- Volume / edition
- 15 (Japanese singles) / Book 8 (English 2-in-1)
Available editions and access vary by country. Check the publisher listing before buying.
What overlaps or changes?
Read chapter 101 from its beginning even if some scenes feel familiar. Chapter numbers are a safer bookmark than volume numbers because the Japanese singles and English collected editions use different numbering.
Should you start from chapter 1?
Continue at 101 for the next stage of Thorfinn’s journey. A chapter 1 restart is optional. Check the edition before purchasing: English Book 8 and Japanese volume 8 are not the same section of the story.
