Oh, as far as progressing the story... yeah it's on the same spot. But I didn't mind it, thought it was a fun chapter, I blame more the weekly nature of manga and how short chapters are to meet time limits... and that we're up to date with the releases makes us more impatient.

It would piss me off more if it were something like Berserk, where we go months without chapters, then we get a new one and the story doesn't move anywhere. But it's fine once in a while to have chapters like this one in my opinion.

My policy with dealing with stories that has demons, witches, spirts, etc. is to ignore all the "age" crap that they feed us. I don't think I have ever read a story that dealt with this and didn't contradict itself in some form or another. So, I'm going to choose not to have a headache on this one trying to find how things work on this regard.
