Hi, in the chapter pages, how do you decide how the chapter titles should be read? For example in [[chapter 132], you wrote the chapter title is read as "matsuri kai". How did you come to that conclusion? I think it's meant to be read as "saikai".

Lately, Ishida has been using kanjis in the chapter titles that normally don't go together and don't form a word in Japanese. That's why they are extremely hard to translate and it's not really clear how it should be read. However, he tends to hide an additional hidden meaning through possible readings of the titles. In this case, 祭開 = saikai = reunion. Or chapter 131, 改問 = kaimon = the gate opens. That's why I think they should be read differently.
