We had such a good cast of enjoyable characters going, and now we only have the not-so-exciting Kouta and the infuriating Emma on this journey that wasn't supposed to happen if not for her betrayal. Seeing Raku and Lenala helps a little, but I miss Clara, Ria, Fiine, Akito, Gary... even Elke.
I miss better times from this manga when some people were only complaining about Akito's existence instead of this entire drawn-out stinker of an arc. I knew the saintess plotting was bad, but boy, little did I know how bad everything would get once her plan was set in motion.
