Comics: School Run ~ Part 6: Who are the Black Squadron?

Illustration and Story by: Macoy
(5/5 ★★★★★)

Previously, Robert and Maki got separated from the rest of the gang. As both of them looks for a way to escape the zombies, a team called the Black Squadron comes into action. When the team came to their rescue, only Maki was brought along since Robert refused to come with them. Determined on not leaving Robert behind, Maki causes the motorcycle she's riding with eightball, a member of the Black Squadron, to crash.

In part 6 of School Run, the story continues by Maki running back to Robert. She tells him that she's ready to die for a friend. Her small physique might not be able to prevent him from dying but she will rather be there and ready to die with him than to leave him alone. On the other hand, the Black Squadron soon discovers that a member of their team is missing. So with the leadership of the group, he goes back along with two other members to aid him in rescuing eightball. This part of School Run ends with a sad bite.

The story of the nature of loyalty among friendship is presented in this new installment of School Run. It shows that in times of need, a loyal friend will always be there to show up. The strength of friendship is tested as one willingly offers her life to also be in harm's way in the event that something bad might happen to her friend, which includes being attacked by a zombie. It is just sad as we, the readers, dawned on the realization that Maki will not survive this story since she had been bitten by a zombie. Damn. I was at least rooting that she'll survive somehow. I guess the rest of the School Run parts can give some hope for her character. :(
