Next month's Bessatsu Champion (not the normal magazine) contains a special thing: compilation of Itagaki's early/missing works which most readers haven't ever heard of, much-less seen. Apparently there's only two, but I'm not sure on that. They are: "Maria" and "Kicker". Comes out on June 12th.

End chapter.

Hanayama really is going to die, isn't he?

wasn't this chapter in the Scarface spinoff already?
