Can't say I like this development. I know this manga is to help promote/sell new cards but out of the 3 mages the only one I'm interested in is Aleister and they pretty much skipped all of his Invoked lore...
It's chapters like this that reminds me again that Masakazu-sensei is such a masterful storyteller.
Whether it's this or Sore Machi or Getenrou, he just gets it right with these twists and turns everytime.
Alright Author-san we get it, times are tough for Cleo.
...Now can something PLEASE go right for our man??? This despair shit is dragging on a bit now...
I love Steven, he's in my top 5 favorite Pokemon Champions, but why do you gotta do Veteran Trainer like that man...
Veteran bro's the highlight of this chapter for me. His Excadrill fought like hell! Glad Red gave him the respect he deserves at least.
This was probably the first chapter from Kouji sensei and the team that I did not enjoy very much...a huge event is happening yet the jumbled pacing, clunky dialogue (this one might be a translation problem?) and the weird paneling/ flow really takes away the impact.
That last page seems...
