"To protect the world from evil and create a peaceful world where you will never be frightened, I will fight."
Once the story kicked off in volume 1, things really kicked off. Now it feels a bit like we're flying through plot points fast and furious, and it felt at times like the translation was a bit off in places which made it harder to follow. The suit color evidently plays a role in several places of this story, but until it was pointed out explicitly, I didn't realize the suit changed color (it being a black and white medium, and me being unfamiliar with the source material).
Loved the art though! Very striking!
