no, she's taking the option she thinks will spare mio's life

on another note, this author is really good at drawing out emotions. i went from sad to wistful to angry all in the course of a few minutes

She arrogantly thinks she knows the best for her. But in mangas like these, close family betrayals rarely punished so she most likely will be fine with some sobbing and a small slap on the wrist. At best, she will die protecting her after realising how retarded her plan was to begin with.

Yeah, I'm not really fan of how author does plot twists in recent chapters. It's like characters are acting dumb just so the plot can move to the situation that author wanted to set up.

I guess writing was never that good in the series, and there were glaring issues with how OP the stone wife was at first, but at the beginning it was fun at least. Now we're in the middle where antagonists triumph over main cast, like in "Empire Strikes Back" or when Fellowship of the Ring separated, and the writing issues are glaring since pulling that situation off well is harder to write.

It starts to feel like the story's pulling in too many directions at once. Not that it's particularly hard to get an overview of what happens, but it's hard to get invested.

Oof this was a rough release schedule. At least the yuri-gachikoi character here is more reliable than most.

I don't think its pulling in too many directions at once, I think its got too many plot threads for its release schedule. Also since they're repackaging some of the Japanese imperial wars and believe the powers in play are probably thinly repainted factions, I suspect that a lot of the politics and things about the war points are much more relatable for the native audience.

Don't see the difference.

 

[Al_Azif]

And here I thought Yachiko was one of a kind...

 

[AgniZet]

Man I hope Saku makes it out.

 

[Kushikime]

Thanks for the chapter

Don't see the difference.

The difference is that if you were reading this as a completed work instead of as it releases, you wouldn't notice it as much.

Oh, that's what you mean. The no, I disagree. That difference doesn't matter.

Welp, turns out I need to offer an apology to Minato, I really thought he was the traitor.
