The world page is eras: Mikaboshi exile, Shokoku rising, the war, Enten, the Hishaku, the raid. Present tense is the essay that says October and November are weeks, not decades. This page is the lookup: a row you can scan. If a date is a month, we print a month. If Part 2 printed March 29 and April 1, those rows exist. We do not invent a Wednesday the book has not given. Official chapters: VIZ / MANGA Plus.
