Read the whole thing, didn't even take me all week this time. Anyway, the art is good and um, ok that's all I have to say about the art.

The story is interesting although the whole climb the tower to get a prize theme has been used a few times before. Still, it's not bad and the whole animal merging thing is a nice twist on the whole animal/human characters style. I'll be keeping an eye on this one.

I don't rightly know whether or not I've read 50 pages, I haven't been counting. I probably haven't. But I have one very, very important thing to say for now.

Margensen is teh pwn.

I read all of this last night (and definitely forgot to post), and all I know is that squirrels are awesome, so this comic rocks!

O.O is it strange that I had started reading this a few weeks ago? Just kind of spur-of-the moment, saw a link for it and started reading... I didn't have time to get all the way through, so I guess I'll have to do that now. With my WEEK OFF OF SCHOOL!

...But yeah, the art was what got me reading in the first place because it's a neat style. The story kept me reading because... well, tower-climbing bit does seem somewhat typical, but I think the 'being in hell' and 'Magical Jungle Transformation jutsu' and 'squirrels' makes up for that. Squirrels FTW.
"Irregardless" and "Over exaggerated" are NEVER CORRECT EVER because they are redundant
Regardless means "without regard", and adding "ir" on the front actually makes it a double negative; exaggerate means "to overstate" so you're literally saying "over overstate."
Example: I can not exaggerate the importance of this fact enough, regardless of how often people ignore it.
