Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This chapter adapts Karakara Kemuri's spinoff manga that the anime largely skipped — making it essential lore for Fuma stans.
The 'cloud' motif in the title finally pays off here: Shirasu and Ichiu are literally 'under the clouds' of their clan's prophecy, unable to see their own choices until it's too late.
