Getting Aura back into the story is exactly what we needed I think. Even if it's a cliche her dynamic with Takamichi in contrast to everyone else is fun.
Do yourself a favor. Give it a month or two. We're (hopefully) coming out of the most boring and needlessly drawn out witch fight in the entire manga. It's lasted for seven months, still not decisively over, and there's been maybe a dozen actual attacks thrown throughout.
This is figuratively and literally the most padded witch confrontation ever and it has far overstayed its welcome. We're 15 chapters deep now with I'm betting at least 5 more ahead of us at this rate. Most other witch confrontations ran like... maybe five chapters on the high end.
Worse still...
