Yeah, also joining the bored crew... I hardly bother clicking on chapters anymore. This new arc is convoluted, and I'm totally lost. Wasn't Shirayuki supposed to go around making the lords sign an OK paper to have flowers along their roads in winter or smth? So she could earn enough cred to marry Zen? I don't mind some sidequests, but chapters upon chapters of sitting in tea rooms, making obscure references, inuendos, and playing mind games, is growing seriously tedious. It's not why we came to this series and not why we grew to love it.
