I like how there's a natural flow and some reasoning behind all that has happen. I especially love how Laios brought Chilchuck along to investigate the waters knowing Mermaids are near by and only Chils' sensitive ears can hear the song first before Laios can. Cheeky fcker.
Despite this 1 battle going for waaay too long with little development I respect Murata's passion to draw some sicks pages. That madman will not settle for less that amazing.
