In this last page, the narration tells us that Hitler silently shakes everyone’s hands, goes into his room, and a dull gunshot is heard.

Apparently years back there was some fuss about some boys love manga artist buying men’s fashion magazines and tracing some of the  photos to draw her manga. Among the nerds who bought the magazine to look into it, one noticed that the BL artist wasn’t the only one who’d been tracing out of that magazine.
The photos on the right side, I’m told, all come from the June 1998 issue of Mr. High Fashion, the mens’ fashion magazine in queston, while the Hunter x Hunter stuff is all from volume 11.
