So, Ajimu-chan, tell us about your thoughts on drawn out mangas:

The end to probably the weakest arc in the manga so far? It had incredible moments here and there but it just wasn’t as interesting as much what happened before.
Still really enjoyable and I also imagine that if I could read Japanese it maybe would’ve been a lot more fun, since language is such a big deal in this volume
