So, like with most things involving heavily traumatized kids, they should’ve just gone to therapy instead of locking-in to murder

Am I the only one who thought the action stuff was fun? The premise is literally "the world's best fighter and killer becomes a maid". IMHO, I feel that having some over the top action sequences really sells the idea better, especially when there are manga out there that try to make a character "the world's best ________", then either have a really underwhelming display of their abilities, or straight up show nothing of what they are supposedly the best at. At that point, why even have them be "world's best"? I far prefer this setup. Show how strong she is, add some fluff, show how much she has changed, take time to build on the snippets of backstory, big display of her strength to show that she's still the best and even stronger than initially shown, resolution (upcoming). We got a full view of the dynamic between the sisters, their past, and their reconciliation. Personally, I feel satisfied with seeing the resolution, but it was supplemented by how author took time to flesh it all out.

Besides, if nothing else, I just think that it's cool to watch a beautiful ex-assassin girl take down a mech with a big sword, while wearing a maid outfit (not mobility-friendly). Sometimes you just gotta enjoy what you're watching/listening to for where it is, not for where you want it to be. And consider this: since the action stuff took a while, now the return to fluff feels all the more gratifying, no? And we have no more urgent questions that warrant another fluff interruption for another long while. Very cool.

No, you’re not. You’re just one of the few that actually comes in here to comment

Great chapters, looking forward to sauce party too. Thanks for the TLs.

I like the idea of including action scenes but the mech was just downright goofy and impossible to take seriously. I can overlook it though, it's pretty peak otherwise.

There are already witches, curses, and vampires in the story, so adding mecha elements wouldn't be too much of a problem, imo. At least the level of mecha technology shown is still acceptable (for me), not at Gundam level.

SAUCE PARTY WITH THE WHOLE FAMILY WAO

 

[ClothoBuer]

What the fuck is even happening in this series? We've gone from goofy/tragic romantic fluff to shonen superpower bullshit?

 

[Haze123553]

Feels like a fever dream i feel like author made the slice of life elements to big when he didn't want this to be a slice of life manga. Hell he even forgot the semi supernatural vampire mother for a while now b

Here's hoping the author got this nonsense out of their system and can now get back to giving me type VII diabetes...💉💉💉

I don't know what about you guys, but to me, the sister is just the "guy riding a bike, make himself fall and blame someone else" meme but turned into a character.

Did you just skip all the flashbacks backstory or something?

Nope, I fully understood it all, and my feelings is as I said. Like, she keeps blaming FMC for everything that happened, even after the reveal, she denied it and keep on blaming FMC, because to her, if she stop blaming FMC, then all of the things she has done would have been for nothing.

No I don't think you understand it at all. Like which part was she blaming the FMC? She was blaming herself if anything

Nothing wrong with the action stuff. But what's off is when author put some supernatural stuffs at that time and suddenly expanded the action randomly out of nowhere like this arc. This kind of concept wasn't introduced in the beginning and imho it's just offputting when author decided to spiced up things out of nowhere without proper setups from before. Looking back, did you see that the initial concept would become like this? The slice of life-comedy-romance manga suddenly turned into supernatural and heavy action with mecha coming out of the blue and a girl holding giant greatsword far heavier than her body? Again, I'm not againts action elements but if only author put it in a more befitting way in the beginning, and developed it in a sensible direction, it would make much more sense.
