About 9 months. And yes, poo poo is realer than real in the raws. I am very pleased with the direction things are going and glad that this little gem of a manga is getting the ending it deserves without the fear of it being rushed or canceled.

Bleach kinda deserved that though. Jitsu wa has always had a coherent direction in mind, even if it goes off the rails every so often into cute-dumb-land.

Multiple years to reach a satisfying conclusion completely squandered on meaningless bullshit?

Seriously, guy was told he gets one story arc to wrap things up, so he goes and introduces a new bunch of characters with an alphabet naming scheme.

When he's written into a corner he just fills in the gaps from his previous chapters to create an entire new enemy group to fight for dozens of meaningless chapters. Kubo simply cannot handle juggling so many people nor can create a world that feels expansive. His writing is like the mmo expansion packs of manga. Check out the new spaniard inspired skeleton men and the German whatever the gently caress I didn't even bother to read it and that group of fullbringers that literally did not matter in the grand scheme of things.

Kubo has admitted when he's out of ideas, he introduces new characters.

He is out of ideas a lot.

He is also very good at character design.

That's probably the one thing Kubo is good at which is a shame.

I probably wouldn't mind a manga by Kubo if he was only doing the art while someone else wrote the story. I'm sure Togashi could use the help.

I feel like I remember Kubo saying something to the effect of intentionally minimizing backgrounds so that the readers would focus on the characters. So, even with assistants, it might just be a directive from above.

It's too bad that that direction is poo poo.

Of course the Mysterious Know-It-All's just as cute and dumb as the rest of the cast :allears: That being said, it was really heartwarming at the beginning, seeing Akane turn from some wicked demon hag into the principal we all know and lo- we all know. Can't wait to see the rest of the plot (and the cast) thicken as well!

EDIT: Also, that monk at the beginning must've been some kind of sennin-level badass to convince Akane to turn over a new leaf, goddam.

Most of the staff is on break right now so here's two omake chapters we haven't done yet.

We may or may not have a chapter next week, as we are out of scanned raws and our raw provider hasn't given me a date for when he'll be able to scan more.

Happy Holidays/New Year all!
