I might not be caught up still, but I'm no worse on being behind than last week. It might be easier to write more since I've got action chapters coming. But Chapter 113 is now up. The terrible cliffhanger that I left you with is now over and resolved in a way that shouldn't be too surprising.

This chapter takes some cues from American TV and movies more than Japanese manga, though I wouldn't be surprised if a manga did what I did. It is something that ends up working out a lot better when it is seen and not read, but it still manages to come across fairly well I think.

There were two things that I wanted to do. I had to explain what was happening and keep things sort of in the dark. Though being in the dark does not really last too long. It is also more of a case of showing how skilled Simonides is as a tactician. And the way things are going in the chapter I set Yuki and his friends in a pretty bad corner. They are going to have to do a lot to get themselves out the situation. But this time I'm going also going to make sure that Yuki gets to do some cool stuff. His last fight I didn't feel had much of a punch to it.

I'm still surprising myself that I can keep coming up with different powers for the MPs users. I still have a lot to MP users to toss at the group. So it is going to be a continual struggle to stay fresh with them.

Enjoy!
