I'll be honest, the last couple of pages read like an incoming cancellation. I was relived to see the "to be continued" at the bottom of the last page.
You're not entirely wrong about the loss of mentorship and fraternity and how everything has been sexualized, but after twenty years of reading manga my take is the more likely one.
Wow, not only did we get another chapter, but it was a Loli-chan making everything pure chapter... my filthy heart now feels so clean and refreshed.
Thanks translator!
