As much as I love the side characters (particularly Makoto's people), I don't really like the large focus they've been putting on the heroes. I don't mind reading through a few chapters of them, but recently, it seems that most of the panels have been dedicated to the fight between the heroes and the demons. Not trying to diminish their importance, but I really don't care about Hibiki or Navarre or any of them and if I could be a little bit cold, everytime I read a page, I just wanted to skim through all of it until I could see a glimpse of Makoto.
Here's hoping the next chapter(s) go back to being about Makoto. I love the side characters, just prefer Makoto more lol.
