### Summary
Set in a post-apocalyptic world where a 70-year monsoon has submerged the Earth, humanity struggles for survival at sea, constantly threatened by mutated sea creatures known as “leviathans.” The story follows siblings Bota and Lita Ma, children of a legendary harpooner, as they navigate this treacherous new reality. This introductory chapter immediately establishes the high-stakes environment, with an inciting incident where a young girl, likely one of the protagonists, makes a reckless decision to venture out, leading them directly into a dangerous situation. Amidst the ensuing chaos, one character demonstrates a keen, "spidey-sense" like awareness of their surroundings. While the chapter's art is praised for its dynamic depiction of the waterlogged world, some readers find a female character's outfit to be impractical and "fanservice"-oriented for the apocalyptic setting. The broader narrative context reveals that the siblings will eventually be saved and mentored by Kana, a skilled harpooner who lost her own parents to a leviathan and will train Bota, guiding them on a desperate journey of survival.
