This current arc had a really slow start, the premise was a bit odd, but most of all the arc suffered from lack of focus, an obvious byproduct of featuring so many characters within the same arc.
Things are finally starting to pay off in recent chapters, so it kind of burns to caught up just when the story was getting interesting.
Ryo clearly didn't learn anything seeing as his plan is to shoot the old teacher as soon as he finds him, even if I can at least understand his logic better in this case.
Ango semi-breakdown on his boy-crush Arashi was pretty good, though they couldn't have chosen a worst moment to go their separate ways. Especially dangerous for Arashi.
Natsu was clearly not thinking when she decided to go after Arashi with a delay, and the results that followed where of no shock, though her finally starting to get closer to Semimaru was satisfying to see, and I really liked the scene where she talked with Hana, very good moment.
The series is at an awkward stage where there's still a lot of potential development for several of this characters but at the same time, with everyone finally meeting up, it feels like we're starting to reach the end game of the series.
Most of all I'm frustrated with the realization that the series is 12 year old and that I'll now have to painfully wait for each chapter individually.
