Fred posted the new comic to his Patreon. He'll post it the main site and elsewhere tomorrow.

Maybe we get two versions of 1512 and then choose which version/path we want Piro to follow.

Not sure about numbering, I just went off Fred's post. I agree however.

Saw how smug Seraphim looks in the last panel. I hope she gets butt herpes. Can CEAs get butt herpes?

If she plays with Asmodeus that's highly likely :P

Man panel 2 hits you right in the feels. Her trying to smile through the pain.

Is Seraphim planning to stay on the bed?? What happens when Piro an Kimiko try to head there?

Considering the cold water, I predict the title for 1514 will be

"Shrinkage"

Sheesh. The least Seraphim could do while she’s in big mode is get the couple some clothes.

Totally deserves butt herpes.

I can only be 72.3% sure, but I think that it’s scene change time. Who wants to guess where Fred might take us next?

This page is like a turning point in the entire comic. 18 years in the making. Hopefully she finally makes him a man so he can stop acting so wimpy and shy.

At the door of every bridal chamber there is an angel etc etc.

Great scene thank you Fred :)

Let's admire first, forecast later :)

I was 100% certain it would come after the last page. Now I have no idea.

While I don't want Fred to depict them actually having sex, I wouldn't be averse to some tasteful nekkid lovey-dovey-ness.

If there is a scene change, I'd like to see what's going on with Miho and Genki Ninja Girl. Or the grandma.

I think it may not have a door to close. Kimiko never opens one.

I'd say it's as much a turning point as the last two chapters a turning circle.

Or looking at the PxK story, one of its stages where they actually turn the wheel and select Drive (first gear, for those in good olde Yerp) instead of Reverse.

What does this comic tell me ? :)
That Piro does sometimes leave his conscience behind.

And he helps Kimiko first, despite having glass or just cuts in his back. I don't see him resting horizontally much before it's taken care of. Some spine, he actually has. Even hugging with all that in his back could cause a bit of a colour transfer problem...

(Edited to insert a scene:
He caresses the toner out of her hair out with his hand, while she is under shower.
Their gaze meets.
They kiss first.
With his hands around her back and her hands on his neck.
Then she slips hand down his back and finds the glass damage and creeps out slightly.
He doesn't notice the tingling on his back because of hormones, but she notices his blood as it pats on the floor... )

Maybe they will talk some immediately important topic sometime later, like the Lockart job.
Still some room for fox-ninja intervention.
And for Ping and Junko's lover to appear somewhere.
A calm before a storm, is what it is.
Much needed calm but hopefully the storm will not tear us apart, again.

Actual love scenes would be fanservice :) but maybe better when some things are left to imagination...

Also damn when's the last time Asmodeus got mentioned in the story?

When you think about it, Piro has been having one hell of a day. (I can't recall if this day includes his escape from the HOARD and hospital collapse or not) but all things considering, He needs a damn break.

No that however it happened within 24h. the hoard escape, was previous chapter, hospital within this one.

Break is obviously required :)

Car window glass breaks into non-sharp pieces that are more akin to gravel. Also he was wearing his shirt which would further blunt the impact. He's scratched up, but I dont think he's actually sliced open, and he shouldn't have any glass pieces embedded in him.

I don't think gymnastics are as impossible as you're making out.

At any rate, they probably have a few days leeway if necessary.

EDIT: Actually, looking at the previous page, I guess he does have some cuts. I don't think it's bad enough to put the kibosh on Naked Fun Stuff, though.

I gotta admit... I never thought this would happen. First because I never thought Fred would draw such a scene, then because I never thought Piro would get to this point with Kimiko, and then because Miho got involved and I was sure that Kimiko was going to metaphorically end up in a ditch somewhere.

I was wrong on all points.

And I'm glad of it, if for no other reason than it gave us Panel #5... probably the cutest image to appear in MT.

Nicely done, Fred. Thank you.

Oh man, Asmodeus would have a frigging heart attack if there were a face cam; and it would be so hilarious.

He also fell down a story through a ceiling, landing on his backside with the weight of two people, and is " slightly " dirty too from earlier falls. It is really romantic, but I don't think we'll get more than some hugging and some female caress on scored men's back scene if The Artist were to draw that :)

Yanno, this would probably be the appropriate point to end the chapter...

...but what do I know? I'm just a reader.
