I did another reading of the manga yesterday. it's still great.
the problems are the same, weird art that makes distingushing between characters hard, and a really long and convulted final arc and story plan. seriously, what was the deal with getting the final AB to priscilla? it lasted a good 15 something chapters, came out of nowhere and entire chapters seemed to stagger, with them beginning and ending at the same spot.


the good parts are still great, though. the war at the north and the arc leading to it are fuckin' amazing.
