I'll be starting the review tomorrow (it's 10:14 PM in my area) - OpalYosutebito 『talk』 『articles I want to eat』 02:14, 25 June 2026 (UTC)

Sorry for the wait, @Vacant0! I had allergies yesterday. I believe that the "themes and style" section should be merged into the "history" one, since the former is only two sentences long - OpalYosutebito 『talk』 『articles I want to eat』 13:31, 27 June 2026 (UTC)

Hope you're alright now.  Done Vacant0 (talk • contribs) 15:01, 27 June 2026 (UTC)

The image in the infobox could use a caption. What about Dikan, the titular character of the comic? - OpalYosutebito 『talk』 『articles I want to eat』 13:45, 27 June 2026 (UTC)

I don't see britak i dalekosežan in source 9 - OpalYosutebito 『talk』 『articles I want to eat』 14:55, 27 June 2026 (UTC)

It's in Oblakoder, not Danas. Vacant0 (talk • contribs) 14:59, 27 June 2026 (UTC)

Source 5 mentions a second volume, but not the fact that it was published in late 2015 - OpalYosutebito 『talk』 『articles I want to eat』 15:09, 27 June 2026 (UTC)

"Zato je, valjada, drugi tom koji se pojavio krajem prošle godine" (That's why it's the second volume that appeared at the end of last year). The article was published in April 2016. Vacant0 (talk • contribs) 15:12, 27 June 2026 (UTC)

Oh! Good to know :) - OpalYosutebito 『talk』 『articles I want to eat』 15:13, 27 June 2026 (UTC)
