Ah man, I was really enjoying this manga (I jumped in after finishing season 1 of the anime, which is spectacular), but all of these tournament arcs are really, really wearing me down. The Harvest Festival in particular has been exhausting, and it looks like it's followed almost immediately by the Music Festival, and I'm just. So tired. T_T It's like bnha all over again. Great manga, great characters, but the endless tournament arcs where honestly very little is at stake just wears me down until I eventually lose interest entirely, which is a crying shame because I genuinely LOVE THESE CHARACTERS SO MUCH. Is the rest of the manga just going to be one "rank promotion opportunity" after another until it eventually ends 800 chapters from now...? Or will they get back to the character dynamics that made it so endearing in the first place? If it's the former, I may have to pull an Inuyasha and drop it for years just to skip a hundred or more chapters and see how it ends. Maybe the mangaka will give us a break after the Music Festival. -_-
I do want to thank the scanlators, though. You guys are real heroes, and thank you for bringing this manga to life!!!
