If you think an editor or anyone else is responsible for this being insane, you have not read any of this author's other works.That would be better story-wise, but I don't think in their editor's eyes it will be interesting enough in the long run so they probably told the author to dial up the crazy and here we are right now.
Had to do something to try and retain the readers that were about to drop the manga due to the NTRHe drew them in the very beginning then they got less and less frequent and magically disappeared from subsequent chapters. Hope they're here to stay this time.
Autumn and Chrys have moved moved on from Ichi (which is fine), while Eliza has not.Autum's intelligence has come a long way. Chrys has had some character development as well. Eliza is just kinda like meh. I guess that is part of her character ark.
