## Chapter
- number: 13
- release_date: 2025-03-08

### Summary
Following the recent murder of their father, Teon Ma, Bota is in a desperate solo battle against a swarm of newly hatched leviathans. This crisis interrupts the ongoing journey with his sister Lita and guardian Kana to the floating city of Busan Union, where they hope to find a cure for Lita's mutation. While the previous chapter introduced a mysterious new female character, the current chapter's reader feedback is overwhelmingly focused on her design. The vast majority of comments criticize her revealing, bikini-like attire as gratuitous "fanservice" that is tonally inconsistent with the manga's serious, post-apocalyptic survival narrative. Readers describe the design as "out of place" and "unrealistic," stating that it ruins the mood of Bota's life-or-death struggle and has caused some to drop the series. While a few readers defend the outfit as potentially practical for an aquatic environment, the dominant sentiment is one of disappointment, with some comparing the situation to other series known for controversial fanservice. A separate observation questions the new character's motives, speculating she may have deliberately delayed her intervention after being spotted in the distance.
