the creators focus on the fractured person's love drama feels out of place. Hope this is actually going somewhere.

Same Dudeguy, same. The gay octopus drama is so boring. I was seriously expecting him to jump from vessel to vessel trying to find happiness and become "better" by absorbing memories of his victims. And it seems like it will all turn out like with the monkey-rape guy that he will die in the fight against big bad evil guy of this castle, with no connection to MC. At least monkey was interesting to watch in his pursuit of "happiness"

I'm ready for Jagan to shoot the bodysnatcher. This feels like the author is stalling for some reason, which is awful. Backstory for the bug bros was fine, because it gave them depth and gave reason for their superhuman crimes, but this bodysnatcher dude just isn't interesting. Guy just hit the New Game + button, and it's boring as all hell. Plus, the sex scenes are ruined (for me at least) because that's a dude inside a fleshy puppet, not a hot woman.
It would have been interesting to try others vessel, to have a better understanding of the society.
But no this looser got stuck with the girl body and want to be fucked.
And if in the end he dont even meet jagasaki it would have been useless.
If the lesson is "being a girl is easy and bring you more attention and hapinness" we got it. Can we move on author ?
What are you trying to make there ?

I mean, it’s not like this guy wants to kill anyone. The girl he is now died because he absorbed her. And her life is pretty much great in his perspective. Unless everything blows up in his face and her life becomes ruined, I don’t imagine he’d be interested in killing someone else and taking their identity. He hasn’t yet taken that step of actively taking another’s life yet since the first time was by accident.

lul I feel like I'm the only one enjoying the side series more than the main plot. I think that it put a lot of people out of their comfort zones but having read a lot of reincarnation/body swapping stories I got used to it and prolly not feel as much weirded out.
Anyway, the main plot has gotten stale for me... First it was all about reviving ex girlfriend -> meets Bell -> postponing ex-girlfriend's revival (goal) going on dates & enjoying my new comfy police skat life + criminal of the week.
Chihaya was an interesting plot point but now he's just like suddenly gone you know. Then the author introduces us to those new villains (cool designs though) but I couldn't be too interested (feels too much like typical shounen action formula like Bleach/Naruto/Fairy Tail) where only bad guy dies and important innocent lives are lost (the recent arc we've got a few innocent lives lost but nothing compared to the beginning of the manga where Jagaaaaaaan was forced to shoot some "innocent" possessed people). Now those intentionally half-fractured humans feel a bit lame in comparison.
The birds and frog origins are never really explained... Maybe the author gottem' cold feet and wants to use Jagaaaaaan as a tool to explore non-protagonist (the mob's life) with Roba and Yadori's POV? I like it because it is fresher than the action arcs, Jagasaki is too "strong" and it doesn't feel that much epic anymore eh, like swatting flies level right now.
I want more chaos and it's waaayyyy too peaceful right now. Right now it's more chaotic with the share house stories which is maybe why I enjoy it more because it's less predictable. (srsly nobody expects Jagasaki to actually die to people while he's in SKAT right).
With Roba I felt like the author was trying to explore the hypothetical scenario where a virgin (which a large population of Japan is) got on such a power of authority. But it was way too adventurous and put people out of their comfort zones (I expect more female readers than male readers). And now the body swapping guy is putting what I reckon a lot of male readers out of their comfort zones... but instead of privileged life > mob life, the author has way more venture to explore than one way ---> presenting psychological illustrations of what makes an "identity"... is it the body or the mind? What is the "I"? We see that Yadori has chosen to keep going with the Airi life because he thinks that he can have it easy that way, but the previous chapter presented that after a few months with Junpei he's still not totally satisfied. Right now instead of "carving his own life" he decides to "passively play out Airi's life using her past memories that he's absorbed". I expect that author will tackle these questions and there might be future character development at the end of the road (Roba is a rapist thorough and thorough---which is way harder to develop/redeem imo so he got killed since it didn't go anywhere).

Damn, the author understand how women think like he's one himself. Oh! Maybe the frogtopus trans experience is biographic.
@lock
He clearly know that he is not the girl. He just deny it but he know. He Would have schyzophrenia otherwise.
And you are right unless something happen he will stay in the girl body.
Explain me on what its interesting, will he have a good ending ? We all know that thise is not the vibe jagaaaaaan. He will screw everything up.
You are right about jagaski being overpowered ( look like a shonen power up manga now ) defeat strong ennemies get stronger -> repeat
It was funnier when those frogs could appear from nowhere, infecting random people. I agree with you the chaotic part was good.

Thanks for working on this series!
Tbh I like the fights more coz they have a certain charm to them, but this subplot is actually way better than that guy making sex slaves
