It’s really sad to see Guts this much hurt.

I just realized, when this manga isn’t about fights then it’s pure pain💔

I love chapters that has a lot of Guts x Casca content but this one hurts really bad that it’s making me sick. Casca and Guts really can’t catch a break. This is too much pain to endure from a manga series😭

THESE MONOLOGUES! I love being inside Guts’ head; he’s so human even tho he doesn’t show it often.

Honestly these first three chapter in this volume are an 11 out of 10 content; I love it.

When he started kissing her at the end of the pervious chapter I didn’t think it’d go this way. Poor Casca, she just keeps reliving her trauma over and over.

Guts can’t protect her even when she’s with him…

At this point it’s not only Guts who’s having existential crisis; I’m right here stressing too T-T

Not Puck roasting Isidro every chance he gets😂

Looks like Isidro is gonna be here for a while and I love that. Him and Puck are great for comedic relief.

And Finally Farnese joined! I was expecting this since she was first introduced. So excited to see more of her and Serpico as well.

I love that Guts has companions now, it might change something for him.

Oh I like the found family trope! It was the sweetest thing ever seeing Puck and Serpico cook and discuss the process; Farnese failing at basic tasks and harming Isidro by accident and him treating her as Casca’s babysitter as if he’s isn’t a child himself; Farnese playing with Casca; Guts actually training Isidro!

Also the fact that Puck gave Farnese and Serpico pet names (Farny and Serpy) how cute is that! T^T

I like all of these characters and I’m so excited to get more of them!
