I hope that if I sketch Asuma everyday, I'll be able to make decent fanart by the time the anime comes out 🖌💪

Big fan of how Gonzo, Hikaru, and Asuma all have Daemon pairs that fit the Kagemori clan's black + white / yin + yang aesthetic
...and then there's Jin with his fuckass fish (I love you Ai and Makoto 🐟❤️)

Two brushes with death in the span of a week - you're doing great, Asuma! 🤦

Dera finally comes face to face with his deadbeat dad. He better have some good intel on the twins' parents after all this build up. Or at least a good excuse for ditching poor Ken

Y'know, it's rare to see moments like this where the Kagemoris actually act like a family. There always seems to be some underlying tension or distance in their interactions with each other. Asuma teasing his father is cute though ☺️

Arakawa's keeping me well fed with all the Asuma pics this chapter 🙏 This one in particular is great because it really captures the elegance of both him and his daemon(s). Can't wait to see more of Asagiri 🦋

Asuma...💔
At first I was disappointed that Ivan stole his opportunity to take revenge on his uncle after he had worked so hard for it, but Gonzo is probably right saying this. Still, the lose of his mother must have been devastating for him 😢

Gonzo's an interesting character, he's so hard to figure out. During the flashback to when he meets Iori in chapter 29, I honestly couldn't tell if he truly felt sympathy for her, or saw her as a useful pawn like the part-timers he invited into the clan

Part of me feels bad for Akio since it's only a matter of time before his mom screws him over big time. But then he goes and says psychotic shit like this and it's like...Oh yeah, this guy was about to kill a teenage girl with a crowbar 'cause mommy issues 🙃

I love when Arakawa writes disturbing shit like this. The implications of this are fucking insane. I have so many questions!! I wonder what a modern Daemon pair will look like? How will these Daemons born from humanity differ from their ancient counterparts?

The way her eyes change from soft and kind to sharp and cruel, reminds me so much of Kenshin

When we first met Akio's mother in chapter 30, I wasn't sure if she was even human because of how her eyes suddenly changed. Now I'm sure it's just an artistic decision possibly meant to highlight her duplicitous nature

Hana, you really should lol. I wonder what people like Hana and Dera get out of staying involved with Higashi Village. They don't align with the village's goals at all, but they're still stuck with the roles that they've inherited from their parents

Lmaooo it's the same girl who was working at the DIY store a few volumes back. Doesn't look like the fast food industry's treating her any better 💀

In this chapter, the status of Dera's daemon pair is finally revealed. It doesn't come as a surprise to me that they were killed given the hints in previous chapters, but it's still a sad thing to learn. Poor Dera...he's still not over their deaths
