conversely, the main story is essentially a side quest: the heroes set themselves the task of liberating a slave mine. Morality aside, it's essentially optional.

Notes:
(1) I don't know when I'll have the chance to bring this up, so I may as well say it now: I wish these "Kaya" trades included the cover art for each issue.
- I understand that omitting them is probably so the story reads more like a novel, with issues more like chapters instead of individual books.
- But at least provide a cover gallery as part of the bonus material.
