Given how long shonen series are, I wouldn't be surprised if this series is following a 3 act structure, so in other words, we're now one third of the way through the story. Could be wrong, but it's an interesting thoughtPart One is crazy work. It seemed like the opportune time to wrap up the series, but there were some loose threads still. It must be popular enough, so we’ll finally get to see what’s up with that young swordsman who nearly got taken out.
