I have to give a shoutout to the art in this chapter. The use of shadows during the flashback sequence is top-tier. The way the "Circle" motif is drawn in the background of every panel, slowly getting tighter and tighter, creates a feeling of suffocation. You can really feel the walls closing in on the characters.
What is your prediction for the next chapter? Is the Circle finally breaking? guilty circle chap 172 raw manga welovemanga exclusive
