Editor's P/S

As a passionate fan of the Four Knights of the Apocalypse manga, I am both excited and a little bit sad to hear about the hiatus that has been announced for the Part 1 finale. On one hand, I am thrilled that the first part of the manga has concluded in such a thrilling way, and I can't wait to see what happens next in the second part. On the other hand, I am sad that I will have to wait a few months to find out what happens next.

I have been following the Four Knights of the Apocalypse manga since it first started serialization in January 2021, and I have been consistently impressed with the story, the characters, and the artwork. I love the way that Nakaba Suzuki has built upon the world of The Seven Deadly Sins and created something that is both new and familiar. I am particularly interested in the character of Percival, who is a complex and relatable protagonist. I can't wait to see how he develops as the story progresses.

Overall, I am very excited about the future of the Four Knights of the Apocalypse manga. I think that it has the potential to be even better than The Seven Deadly Sins, and I can't wait to see what happens next.
