## Chapter

### Summary
The main narrative of "Leviathan" is currently paused to explore an extended flashback centered on the legendary harpooner Teon Ma, the father of protagonists Bota and Lita. This backstory delves into the circumstances surrounding his presumed death before the siblings were born, with current reader comments focusing on the tactical decisions made by the characters during a battle with a crab-like leviathan in this past timeline. This interruption puts the present-day plot on hold, in which Bota and Lita, under the guardianship of the harpooner Kana, are traveling to the floating city of Busan Union. Their mission is to seek a cure from Dr. Foid for Lita, who is suffering from a mutation she contracted from the Sea Demon, Genod. Set in a post-apocalyptic world where humanity survives at sea against monstrous "leviathans," the story's focus on the family's tragic history is juxtaposed with ongoing reader criticism regarding inappropriate fan service involving the young Lita, which is seen by some as conflicting with the manhwa's gritty survival theme.
