Key Events

Notes
Titled Trade-Off, or Torihiki, the chapter falls under the Psychic Sisters Arc with Fubuki on its cover. VIZ Media publishes it as Transactions, and it draws in part from webcomic chapter 107. It appears in volume 36, following Unascertained. The same material also circulated earlier as the 183rd online chapter, reflecting the separate numbering the series keeps for its online and collected releases.
