every chapter I'm grateful for this combination of ONE's writing with Kiyoto's art, the walking club bit was a literal breath of fresh air after some stressful chapters dealing with this Mysterious Threat and the art for all the pages where Yuki allows herself to relax really pulls it all together, fun chapter

also funny that Moesawa was following them around a lil bit, I enjoy our core group of three a whole lot right now but I won't complain about Moesawa and Yodomi getting more play sometime in the near future

I am glad Yuki is realizing that even though what she says is totally right, the way she is acting is not right, so she has a lot of room for growth... and here I was thinking she would become a villain ahahha, no way right? ... right?

Not a fan of where the manga is going, personally.

I think the original hook was interesting, but now, it's just one crazy event after another, with the story barely taking the time to superficially explain the how and why before sweeping you along to the next madness. And I get that part of the point of the story is to have you confused and awed by the ever-expanding scope and insanity, but it feels like there's nothing to do for the reader but just accept what's going on and move on with the story without being able to guess what's going to happen next or even speculate.

Similarly, the dynamic between the two protags (timid cautious smart small fellow vs harebrained big-hearted beanpole) was touching, but now, we have Yuki who acts as the gigachad huge-brained Sherlock who's two moves ahead while Kokudo and Hitsujiya are the bumbling Watsons who can barely keep up. Kokudo in particular is suffering from it, since he's now barely doing anything while Yuki does all the thinking and Hitsujiya is pretty much just the useless comedic relief.

Not feeling it.
