Okay, let's talk Beyond the Clouds. That gorgeous manga with the whimsical flying machines and the even more whimsical art. We all love it, right?
But how many volumes are there really? That's where things get a little... complicated. And, dare I say, a bit frustrating?
The Great Volume Count Mystery
Officially, Beyond the Clouds by Nicke has... well, that depends on who you ask! Some sources claim a certain number. Others say another.
It's like trying to count sheep. Except the sheep are tiny, beautifully drawn clouds and you keep getting distracted by the sheer artistry.
Seriously, who can focus on numbers when faced with that level of detail? I certainly can't!
My Unpopular Opinion
Here's my controversial take: It doesn't really matter. I know, I know, blasphemy! But hear me out.
The story is the real treasure. The journey with Theo and Mia, soaring through those fantastic landscapes. That's what sticks with you.
Are we really going to let a slightly unclear volume count ruin the magic? I think not.
I'm not saying accuracy isn't important. I'm just suggesting we focus on the joy this manga brings. Let's appreciate the beautiful art instead of getting bogged down in details. Deal?
Besides, I'm pretty sure Nicke herself is too busy drawing amazing airships to keep perfect track. Just a hunch.
So, How Many Volumes? (Ish...)
Fine, fine. I'll try to give you some kind of answer. But don't hold me to it. Seriously.
As of now (and please note, this might change faster than the weather), most sources seem to agree on a range.
It's somewhere between... well, let's just say "quite a few." Okay, closer to 10 volumes. But check the latest info before you start your hunt!
My advice? Start reading. If you love it, keep going. The story will tell you when you've reached the end (or at least, the current end). Don't worry too much about the exact volume number.
Think of it like this: You're on your own adventure, discovering the world of Beyond the Clouds one breathtaking panel at a time.
Embrace the Mystery!
Maybe the ambiguity is part of the charm. A little bit of mystery to go with the adventure.
Perhaps the true volume count is the friends we made along the way. Okay, that's a bit much even for me.
But seriously, just enjoy the ride. Beyond the Clouds is a visual feast. Don't let the numbers distract you.
So, go forth and read! Discover the beauty. Let the story transport you. And maybe, just maybe, stop worrying about how many volumes there are. I did.
"The journey is the destination," or something equally profound, right?
Happy reading!
