## Series
- title: Leviathan
- slug: leviathan-5cddce

## Chapter
- number: 44
- release_date: 2025-03-08

### Summary
Following a significant time skip of several years, the narrative has advanced past a frustrating and poorly received socio-political arc. The protagonist, Bota, is now physically matured, bearing a striking resemblance to his late father, the legendary harpooner Teon Ma, and has reclaimed his father's sword. This development is viewed positively by the audience, with some readers speculating that his guardian Kana’s controversial inaction during the preceding conflict was a deliberate strategy for his growth. While Bota's maturation into a warrior has taken center stage, the story's central, long-term quest remains unresolved: the journey to find a cure for his sister Lita's mutating disease. Current reader commentary expresses curiosity about the post-time-skip appearances of Lita and Kana, with some hoping Kana’s controversial “fanservice” attire has been updated. However, there is also an undercurrent of concern that the previous difficult arc caused a decline in readership.
