wow....another one bites the dust....so that's what, 10 knights left?
"Forged in darkness with wheat harvested from Hell's half acre. Baked by Beelzabub; slathered with mayonnaise beaten from the evil eggs of dark chickens, force-fed to dogs by the hands of a one-eyed madman. Cheese boiled from the rancid utters of fanged cows. Layered with 666 separate meats from an animal which has maggots for blood."

Had a real bad feeling going into this chapter and, unfortunately, it played out almost exactly as I thought it would. I was actually hoping that the chapter would end short while the mood was still light.

Nice move, Animus. They were completely unprepared for the mini-golem swarm.

The number of knights are down to 9: Cat, Crow, Horse/Unicorn, Lizard, Mantis, Owl, Rooster, Snake, Tortoise.
Deceased: Dog, Mouse, Swordfish

Damn, poor Tarou, to see him go out like that, that's really depressing, and it sucks that he dies right when he starts to become brave, looks like we're down to 9 knights now.

This manga is... refreshing. No Deus Ex Machina, no miraculous healing, no nothing. You get hit, you die, simple as that. No foreshadowing or death flags either. It makes it both more realistic and more tragic that way; you realize just how vulnerable everyone there is. Poor Tarou indeed.
"Though mountains crack, and ice will thaw

Though walls will fall, to tooth and claw

Though stars will fade, and shadow spread

On the heights we stood, with iron red.


And as they died, they killed the dead.

No there are some death flags .. like they focused on "youth" and confession in the beginning.
Same goes for the death Shinonome Hangetsu's death - the movie ticket was a death flag.
But dammit .... this manga suddenly punches you with a sad chapter T_T
RIP Kusakabe, I loved aragami.
I don't know why people write that they are approachable persons,
if you were you wouldn't be on MAL.

Yeah Kusakabe receive so many death flags from the beginning of the chapters. Kinda saw that one coming, but still pretty sad... especially since she only said "I know"

As cold as it sounded coming from Kir, it's true. Kusakabe and Lance died for nothing.

Frankly, he was annoying, and wasn't fleshed out until now, so it was expected and...good that it happened.
