this comment is more of a personal review of the story as a whole.
I loved how you dealt with really heavy themes (confronting limited time to live, winning over adversaries, overcoming personal roadblocks including trauma) in a generally wholesome manner. That is not an easy thing to do and you had a distinctive cast perform it well.
The biggest flaw (from a storytelling standpoint) was getting into very heavy content so suddenly (with Makijime's extreme phobia). Don't get me wrong, its great you went into it, but the feel of light, fluffy and funny of the previous arcs to the suddenly serious and extreme felt like a sucker punch, that some readers may find it too strong to continue. For a reader like me who has a high stress tolerance, chapter 19 and on was a great read that showed just how serious you were about this story.
I loved how everything ties together from the cats being their spirtual bodies which was shown by the cat's reacting to Hikari being the sentiment and symbolizing Hikari as a joker with a playing Deck.
Hopes for V2 (and beyond)
1. Hikari as SC president and the transition
2. Hikari dealing with budding romance (We got ships, be interesting to see how her non-perverted reactions appear)
3. Sending off Kurokawa to rest in piece (If the god of miracles can't do anything...how will Hikari and co deal with helping Yuuto pass on)
Also, bonus my japanese terminology understanding improved with learning Taidama (I'm home) thanks to your story 👍
