Ok i can see a skull on the last page but why its there?

 

[Notal]

@APlusPeace It's probably a reference to a painting "The Ambassadors" by Hans Holbein. The same skull can be seen from a certain perspective there. The chapter's title also seems to suggest that.

Here it is.

I knew about this painting. But still dont get the reason behind the reference. Does that mean something, like close death and etc? Maybe author just saying that skull is cool, isn't it? But thanks for helping)

@APlusPeace well with Niimi having died and this being a recollection of the events that occurred, I think it is meant to be seen as a death flag.

I didn’t expect Holbein’s skull to appear in any Manga, ever.
This Manga is such masterpiece.
