btw there was a CD with this volume which had Kenji's song in it, if anyone knows where I can download it, it'll be much appreciated.

I wonder who it was ... However I Don't think it was that Sadikyo kid anymore, he wouldn't have been shocked if it was. I do have a guess as to who it is, due to something that struck me as odd earlier on, but won't say that right now ... Anyways surprised that Kanna let that detective in on it all, and that the detective believed her story.

Tbh, I was hoping Kenji might survive. But, now I pray that he stays dead. If he survives that it would the greatest asspull of the 21st century.
It's not Sadakiyo, it was pretty much known a long time ago. I have a bad hunch who 'Friend' might me.
And thanx a lot Mr. Urasawa for your usual cockteasing.

I haven't been blue balled this badly in a hot minute man. Also I unironically think the song is pretty great. Sounds exactly what I imagine the OST to this series would sound like.

Edit: Revisited this chapter. Shit's got me emotional.

That song fucking spoiled me the manga, i'm sooooooo mad. If you see a live action performance of this song on Youtube, DON'T WATCH IT!

I went to youtube to search for it and among the results was a live action video. I thought that it was played at a concert or something so i watched it for a while but then noticed the description that said
So now i know that


Oh for fuck's sake.
The song is nice though.

It wasn't that sad lmao, but that manga is absolutely amazing. The tension to know who the person is

I also have my theory that person could be Fukubei, would be a goood plot twist, the person said Friend could float ? and the haircut seems similar ?

Bro what did Kenji and his friends do to make friend so angry that he would want to portray them as the next Osama Bin Laden? Like goddamn, these guys treated everyone well growing up. Idk why they had to experience something like this.

Although other people seem able to guess the identity of the "Friend" at this point (not that dumb shit like Donkey faking his own death or whatever), I'm utterly lost assuming it's not Sadakiyo (and I seriously hope it's not him). Of course there's the "Ghost" incident which still needs to be explained and will undoubtedly become extremely important in "Hindsight". But determining what that might have been is beyond meat this stage. Of course, assuming it's a solvable (or at least guessable) mystery without a last minute culprit never previously mentioned. At this point I'd accept anyone named before this point.

the story continued under the impression that the men honored in the beginning of the story were our protags which make these twists all the more enjoyable. im guessing the good guys are never properly acknowledged and kanna will have to mend their reputation. cant believe the story is just beginning, still nearly 200 chapters left x_x
