I would’ve never dreamed we’d see Kotone high-five someone.
On another note - yes, it is sort of strange to see a mention of time passing in this.
It’s possible that it is winding down - that Anbe-sensei is heading to a finale. As I said before, I assumed he drove a stake through the heart of the valentines shippers so he could go back to just comedy without all the distracting harem overtones, but it could well be that he did it just to tie up loose ends.
It’s kind of neat to have this feeling that something’s going on with this manga. It was very good but it had definitely settled into a rut of episodic goofiness with a side of fanservice. Not that there’s anythong wrong with that - it did a great job of it. But still, it’s just sort of exciting to see it evolving.
And I still want to find out what happened on White Day, and suspect that we will - maybe even for the finale.
That high five panel surprised me too. With the dramatic perspective and the lack of dialog, it almost felt like it came from Akebi-chan instead.
I think there have been enough signs now to say that they are laying the groundwork for the eventual end of the series. It might be a ways off yet, but the axe has been raised.
I will be sad to see this one go, but it has been going for a long time at this point and I don’t blame the author for wanting to try something new. I still have a lot of Ika Musume to catch up on.
This chapter feels a little weird in that time is progressing. The Mystery Research Club has been in a perpetual state of neverending school up to this point. So, to hear them talk about graduating feels weird.
