TPN 181 - WSJ Release vs Volume Release Differences
#wait what they changed the last few pages? have to look it up in my volume o.o (via @officersnickers on this post)
Yeah I've talked about it a bit before in this post, but the volume version adds nine pages on to the WSJ release of chapter 181 and tweaks some of the frames starting around page 17, besides the inclusion of this incredibly poignant side scene at the beginning of the chapter:
The first is an expansion of Emma's speech to the demon god that spreads one panel's dialogue across multiple panels and adds on a bit of new text.
Pages 17-20, WSJ release:
Pages 17-22, volume release:
Pages 19-25 of the WSJ release and 21-27 of the volume release remain the same.
Pages 25-28, WSJ release:
In the volume release, page 27 is the same as WSJ's 25, but page 28-29 adds a dream sequence/vision of Norman and Ray finding Emma on the shore they washed up on two years ago, as if she was always there, waiting for them to turn around and find her like in the chapter title art:
Page 30 expands WSJ's page 26 dialogue out across more panels:
Page 31 removes the "screw destiny" text in the panel next to Alex in WSJ's 27 and replaces it with a panel of Zack, Thoma, Gilda, Lanni, Rossi, Mark, and Jemima (the rest is the same):
The "screw destiny" text is moved to the bottom of page 32 while the top is a mix of flashback panels that include a straight-up lifted one of the trio hug from chapter 27, a new panel of Emma and Ray running after they remove the trackers in chapter 33 but before Anna tends to their wounds, a new spread of some of the kids in the bunker during the Cuvitidala arc, and a tweaked version of Emma and Ray extending their hands to Norman in chapters 153 and 154; Emma wears a slightly different smile while Ray wears a more relieved smile on his face as opposed to his stern frown in the originals:
The page 33-34 spread expands the scene on WSJ's page 28 to include more characters as well as alter the expressions of the characters who were on the original page. Notably, Don, Gilda, and Jemima can be seen crying now, Ray's smile is less intense and now softer and more fond, Norman is sporting a blush with tears pricking his eyes, and Emma's hint of a blush is stronger as tears prick her eyes as well, both in the group shot and in the panel of her by herself.
Page 35-36 is an extended spread I've talked about before:
This spread legit made me catch my breath for the briefest of seconds seeing it for the first time. Such a powerful statement conveyed in such simple concept: how after centuries of suffering on the grounds of Grace Field, that chapter of history closes as life blooms anew.
Page 37 shows what life is like for Mujika and Sonju as they lead the demon world into a new era (since Leuvis dipped lol)
And the final page of the volume's version of the chapter shows Emma running off to join her family in front of Alex's home, now filled with plenty of laughter and life again:
The anniversary picture from WSJ #36/37 2020 hints at the kids building more around it:

Usually, I don't like to bitch about characters not being interpreted correctly or being reduced down to their most basic traits cause not every single post about a character has to be a deep analogy of them, some times you're allowed to just be silly with it.
However
One character interpretation that always pisses me off is the idea that Norman is some "obsessive simp" for Emma just bc he cares about her a lot. (And yes I know the author characterizes him like that in the parody comics, but that doesn't matter right nowwwww). Cause If I think about it for more than five minutes I'm genuinely so confused as to where this idea came from?
Like this whole perception of him started during that escape arc when he wanted to go with Emma's plan despite it being incredibly risky. But like. Yes, Norman is a genius. But also he's an eleven year old. And he hasn't undergone the horrors™️ yet and is incredibly full of love, and incredibly selfless. Of course, he'd want to choose the option where the least people died, even if it risked his own safety. Because that's just Norman :)
Then the whole king of paradise arc came along and only strengthened this view of him, because people can't seem to differentiate characters who kill for their loved ones from yanderes. And yes, Norman wanted to kill all demons for Emma. But not only for Emma. He had so many other people depending on him. If he solely cared about what Emma wanted he wouldn't have gone with that plan in the first place
Obviously, I'm not trying to say he didn't like her, because he canonically did, I'm just saying none of his actions were motivated by his crush on her, and he's not "obsessed" with her
