The series is getting increasingly meta. I love the mindfuckery.

Also Anno Un ("Year one"?) has some sort of drawing-based superpower?

It looks like she's both a Negator and an artifact-bearer. And she might have some connection to the cycle judging from her name.

Anno Un also sounds like Unknown.

How the little Fuuko has grown. tongue Seriously, seeing that natural evolution is one of the most interesting parts of the series.

Ok, I might have a favorite character now.

Update: I most definitely have a favorite character now. The last panel alone was already an instant winner.

Just to be sure, Anno Un falls under Ambiguous Gender, right?

Now as a left-handed person, I have objections against the end of this chapter. tongue

Autumn going Kishibe Rohan on folk was amusing. Anno Un continues to be an enigma.

[up][up]No, he presents himself as pretty unambiguously male.

Not so unambiguous that Andy's willing to use a gendered pronoun even after meeting them in the flesh. From last chapter: They got that close to me without noticing 'em?

[up][up]Oh good, it's not just me who immediately thought of Heaven's Door. Granted, I was already primed by the mysterious manga author going "I could solve a good chunk of the plot right now but that sounds boring" last week.

[up][up] Funny that you say that, because I’d rather lean towards female if I had to tell…

Belated realization: The manga switches names from Japanese order, right? So originally Anno Un would be Un Anno, because clearly we did not have enough supernatural-related things that start with "un."

Comun Since: Jun, 2012

Family name Anno, given name Un. It's a double pun on "anon" and "unknown", as I mentioned last page.

It also means something like "Year One". So yea someone spent quite some time crafting a Meaningful Name

EDIT: as a fourth meaning, Un + word is used to denote rule breaking (un-breakable, un-dead) so Un Anno (in the japanese style) would be "not a year" or "unlike a year" or similar, which is fitting for someone who apparently survived the end of the universe.

Huh, I thought Anno was a woman. And they're batshit crazy even by UU standards.

[up][up][up][up] The name on her jacket is "Anno Un", so they probably kept the order to preserve the pun. It’s a pseudonym anyway.

I think at this point its obvious that their gender and sex is supposed to be really hard to tell ._.

Damn already learning about Andy’s backstory.

Feels like something you would milk when things get into the hundreds chapters. tongue

The pacing of this manga does seem to be geared towards a length of a hundred or so chapters rather than 500+ chapter epics. I’m pumped for some Victhor backstory.

Anno Un can even replicate UMA abilities. Cool.

I mean they're gonna fight god, which is basically THE endboss. So yea seems like it's intended to be relatively short.

Also, damn that stack of paper is high.

Ah, that Japanese habit of saying their name backwards when speaking to Westerners. Never got the point of that. I guess it’s a form of politeness?

A counterproductive attempt to avoid confusion, I guess.

New chap. Ouch, that was brutal. sad It’s gonna be a sad journey, isn’t it…

Fuuko becoming a little more badass every chapter is always nice.

One of Andy's buddies looked a bit like one of the Under people didn't they? The one that looks like a bigger Andy.
