I'm glad it gets better later, but am wondering how this manga has gotten so bad as of late, starting with the living planet arc. I have to wonder if it's because the novel sucks too or sucks worse. At any rate, my thanks to the translator for sticking to it until the end.
When it ends, by this point I don't think I'll be sad anymore. This has turned into one of those works where I'm just finishing it to get closure.
