Mao and Kid Daddy were introduced too late. Really too late. I don't really know what the editor was thinking but all the pace was destroyed after leaving to Tokyo.
What is really sad is the pieces of the puzzle are there, but feels like the way they put it together was careless and rushed...
So... not happy introducing a new character (Mao) in the last 10 chapters, the author decides to include a second one (Akira's clone, a dying teen relative of Akira) which is also Rei's Dad. A male Chako.
FUCKING KILL ME.
