I, personally, like the other stories. It really helps set up the strange world that the characters live in.
That's an excellent way of putting. I'm with you, the other stories are interesting and definitely help define this world.
how funny, i was just thinking that. i gave up on this manga after all the side characters starting taking over. i care about the main characters and at this point their issues have not changed. cant the mangaka deal with the main characters and move on to the others? instead of leaving their story undone?
yeah, because usually, you finish the main story first before putting on the side stories :/
Main story progressed nicely at first then suddenly Kunimasa and Norio relationship took a sudden set back where Kunimasa decided to leave Norio. That would be okay too if the mangaka paced it right.
But after Kunimasa left, their story progress slowed down so much the mangaka even have the time to stop and focus on the bear couple for a chapter. I wish the mangaka focus more on Kunimasa and Norio.
Is anyone else super annoyed that the main characters are norio and kunimasa yet after 44 chapters we've seen basically everyone else's story except theirs?? Like I came for norio's story in dealing with this weird thing happening to him but like he's made almost no progress because the mangaka spent so much time telling other side characters stories I couldn't give two shits about. Norio is the fucking main character 85% of chapters should be about Norio not fucking 15%
