I always thought this series was extreme in the way it portrayed women and sex, and the authors life makes sense of who would write something like that...

I think he should quit drawing manga and go chase a happier path in life🙁

Well shit.
He shouldn't have said that. I respect artistic works which have pre-planning and a definite ending from the oneset. I don't respect artistic works which are like, "might as well keep going since people are buying"
This was pretty much how Claymore was made.

The author thought it would only last a couple volumes, planned an end point...and just kind of had to keep winging it as the cycle (expecting publisher to say it has to end by x chapter but instead they asked for more) continued.

So I'm clearly being a bit dense but in the afterword is the athor saying the retcon was a mistake? Is that no longer canon?

Absolutely. She's the prize of the series. She's the mega-cute classic (small-breasted) tomboy. Most "tomboys" are drawn with H cups now which doesn't seem like a tomboy to me at all.
I will not tolerate this slander. Tomboys come in all shapes and sizes.

One of the primary jobs of an editor is to not let a mangaka end a profitable series until it's been milked into mediocrity.

I'm sad that we could have been spared the dumpster fire this became...but, we do live in the dumbest timeline, after all.

I dunno. I actually find a lot of this manga totally relatable and it seems painfully realistic. The whole time I was reading this I kept thinking "Man, this mangaka fucks"
