タイムラグ
For some reason, only half of this volume contained 仁獣芳烈伝 chapters; the other half was dedicated to an unrelated short story, タイムラグ, so I thought I'd write a quick review of that.
I was a bit disappointed to see 仁獣 end so abruptly on a cliffhanger this volume, but タイムラグ turned out to be a really cute story. It's set in New Jersey, USA, 1966, and follows three thieves doing recon on a house they're attempting to break into. Two of the thieves are specifically aiming to steal a chair that once belonged to Thomas Edison, while the third is acting more from a "steal from the corrupt rich only" angle.
This was probably easier than the main 仁獣 book it's in, just due to the lack of fantasy vocab. Everything still has furigana, and there's very little technical jargon to worry about as well.
