Marie getting screwed over by her own hubris is still the most amusing part of this manga. I can't wait to see how her plan will blow up on her face this time.
I'm in stitches. Every time I think they've hit the bottom of insanity, they find a way to come up with ridiculously funny new developments. I hope this series never ends.
I'm not the only one feeling the MIB are on borrowed time, right? They are so nice and helpful that I can not see them faring well against the old-man spirit.
Allie is such a great addition to the cast and a perfect foil to Diana. It was kind of funny how blunt Nekotarou was with this chapter to push Allie as Diana's endgame while also giving us nuggets of Natori's backstory and elaborating a little more on the setting. Clearly this is just a breather...
Decent ending all things considered but still, is hard not feeling underwhelmed by how rushed everything was, you can clearly see there are glimpses of a larger and better story that unfortunately wasn't allowed to be.

Sometime's commentary on the final chapters.
Interestingly, she admits that Violet's "I spent too much time hating Frost" nonsense was her idea.
That is one of the strongest hooks of the series, IMO. The way that Lapis treads masterfully the edge between one-dimensional villain and fully realized character without falling into usual cliches for the genre. Normally I would've expected Lapis to be selfish and cling to Natori just because...
Nice chapter for what is essentially an interlude, the calm before the storm of the next story arc. I'm still not convinced by the "Lapis is Aurora" angle that the story seems to be going, but well, I trust Nekotarou to be able to pull it off.
Good to see that Alexandra left a mark on Diana...
