So the story can finally move on from the Chidori/Kikyo rivalry. Legit, it can't be done with something like two chapters. But I just checked and THIS ARC HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR TWENTY CHAPTERS, LET'S MOVE ON PLEASEEEE
And by original work I mean the novel.
The ecchi parts and over sexualisation of teenagers were definitely not needed (although it is mentioned in the novel they have intercourses but it does serve a purpose when here it is totally unnecessary, if anything it really made me uncomfortable) and the characters are underdeveloped and different. Maria became a non-stop crybaby and Saki is way too bold when her character is supposed to be way more subtle. And the events are so rushed istg. I really disliked reading this. The anime did a far better job.
Why do i feel like the author themselves had no idead where they were going with this story...
I just discovered there's an eight episodes drama (aired in 2021). Just started the second episode and it follows the original work so far! The actress playing Aiko is doing a great work, I hate her as much as the one in the manga lmao
Is this going as in the drama?
Yes, at least at some point. The drama follows the story up to a little after where the manga is currently updated (ch. 63). So I guess the drama follows up the manga until somewhere between ch. 65 and 70.
However it mainly focuses on Noburu/Aiko and I disliked the ending (it's basically Aiko winning imo)
Yeah I heard that’s how it ended but so far in the manga it seems like Noburo is going to stop being a pushover.
What's the drama called? I searched it up with the same title but couldn't find it somehow
I found it with something like "Saretagawa no Blue episode 1". It was available on Dailymotion (not all episodes though, I had to watch the two last ones on some other website)
OMG YES THANK YOU
