It's so bizarre seeing the polarization in these comments. I can't see how someone can read this high-impact chapter and somehow be disappointed.
Like, Koga is finally becoming confident in herself and who she is and she's pushing back on those who don't respect her...in what world is that worse than "people go on a trip to a music festival, where nothing in particular happens and because it's a manga we can't hear the music anyway"? That was the arc I thought was a little boring. (Although with the low page count, nothing really drags in this story.) This one is fantastic.
All I can think is that maybe there are people who wanted the story to be something other than an ode to badass gender non-conforming lesbians, but like...that was the premise from page one, so...
Obviously no one has a problem with her character developing, come up with a less childish straw man next time. The problem is the format, and the authors obvious inability to handle emotional moments and character development in it.
Literally 2 pages ago she was having a crazy mental breakdown, then 2 pages later we’ve had a week long time skip and she’s done a complete 180 in personality seemingly entirely for the purpose of drawing one panel that the author thought would look cool.
And it’s funny that you point at the original premise of the manga, since the author seems to have entirely forgotten that. Again, this format works for a dumb rom com scenario like the title suggests, and that’s mostly what it was at the start, but it is absolutely incapable of delivering on moments like this that are supposed to be emotional and pivotal points of character development, and it feels even worse after the borderline filler that 90% of the last 50 chapters have been.
