Ehh turned into a dumpster fire. Each girl was just a plot point for more heart strings to be strung. Cheap and easy drama points. The main villain was horrible, the whole revenge gets you no where is never ever perfectly done in manga or anime, the final battle was even worse, introducing people out of the blue, like jose sisters soccer friend being military and being on the scene with the main villain all last second reeked. Also the kid the villain picked up in Africa was literally pointless drama and to add onto more pointlessness the little self detonation thing was not dramatic at all bc of him being such a meek character the author threw in to somewhat make this main villain he chucked in a bit more fleshed out.
To harp back onto the plot of revenge and how it begets revenge, the whole story of there operation is prob the most f’ed up part. Taking girls that are dead (for the most part) and gone to their families and loved ones and making them war machines, is undoubtably worse than the enemy’s they faced in the story. A hired killer being the main villain more than halfway through the manga, how about talk more into detail as to how these guys just play with kids life’s for shadow warfare operations? Perhaps that’s why a main villain would have never stuck onto the reader.
It’s a good manga but very flawed, if they tackled how heinous this was more and maybe never gave a stupid main villain that had to add 10 different plot points with no value it would of been better.
The post ending chapter was absolutely bad in every way lol. Idk what the author was cooking with that lol. I mean for all the words people have against the romance. I thought it was pretty clear that hillshire and triela were perfectly fine not romantically and she said to protect and love Roberta, idk where the eggs and Surrogate motherhood thing came up out of.
They couldn’t come up with any of the gunslinger girls alive to have a somewhat happy ending why show us people we never seen b4 we do not care. What does speranza know about those 2? Idk giving the reader any cool story about the girls after would of sufficed.
