I thought this was coming up on Saturday, I even planned to make some time to re-read the last chapter or two later today but then I saw this was up on lostinanime so I threw all those plans out the window & just read the new chapter which meant, I admittedly wasn't capable of following it as well as I had expected. Granted, I wasn't particularly confused or anything, I remember well enough where everything left off but with as much nuance & detail in this arc, I don't doubt I would've enjoyed it more had I read it with a fresher memory.
But I still really enjoyed this chapter. I had half-expected the return of Basho & Melody just because of Kurapika's connection to the Nostrade family but Hanzo, Bisky & Izunabi (who I recognized immediately but honestly I can't remember if he was even given a name prior to this chapter) were a bit more surprising to me. Bisky was the only one who really got any spotlight here but boy, her interactions with Kurapika were just delightful. Really funny stuff & to be honest, it's nice that Killua had some role in this arc.
Also, to be honest, I wasn't blown away by the art like most in here seem to have been. There were definitely some great moments, I love the panels depicting Kurapika holding the baby prince Woble (I would say that's a terrible name but at least I can spell/pronounce it without google search, unlike most of them [like Tserriednich]) but I recall his return from the last hiatus was even better (though, this was better than the last chapter we got at least). Either way, he nailed the scenes that matter & I don't think it was bad or anything, so it's not really an issue.
