Back to the cover art, this may be a stupid question, but what is the large white whale/cloud/blob to the left of allen. It looks as though it has weird fin things a jaw.
Am I overlooking something entirely obvious due to forgetting parts of the story, or is this something yet to be introduced?
That's Atuuda, the technique used to revive Link (it's somewhere near the middle of the chapter).
As for the art style of Hoshino, I agree that her old style looked a lot better but her new style has a few good points too. I find that it makes surprised and threatening expressions look well, more surprising and threatening and it also makes children look a bit more innocent in a way but yeah, most of the main characters look really weird now. :|
The last panel is most likely the 14th's memory, the panel before with the picture of Allen suggests it, anyhow. And if it's the 14ths memory then it's mostly likely Mana we're looking at (because it's the 14th's memory so we're probs looking through the eyes of Nea) he shares some similarities w/ the 14th and they're twins (refer to previous chapters for what the 14th looked like)
@Aeropop, I'm confused with that too @-@
