I can't speak for the others, for I can say that Area X/Annihilation was at least somewhat on my mind during the design phase!

Ya know, I don't think I care much for Marco.

As a person. As a character, he gives a new edge of hostility to the world around our lead.

Yeah, the gore does tend to be a little hard on digestion.

The romance really came in strong in the second half, which makes getting a full chapter dedicated to it at the end feel pretty good. I'd doubted how the leads related to each other early, but they really did come into their own as this leading couple. Bravo on that score.

Interesting that Ishikawa is explicitly left around, since this feels like a pretty solid ending from which the next chapter would just be cleanup. But in a sense it's nice to have the idea that there could be a bigger adventure ahead for these two.

A nice tense rescue as we move into the finale... just enough time for the couple to really shine against Ishikawa.

So, Renji's transformation is an interesting turn. On one hand, it potentially portends tragedy upcoming. On the other hand, the tone of the story so far is such that I'm more inclined to believe that Hina is going to pull things out, and that we won't have a major loss. But the end is coming, and there's enough weight to darker potentials that it feels like anything could happen.

This feels very much like the threshold of a final arc, and a solid one at that. Hina and Renji just had their bond used against them, now it's up to Hina to show that it can pull them back together as well. Huzzah!

Honestly, I doubted it for a bit some several chapters ago, but your macro pacing is actually quite good, and I think that's the core competency that's really on display at this stage.

Haruto surprisingly logical about this when it also concerns his family, but he has come off as being fairly goal-forward. Hina and Renji's dance here may seem perfunctory, in a sense, but I personally think it's quite needed and well-executed here.

Honestly, I think the human elements in this make it your best chapter so far. Hina's family seems to be mercifully supportive, since Renji is doing a good enough job blaming himself.

A nice initial win for the new and improved team, but I'm looking forward to Ishikawa's play.

Heck yeah, the gearing up phase. This is always a cool turn in a story like this, and you executed the encounter with the not-so-unfriendly government spooks well.

This one feels like we're upping the drama and getting ready for more. I have to say, I'm enjoying it.

I do get the feeling that you're building towards something, especially with the incredibly ironic EMP weapons on the board. It seems like you know full well how that works :)
