The Worms' Perspective - Trigun Maximum vol. 4

Correction: in our discussion around Vash being called Knives's "little brother", we mistakenly overstated the importance of knowing the birth order of twins for Japanese speakers. Although there is more emphasis placed on this than there is in the English language, it is not nearly as important as we claimed, and there are ways to refer to a sibling/twin without specifying older/younger.

This week on Trigirls: Yasuhiro Nightow keeps finding new ways to hurt me, you, and especially Vash the Stampede

In this volume, word reaches the desert planet from where else but Earth, and in some months' or years' time, rescue will arrive for the people who have been stranded for 150 years. Until then, however, Vash still must contend with Knives, not to mention the rest of the Gung-Ho Guns. When Meryl is kidnapped by Zazie the Beast, Vash, Wolfwood, and Milly descend into the walled city known as the Dragon's Nest to rescue her.
