SLOW THE FUCK UP.
Jeebus...
Vol. 5 just came out 2 weeks ago, and Kadokawa has made
NO STATEMENT about this Manga series being canceled.
According to Kadokawa, the
Anime was canceled due to the author making some "
racist statements" on social media towards
Korean and
Chinese people. I
don't know what he said, but I'm pretty upset to hear it, as I've been to Korea and loved it; and, while I
despise the
Government of the
PRC, I've
never met a Chinese person with whom I did not
immediately become friends.
So I think that's pretty fucked up.
That. Said.
Kadokawa has been
slow-rolling their publications, ever since they had that big "
cyber attack," and the author/mangaka has been in
poor health since April of 2024. This has made the LN adaption take a while to publish, and has been difficult for readers to keep up... making the overall rating (in Japan) go down, because only "New" means "good" in Japan; if it isn't "New," it becomes "bad."
Yes, I think that mindset is idiotic, but it is the reason why we are seeing such a slow release schedule; the manga is no longer "new," and Kadokawa's slow release schedule causes people to forget about reading it... which makes it hard to publish, at all.
They
may wrap this up in the
next volume, they may do
two volumes, the author may decide to
kill it here... or they
may all decide to do the
Five more volumes it deserves!
My
guess is that we will either see an
"official" cancelation after
two-to-five more chapters,
or they will give it their all (ganbatte!) and throw out
Twenty-One more chapters and give it a decent ending... but all my thoughts say it's probably the first option (only 2-5 more chaps?! ðŸ˜).
Yeah, it's
possible they may
shit the bed, and just call this chapter the ending... but they haven't said that they will; not
yet, anyway; not while I'm typing this.
I really hope they don't.
I think Elrise/Arris/Elrize/Elize/Alrise/Aris/(stupid romaji! It's just) Alice deserves a chance to help this world smile.
...
Even if I feel stupid, saying such a naïve and insipid sentence. Honestly.
