The dodge ball arc turned out better than I thought it would. It’s interesting seeing Mochi go all in on these big shonen style action arcs, and they pull it off pretty well. It’s also nice seeing all the love for the side and even background characters. The attention to the side characters and their relationships is something Mochi has always put effort into in their stories and they’re especially good at doing it without taking away the spotlight and energy from the main character.
With this second action-packed arc coming to a close, I’m really starting to wonder if an anime adaption is planned for this story.
On a side note, it’s sad to hear that Black Rose is moving on. They did such an awesome job with their translations, and you knew they loved the story. I hope everything is ok with them. Super thanks to the new translator for taking the initiative to work on these chapters. They did a fantastic job and I hope they will continue.
