Hmm. I'm curious about whether or not our recent chapters are even part of the Marley arc as well. Right now we're back at Paradis, so it doesn't seem like a Marley arc anymore. If we are going by volumes the Marley arc should have ended (if it has) at Volunteers (Chapter 106, the one that ends with Armin sitting in front of Annie's crystal). Flashbacks to the four years also start in Chapter 106.

Next chapter, I guess. We'll see after the next chapter. (There might be something inside of the Character Encyclopedia (which was released in English two days after Chapter 107) that gives hints as to whether or not the arc is over, but I don't have the Encyclopedia.) I guess it can be argued or speculated that Marely Arc is like two parts, the first part from chapter 91-106 (volume 23-26) where it was all set in Marely and establishing the characters and some world building. The second half starting from chapter 107 and onwards (starting with the upcoming volume 27 and onward) being in Paradis and expecting a counter attack from its foes. If I had to name it, I call it the "Return to Paradis" Arc or "Final Battle" Arc. I actually just visited the French Wiki and apparently we're not the only ones that think the current arc is a different one, lol. There's been a page on the French Wiki for a "Return to Paradis" (loosely translated) arc (although it might not be canon) since late July.

(Ouch. I almost forgot to say this -- "Guides" is the first chapter since 103 that hasn't had a "A" or "V" title. Hooray, the translators were creative!)
