With how things are going, we're going to be doing simultaneous Blogspot and Mangadex releases for Moonlight Mile, unless for whatever reason Mangadex makes us stop. So for the time being this is what we're doing.
This chapter has some beautiful looking panels. Ohtagaki's art is really starting to ramp up. It's not quite his peak (early to mid 2010s before his tendonitis) but we've moved beyond the early style he had in prior works during his tenure with Kodansha such as "Ippei" and "Kazuo". Page 16 in particular just hits. I'm reading each chapter for the first time as we translate it, though I do know where the story goes and some plot details from later arcs. Sawamura is someone totally new to me, apparently the anime kind of did this character dirty and when adapting the manga, they skipped an entire arc from the manga focused around him during the adaptation process, which is a shame. I haven't seen the anime, but so far Sawamura seems interesting, it'll be fun learning more about him, as well as seeing the return of a character from the first volume. I like this style of going through different evets Gorou and Lostman are involved in, and we're seeing them from the POV of other characters. Chapter 2 did this Ryoko Ikeuchi, chapter 3 did this with Thomas and Douglas, chapter 4 did this with Moera, chapter 5 did this with Ali, chapter 6 did this with Tanya, chapter 7 with Steve, the Drifting arc did this with Joseph and now we're doing this with Sawamura. I also love that we're getting into more serialized story telling with arcs now.
