I really do wonder if this is the case with yuri manga at times. So many serialized ones just force some unnecessary completely out of the blue and 100% unfitting drama into their works that it feels like it is, amongst some other tropes, a necessary checklist to fill.I think the editor is forcing the author into it.
I've said this in the first part. This is what happens when author couldn't make plan a new chapter due to the reason such as health issue.This is so fucking flat. It just is a huge pile of nothing ruining whole characters. Feels 0% organic. Fully forced and robotic. Nothing flows.
It isn't because of the drama itself mind you. Both mains were reasonable and fighting the same evil that caused some.. intense stress(?) in Mashiro (questionable writing in itself at this point). It is the way the "misunderstandings" (they really aren't) were forced in with some of the worst conversation possible that makes this so insanely dogshit. Yikes.
