I'm not sure if I'm liking the new direction it's going... If I was writing it, I'm sure I'd have made a lot of different choices for, at least Kanzaki. I think it'd have been more interesting that, instead of following the dj, we could have seen something more realistic. I've binged read it all today, and the change of tone is dramatic. It had already changed before, but towards a more developed plot instead of a slice of life.
The thing I was liking the most about this manga was Ichikawa, I found her a very unique MC and very likable. While they continue to treat her well, I'll keep reading it.
If they don't change anything from the dj, the story will end too quickly, and it's a shame, because I'm seeing a lot of potential in it. I'd rather have seen Kanzaki and Ichikawa form a stronger bond due to Kawashima's disappearence. Or Kanzaki tolds Ichikawa what Kawashima is doing and they help her and give her advice. Or maybe (and it can still happen - but I'm sure it won't) seeing Ichikawa falling for a guy. This is a manga, not a dj, so I expect a more developed storyline. Not just a total fuck up of the suspension of disbelieve, where Kanzaki just straight out asks alt-MC to fuck without any inch of hesitation...
I'm probably overthinking it, but I think this series has a great potential and I was really liking the characters. But I'm not sure I like the way it's going. It's... dissapointing.
