Children of the Whales, Vol. 23 Umeda Abi (2024)

In this postapocalyptic fantasy, a sea of sand swallows everything but the past. An endless sea of sand carries the Mud Whale, a floating island city made of clay and magic. Within its chambers, a small community clings to survival, cut off from its own history by the shadows of the past. Katakysmos has been unleashed on Kivotos and is slowly consuming Chakuro and everyone else who came to the village to make their last stand. Now the refugees on the Mud Whale must choose between fleeing through forbidden territory and making a desperate last stand of their own against the destruction of their entire world.
