Another week in the books. Let’s chat about manga in the general discussion thread! Feel free to use this thread for questions, comments, recommendations, etc.
Like normal, please be careful with spoilers. I wrote a guide about spoilers in case you need a refresher on how to handle them (also linked in the sidebar).
I swear it is the last week I will mention this series as its final chapter was just posted to Mangadex this past week:
The final chapter didn’t really have any surprises, just tied a nice bow with some loose ends and showed the characters off with a smile to the rest of their lives. This was such an enjoyable little story with a likable cast of characters. There are a couple things that I would have liked to see gone into a bit more, but I don’t think it is enough to take away from a great adult yuri series featuring adult characters and nary a school uniform in sight.
The most recent chapter, 161, has really stuck with me. I knew that the series was approaching its end, but when redacted happened, it made me think we are way closer to the end of the series than I thought. Another interesting bit about this most recent chapter is that there are several things that actually tied back to the content included in the episode that aired on the same day (season 2, episode 12). I really, really hope that this series can stick the landing.
This series passed 200 chapters on Mangadex this past week and I just wanted to give it a shout out. If I find some time I might try to make some pudding to celebrate.
This series wrapped up its most recent arc that has been going on for some time. I have enjoyed this series, but I think that this most recent arc was really dragging by the end. When there are just an endless sequence of new big bads that you have to fight, then it just starts to feel redundant. This series is at its best when it focuses more on the fluffy, family, SOL stuff. The battles are the parts I am least interested in.
Just as a side meta comment, during this past week I haven’t been able to be as responsive to comments/posts as I have in the past. I think it is a good sign that there is enough activity in this community as well as !anime@ani.social that my inbox can look like this after just a couple days:
Keep it up everybody and I apologize if you feel like I have ignored you. I just haven’t had the time recently.
