So how old are Jin and Ryou at the start? I do find it a bit contrived that Ryou had so much knowledge of the King's situation after being at the palace for 1 month, not to mention the fact that he even escaped.
I got up to chapter 5 or 6 last night. I'm not sure how I feel about the King being a Hyou clone. I probably missed the dialogue but are they brothers? Why are they identical?
Think I heard that there is at least one identical copy of yourself out there in the world. Plus, them looking the same kind of plays into the themes of the arc.
Got up to the end of the war against Seikyou. It was well written, I did find it contrived that Shin beat that monster after hearing a philosophical tip from Heki. Other than that no complaints.
