I hate this chapter. Now I don’t feel so bad about ending in 4 chapters.

 

[OnuOskar]

I love this series, but this chapter was so bad 😭. Genuinely might ruin the series for me if it doesn't get better next chapter

 

[Dojyaaaaan]

why drop miki x tao and build up a completely different ship just to suddenly swap it back again right near the end? this chapter makes no sense even if the series did get axed

 

[NinjaGoemon]

As always the author is not to blame for bad plot decisions in a 3 volume axe, capitalism is.

That said poor Tao's heart being ruined this chapter.

Usually I'd agree, but this is impressively bad, the author is definitely to blame for most of this. Axes are always bad, but there are so many better ways to handle it than whatever the fuck this is.

Not sure what I just read, Saku got cukholded, Tao got confessed by worst girl (granted, I actually expected that), and this psychopath will pick up anything with a skirt, but also wants to bag Dango. I felt really sorry for Dango. Imaging someone you just met pulling that crap on you.
I hope Saku grows a pair (in the figurative sense of the word) and slaps a bitch.

I thought your look would fit a tough chic vibe that could work here. But you're bringing "Neko Devil" when we need "Runway Cafe" energy. What I'm saying is, you're fired. What, her sales were the best? She stays! What, sexually harassed 2/4 of the staff? Only I get to do that! You're fired!

 

[Baffled]

Yep, this manga turned to shit in a single chapter
I don't know what author was smoking, but he should never cook again

 

[SilverHarken]

Really?, chapters with dango x tao and now the author put this bullshit?.. worst chapter.

 

[Yuri_Enjoyer_Deluxe]

I know we've had our lesbian shenanagins, but this is straight feverish, and I just got off of recovering from a fever, maybe im suffering again?

 

[MathMols]

Yeah, I am just dropping this. It was already bad enough with the owner, now author completely destroyed this manga by introducing this random sexual assaulter…

 

[synthubus]

this manga had a lot of promise and it had some really good settings and ideas but honestly while the art is amazing they just don't know how to put a story together. which is fine! not everyone can do both! but you gotta admit that at some point and either learn or find a collaborator because this is just sad. absolutely ruined to the point where I wouldn't blame the translator themselves for dropping it.

 

[leen0002]

What the hell is happening

 

[dggything]

this was absolutely incomprehensible,

 

[Joddascus]

Personally, I think the only satisfying pivot from here is a full cafe polyamory situation with the new girl ousted for being a creep

 

[frite_sel]

Why're you complaining
This shit is getting axed so shut up

 

[Yuri_Enjoyer_Deluxe]

Why're you complaining
This shit is getting axed so shut up

Get back to work boss!!! The Cancun Cafe needs you back out there making motions with the oceans!

It's been a while since a manga I liked as much as this one betrayed me like this, and burned all my goodwill in a single chapter.

The previous chapter finally gave Saku, the least developed of our main quartet, some much needed focus. The chapter before that set up Tsumugu and Tao working together to make Saku's new outfit. Maybe this chapter we could follow up on either or both of those threads? Maybe start the costume design collab? Maybe flesh out Saku some more while we're at it so she might feel even half as interesting as Tao? No? Instead we're going sideline all our existing characters and plot threads to spend the chapter focused on an incredibly obnoxious new character who adds nothing of worth to the story? Gee, thanks, you shouldn't have.

And not to make this all about shipping, but hey, remember how we've spent the past ten chapters slowly building up the relationship between Tao and Tsumugu, with Tao slowly pulling away from the impulsive and self-destructive worst girl manager Miki? Remember how two chapters ago Miki was shown doubting herself and her place in the cafe, like maybe she's going to get some character development sometime soon? Yeah, what if we torpedoed all that by making it clear that not only is Miki still in the running for the Taobowl without having to change anything about herself, but also she's clearly the frontrunner? We were supposed to find Miki's gambling addiction and alcoholism and general scumbaggery endearing, apparently.

Maybe this manga can still pull out of this nosedive before the end, but after a chapter like this, I'm losing hope.

 

[Resound]

Tao gets pass around... sigh..... well its getting axed so author just said "fcuk it all"

spent some good number of chapters so Tao can leave the that toxic relationship with the manager but just like that shes back in the pit
