I Really loved the opening arc of Shy, it was my absolute favorite of the whole thing and was this amazing Plateau I'd found so amazing.

I was not a fan of the Ninja arc I felt it dragged on for longer than it should have considering it's placement in the manga.

I've enjoyed things here and there little moments of good characters and interesting decisions

But none of it really felt like it reached that original peak I'd loved so much, just kinda felt like I'd seen the best the story had and was just kinda trailing along for a good story that had made me feel all the huge emotions it was going to.

I'm so glad I was wrong. I finally got that feeling again and I'm so glad I've kept reading along with this for that moment.

Okay, that was good. That panel with her biting her lip to hold back tears really got me. There were a lot of questionable writing decisions in this arc, but now that we're here, I won't deny the emotional impact. Now let's hope it wraps up quickly because the arc fatigue is real.

It tends to have ups and downs, the latest raw is peak.

I feel the overall plot writing in this series is hit-and-miss, but all of the character writing and dialogue is consistently great. The mangaka does a great job of building up to and delivering emotional moments through the dialogue and art.

Also want to add that I really liked the origin of the name "Lady Black", that was revealed in this chapter. Pilse wanted people to associate black and darkness with hope instead.

This series feels important to me, I am not sure if I can put it into words. Thanks for the continued translations.

 

[Erricane]

So that's why she calls herself Lady Black. Amazing. I keep telling people. They're really missing out on this series.
