Hello and welcome to this hell that my brain thought well of hyperfocusing for 4 days in a row, only to lose all creative juices and making me struggle to finish it in some way.
The plot feels incredibly rushed especially in the last third of it, and I feel like I ended up going very out-of-character with them all, but I had to tell myself that this was meant to be a self-indulgent thingie just for fun so it doesn't have to be perfect. I do have to warn that I did give up on this at one point so apologies if the flow is all over the places.
Also, small context for those who are not familiar with ZZZ's story as well as one of my headcanons:
the blue manato is "Drowned Ideal - Komano Manato", he's basically an incarnation of Manato's childhood dream of what he wanted to become like as an adult, created by the miasma (which can be summarized with "Ow the Edge". I'm not joking fdkjng). in the story you end up confronting him and eventually get rid of the Ghost Town formed by the miasma (it's a bit of a story that I won't go in details here), and by neutralizing the Ether in it to free the people trapped in it, DI Manato ceases to exist, asking the real Manato to not forget about him (aka his old dream). so yeah, this goes with the idea that Manato does make sure to not forget about him, and eventually a part of DI returns and lives within Manato… if that makes sense lol
So yeah, enjoy this long-ass comic lol
