Another week in the books. Let's chat about manga in the general discussion thread! Feel free to use this thread for questions, comments, recommendations, etc.

Like normal, please be careful with spoilers. I wrote a guide about spoilers in case you need a refresher on how to handle them (also linked in the sidebar).

I see the situation you are describing in Please Bully Me, Miss Villainess! all too often. The author has an interesting idea for a hook, it plays out for a couple volumes, and then things become generic after that. I get that it is hard to let a successful series end, but some great short series get stretched into long, generic ones.

Just to clarify - my reaction to the twist has more to do with my expectations than the twist itself. I'm also not finished with the arc focusing on it so things might turn out to better than they appear right now. I'm just not entirely sold on where I think this is going but I might be completely wrong.

I do agree with the general sentiment though.
