One weird/annoying thing for me about Kaede and now Akagi is the whole "super regeneration through force of will" thing that they've spontaneously developed in the last couple chapters. Half of Kabane's schtick is super regeneration, and granted his is still much better, but the resident vampire...

@anon763 Well yes, it was probably something that the author brought up with the animation studio since she might have had this scene planned for a while and it would be a neat easter egg made possible by the anime airing at the same time as the manga story getting to that point. Still, when...

@anon763 The translation is caught up with the raws, so the anime started long before the raw for this chapter was released.

@kalton I think their were some strong hints that Kahlua Milk is actually their Classics teacher in chapter one; as in, their face and hair designs are exactly the same.

Wut? The Cocktail Knights have been at it for 20 years? Is that correct? Same girls, or are they on like generation 3 or 4 by now? O_o;

@Mikhail Also possibly, "Character basically at the mercy of someone using them as a toy" vs. "Character grudgingly humoring someone using them as a toy."

The one possibility I can think of for duster-kun surviving is that the fake sword dusted rather than reverting to a severed left arm, like the severed arm that was left over when the other duster bit it. It might just be a function of it being transformed when he died, or of different effects...

@yashirogeek Given the vertical lines on Miyako's face indicating paleness, I'd guess her reaction is more being aghast at the idea of a solo amusement park trip, which in manga is considered the epitome of lonely loserdom.

@Abedeus Ride On King, aka not!Putin isekai, aka best isekai.Edit: ninjaed, and apparently I remembered the specifics wrong. The rest still stands. 😛

@Subzero95 The end tag in Chapter 50 stated that the story would continue in the March issue of Jump SQ, so probably not.

@Tomoemami Photo negative speech bubbles, apparently. I don't think we've yet gotten an explanation of how they differ from regular speech bubbles, but they do tend to pop up when something uncanny is happening.

@cgr In this specific setting it was stated by Thistle that half-breeds of long-lived and short-lived races have both variable life spans and variable growth rates, so it's feasible that Marcille could mature to adulthood at a rate closer to a human and yet still outlive a full-blooded Elf by...

On the one hand, the story remains a mass of dangling plot threads and sorely underutilized characters and story elements, which makes the ending feel a bit rushed and maybe a bit unsatisfying. On the other hand, closing with an uncertain and inconclusive mess does seem like a more realistic...

@nachtness Jump+ is Jump's digital sibling; it's distributed totally online, so if Mr. Editor gives the go ahead we might in fact to be able to hear Deadpool belt one out.

So... I guess Kitsune having healing maybe via transformation isn't too out of left field due to Robara, but if it's that good then Robara's whole box of spare body parts thing seems less necessary and it raises questions of why Kon was out of commission for so long and why previous injuries...
