I tachiyomi'd this, so I nothing to refer back to. However, I don't think that would have made much of a difference.

This wins the prize as the single most incoherent manga I have ever read, even beating The World Exists For Me. And volume three may have been the least comprehensible volume of the bunch. Not only could I not follow the story in general, I usually couldn't tell what was happening on any given page. (I read the whole thing out of sheer amazement.)

Upon consulting [livejournal.com profile] oyceter, I discovered that part of my confusion was caused by two misapprehensions. I had thought that there was only one long-haired man with an eye-patch. There are two. Also, I thought that Tokage had vanished from the story and some random guy named Isaiah had appeared. What actually happens is that Tokage turns out to be named Isaiah.

There is a dead fairy God on an oxygen mask, a door into Faerie, and people crawling in and out of other people's bodies. Ian gets full-sized wings, or maybe that's an illusion. Faerie and Earth merge, unless that's an illusion too. Oh, and Rin enters a beauty pageant in order to rescue Ian. I forget why she thought that would help.

There's a long side-story that made more sense, but reminded me of the duller and more obvious stand-alone stories in Godchild.

So, does anyone have any idea what happened?

I had thought that there was only one long-haired man with an eye-patch.

You know, I get confused if there are two men of the same basic look (two Asian men with dark hair, two white men with brown hair, maybe even a mixed race man and a white man if they both had brown hair, I'm a little better with redheads or blondes but I think there aren't usually a lot of them at once). I feel strangely reassured that you get confused if there are TWO long-haired men with an eye patch.

The really embarrassing thing is that this happens to me in real life too, that I can get people (OK, men) confused if they have anything like the same look; my coworker tried to tell me that right, those two guys in our office were both kind of short young looking doctors (with brown hair), she understood, even though really, everyone else could tell them apart right away.
