Ahaha drat I didn't even pick up on the significance of Yu actually mentioning the guide over the phone. It definitely has to be either Headon or someone in wing tree.

Does this mean coffee dude has been a good guy this whole time? Or maybe he's just not aligned with Zahard.


I think it's the second. One thing I like is that there doesn't really seem to be any good or bad dichotomy in this series. Just different political factions with their own motivations and stuff. We haven't been told much of anything about tower politics yet though, which kinda sucks.

Actually, if you read some of the extra written stuff by the author that's been translated, quite a bit of politics and background is out. I think it's definitely less interesting than if you just read the comic without that info though, so look for it at your own risk.

Well at least its hinted at some direction the series is going, largely with the overthrow of Zahard or something similar. I'm not surprised people want to replace him. Headon is a floor guardian right, not a ranker? I wonder how the floor guardians play into this

Well. first he was taught kindness. now he learned pain. What wonderful emotion shall Baam learn next :downs:

For those wondering about a break, I'd imagine it closer to Noblesse than Trace. Noblesse was originally only a month break I think that they ended up cutting down to 2 weeks. Likely just some time off to have a break and get the next part of the story in order.

Yeah Headon is the 1st floor guardian. He seems pretty special among the guardians though, since he can travel to other floors and he's the one that chooses the regulars.

This comic is amazing. Yeah the author seems to not be too sure about where to take some the story, but it doesn't matter because the world and characters are extremely interesting. Someone should make a thread about this over at BSS. More people should read this!
really? I think the story outschemes Death Note or just about any other comic I've read. I'm not convinced that the blue haired kid was fooled, and if he was I'm giddy to see what he does when he finds out. Every other [legit] climber is laughably naive in comparison.

Just so no one is disappointed: this isn't a real new chapter.

The author just answers a few questions, and then gives a tiny preview of Part 2.

Despite that, it's pretty great.

The raw is in fact out, along with a short summary for those who don't want to wait to get an idea of what's going on:

After a 5 year timeskip, Yuri goes to Jeina Lefelista Zahad's house(not sure about the spelling), meets Kun Mascheni? Zahad along the way. Yuri asks Lefelista Zahad to find Baam in return for bringing her an item she wants. After Yuri leaves, Lefelista Zahad puts on an evil grin and says that the boring days are over, and Zahad's prince will come...

You know, I kinda like the author.

When asked by someone with the username KoonAgeroAgnis about who his favourite character was, he responded by saying he hated Koon the most. And when people asked him about himself, he just posted a screenshot of someone calling him a genius and zoomed in on it.

Anyway. Prince of Zahard, eh? At this point all leads point to it being Baam.

Which is exactly why I think it might not be Baam.

The blond guy in the trash heap was the one Yuri sent out to look for Baam, I think. He is obviously not Baam himself.

I'm pretty sure he's implied to be the Prince of Zahard.

That's him wearing the ring in the first half of the preview, compare jacket sleeves. Baam actually makes a 1-panel appearance in the preview, his hair's all long again.

I'm hoping that 1) that's Baam and 2) Baam will turn around, smile, say hello, and politely ask if the two of them can leave each other alone. Nothing says the irregulars have to defeat the others to move on or that only a certain number can progress, just that they need to survive until the time limit. I'm betting the test proctors are going for an 'exact words' trick here.

And 'generic shounen protag'? What, like Baam was? :v:

I don't think that's a picture of outside. In one of the earliest chapters you see princess Yuri running down stairs to get to the first floor, and if each floor is the size of a continent, that's probably just a flying city in the 20th floor.

This is also my opinion. I meant "everything we see in that picture is contained within the twentieth floor."

e: Oh, now that I look at it again, I see that my original perspective was off: it's a big floating island coming to a point, not a big tower stretching down to a point. :downs:

I think we're definitely being led to believe that the tower is a single physical entity with a literal top and bottom, its just that the scale of it is massive. I wish we could get more details about it's nature, and not just the political organization of it.

I personally tend to think of the tower as Sigal from planescape rolled out flat. Each floor is a dimension onto itself with doors leading up and down. The tower has no real "Outside" Just up, and down.

There is an outside to the tower though. It's where most irregulars come from and where Zahard came from.
