Third child?! Congrats to the authors and understandable break/hiatus if anything it should be longer. I can't believe the author is managing 2 kids, an infant and a serialization.
Reading this thread makes me realize that some people have a hard time separating fiction from reality. In general you should NOT use a twitter manga as a model for adult relationships. None of this is real.
But I have to say that I keep being disappointed by direction this series has taken...
Yeah I agree with your point regarding the dropping quality. I vaguely remember that the author had health issues but I had forgotten that it had a hiatus. Doing some napkin math you're also right about the number of chapters based on it's run. The feeling I remember from reading those chapters...
I started following the manga when it first started releasing. Based on the artwork, environmental storytelling, and other small details, it's clear the author really cared about the world she was building. I can only speculate that she created a lot of backstory and lore that just never made it...
The source is a crop of a screenshot I took of Darling in the Franxx years ago. I looked it up out curiousity and its from the ending of ep 7.
Funnily enough I did a reverse image search and someone else posted the exact same frame in full resolution.
Here you go:
Goddamm this was an amazing chapter.
The art, the combat sequence and yet its so sad knowing Zoe used up nearly her entire life.
I keep hoping for a happy ending for Lucas and Zoe but I don't think this is one of those manga that will ass-pull a happily ever after. I respect that in many ways...
I'm glad how realistic the mom's reasoning is. The supernatural stuff aside all those things are something that would tip people off. Plus, the biggest of them all being that despite changing clothes and size Dara-san basically has the same face.
Thanks for the chapter!
Thanks for the info, this one dropped off my radar.
I totally didn't know about the color version translations either - I figured it went on hiatus or scanlators lost interest. Thanks for the chapter and the heads up!
What the fuck did I just read.
Just think that at some point somewhere an author came up with this chapter and they thought to themselves: "Oh boy, I'm cooking!"
On the one hand, I don't want that man cooking my food - ever. On the other, we wouldn't get this disasterpiece of a chapter. Truly...
Damn, but at least she realized. There wasn't any malice to her words but I imagine Kiri(?) is feeling pretty bad about it.
On an unrelated note we seem to be getting a healthy dose of cake every chapter. I see you mangaka - we all do.
