T

It It was then that Kala made sure that the man who helped her in the sea was Ezra, her male friend. It made me interested in continuing to read this comic. I was curious about their stories.

a. Good   b. Average    c. Bad

Reasons: At the end of the season, there are many messages for readers, one of which is "humans are greedy; they will feel less and want more if no one rebukes them" besides that, the story conveyed is also interesting, although when I read it it was a little tricky to understand the storyline, maybe this is suitable for readers who like the mystery comic genre.
