Hello everyone, and welcome back to Akane Torikai’s Wandering Cat’s Cage. This week’s episode starts with a flashback when Reiho and Sanada first met, and dips in and out of the present day (in relation to the story, which happens in an as-yet-determined time/place in relation to our present day). There’s also some heavy content around assault. You might want to go and check out the previous three chapters and catch up what’s happened so far in this story before jumping in here.

Chapter 01 | 02 | 03

This week’s chapter also features a number of double-page spreads, which will look a lot better either on the MSX website, or on the Substack App, available for iOS and Android:
