So, they will brainwash the citizens and that will be the "happy ending"...? Seriously? I'm still rather betting on the convenient explosion, perhaps from this runaway security module.

Two more chapters left. Since this totally unnecessary enemy was introduced at the last minute, at least another chapter is necessary for it to be defeated, and then we'll have a single chapter at best to wrap things up. I have a very bad feeling about this.
My girl Dahilia is the only member of the party not present. Getting bad vibes about her surviving the destruction of Zail the Mecha-Cockroach. If she doesn't make it while Licorice survives, my favorable rating of this manga as a whole is going out the window.
Definitely feels like the series was axed. Felt that from around ch50 actually... because I feel the author is less not writing well (the series has been mostly nicely written) and more a case of trying to wrap things up ASAP due to the axe, which has caused things like the issue with Licorice.
@friedtofu One more. Chapter 59, according to the TOC of the volume (check chapter 53).
