I really don't think he's human. Although, now that I think about it, no one seems to make distinctions like that in the tower. There just are people who are lizards and gators and squirrels, or have tiny useless bat wings, or whatever the hell else, and it ain't no thing. No one bats an eye.

We're curious precisely because the comic's being so elliptical with the "big picture." I definitely think we've got all the information we need to enjoy it. The world demands constant competition, sortition and ranking. It can give you what you want, but only if you're good enough (and, secretly, if you don't want things that threaten the status quo). Into this comes a monomaniacal kid of uncertain origins who makes friends readily. That's it, you're ready to read on. I'm not sure how things beyond the scope of the story could matter to it. You might as well ask whether Sando in Shin Angyo Onshi was human: the ambiguity serves an artistic purpose. E: although I definitely do think that what led to Baam living in a cave might be important later. Doc Hawkins fucked around with this message at 23:38 on Aug 21, 2011 |

People do come into the tower from somewhere "outside" of it, and they can go back there too (remember that Ho was attacked by a ranker as a child). We know you can't see the stars "outside". We have no idea what kind of shape the tower has, what kind of space it occupies, from the perspective of being in these "outside" lands. I think it isn't necessarily a "tower" as we'd imagine it: it might not have an outside wall to climb.

People who haven't been chosen are not in the tower. They're just some other place where stars are just legends.

Man, seriously? I think all the Zahard princesses rule schools. I just wish the third one (first one?) would hurry up and get there.

Aww yeah, Girl Power. I love that despite being an openly fantastical setting, there's still some magical realism going on. Like, the sheep-thing is completely weird and incongruous, but the other characters just treat it like any other dangerous creep. The_Angry_Turtle posted:This is some good stuff right here. Really loving the vertical style. For some reason, that seems to be typical for web-manwha. The impression I got is that that one issue is usually just 1-3 "pages", but most manga readers split them up more. Doc Hawkins fucked around with this message at 18:24 on Oct 23, 2011 |

Serious Frolicking posted:Big fish, small pond. This is like the second floor of the tower, and apparently Yuri is very much a resident of the top. They're both rankers, which means they've both been to the top.  But apparently there's still room for wide gaps in power between rankers.

Anyone else remember that dream Lahel had where Baam had a bunch of friends and left her alone? Good times.

I think the way his influence spreads like an unstoppable virus is at least a little off-putting.Elemennop posted:koon is the real protagonist anyways I pretty much agree with you, although Anak has had a lot of development too.

Oh yeah, his full name is "25th Baam," and I think I remember a TN note that it was like he was named after a day of the month or something. That may only be an aesthetic connection to the 13 month series, though, since I believe Rachelle named him.

I don't want him to be a jerk, but honestly, a splash of  could make more interesting.

Just so no one is disappointed: this isn't a real new chapter. The author just answers a few questions, and then gives a tiny preview of Part 2. Despite that, it's pretty great.

Hietala posted:I don't think that's a picture of outside. In one of the earliest chapters you see princess Yuri running down stairs to get to the first floor, and if each floor is the size of a continent, that's probably just a flying city in the 20th floor. This is also my opinion. I meant "everything we see in that picture is contained within the twentieth floor." e: Oh, now that I look at it again, I see that my original perspective was off: it's a big floating island coming to a point, not a big tower stretching down to a point.

I think the lightbearer is another fisherman metaphor. Lots of traditional near-shore fishing is done at night, with lanterns to attract fish.
