Alright I made it to the end! This chapter was fun, Katsu!
So the next arc takes place in the sea! of course Rokuro and Kagi immediately get in trouble when they arrive lol (A theme of the whole contest if you ask me 😂) As always, the setting is so vivid and strong! That really has been the strong suit of this story. You really do a great job giving details and making the place feel lived in. I'm really loving the idea that they go from place to place, practically new worlds each time hunting for a particularly slippery villain. Each new region kinda feels like a flavour of the week, which is cool.
Kagi and Rokuro were a very cute combo btw. I think there's more they can do to grow their bond/relationship, and I think that the previous arc did a good job bringing them together. But I'm really hoping for more! I want their ship to sail far and strong!
I kinda' agree with Mario that the cliffhanger does push the bounds of the satisfying ending requirement, but I can honestly see this as the type of epilogue that just teases something silly that just shows that the characters are still alive and well after the story ends. I'm not sure how to articulate my point, but it's like a goofy after credits scene that may or may not come to tease its own movie. I'd have to read the chapter again to see if that idea sticks with me, but that's just my surface thoughts.
Overall, a good read! I'll be working on a proper review soon, so look forward to it!
