Please please please, I plan to let this series marinate until next year, so I hope the updates are consistent. Of course, I understand authors need to take breaks, so I won't be so unrealistic as to ask for weekly updates, but I just really hope that its enough chapters to the point I can binge read them without any major cliffhangers by the time I come back.
Sending all the goodluck, wealth, and stability to Nii Saturo (author) so that he can continue creating the upcoming chapters without any troubles whatsoever.
For my fellow readers who plan to continue reading upon each update, I wish you luck as well. Cliffhangers back to back is not for the weak, I am most certainly one of those weak people which is why I plan to let this arc pile up chapters before reading. See y'all next year!
Whoever uploaded that as chapter "57"... I'm sending Solo Pastry to slime ur ahh for giving me false hope
Jokes aside, what the hell are the furin kids gonna do??? Not only is the Red Chanpuru territorial like Bofurin, they've been at it for decades which amps their hostility to outsiders to the max.
Whether Suo-fei came to Bofurin as a spy or out of his own personal interest, now it's gotten him caught up in a tight spot. Technically, he's made an official resignation to cut off all ties from Bofurin, going so far as to revoke his student registry there too. But we all know Sakura & his friends are stubborn and will insist they at least get a clear explanation on why Suo-fei stuck with them for so long.
He could've left when things were at their worst during the war arc, yet he stayed and fought with them.
With the current situation, it seems they'll make a trip to Red Chanpuru's island (it'll likely be a select few too so as to avoid sparking conflict since they know how territorial that faction is). Most likely, they'll ask to meet Suo-fei and demand an explanation but it'll be seen as the furin kids being hostile, thus escalating into a full blown "fight us if you want to meet (insert person)" scenario.
I'd also like to include my speculation that Suo-fei probably made an agreement to stay in furin under the condition he only be there for a semester max. He must've felt suffocated or bored out of his wits in his hometown and wanted a change of scenery. But look who ended up getting attached to the point he allowed one of Bofurin's weakest members (Nirei) to punch him, just once, as a sign of his guilt and form of 'punishment' for letting his feelings get to him.
Suo-fei, if you're being held against your will under some obligation or promise, blink twice. If Red Chanpuru is that territorial to the point they're strict about not letting anyone leave the island for another place, it'd be an even worse outcome. Furin kids are NOT gonna be able to take down a whole island that has experienced adult fighters in it dawg
Bit of a spoiler, so if you haven't read the recent chap, don't read this!
Anyways, I think it's half confirmed that Amadoro and her family faction are under mind control. You can see the subtle detail within their eyes. Each of the ladies from the Ribboncandy family have a little white dot in the center of their pupil, Amadoro herself included. It's the exact same white dot that the evil witch has (forgot her name, forgive my memory, its been weeks since she's been introduced). Going by that logic, it's highly likely we can tie that detail to the possibility that the evil witch indeed has a mind-manipulation majik up her sleeve.
Take this theory with a grain of salt, it's just based on my observation & speculation so far. But if it does end up being fully confirmed, that makes this evil witch all the more deadly since this means her kill count may be higher than just thousands considering she could've orchestrated indirect murders through controlling others and no one would even be able to link it to her unless they were aware of her powers.
holy #goat theory this has to be true on my life
Everytime i come back to this series, its always some new plot arc going on. I'm practically making a bet that the author plans to do every single troupe in existence before ever retiring this series, cause they were not exaggerating when they said the plot is nonexistent in this story LMAOOO (not complaining tho, just find it hella funny its still ongoing despite the plot constantly changing each arc)
I thought it’s just me and I dont understand the plot. Coz it’s different everytime
Considering that even Endo is encouraging them to give up, this group must be hella crazy. Do you guys think this'll be another battle arc? Like the one where Furin was on the defensive against Endo & Chika, but this time Furin has to go on the offence for the sake of one member.
Suo, you better be glad your classmates saw you as a good friend cause they boutta go to war for your ahh (literally).
Also a little worried for the furin kids too considering they're all currently in their teens. The group Suo's in sounds a lot like a yakuza type thing so there's a huge possibility they'll be fighting against adults with years of experience in fighting against other gangs.
I better not see someone pull up with a blicky in the upcoming arc
They searched for three weeks.
Endo did it in one day.
They asked everyone in town for help.
Endo did it in one day.
Just how wide is this man's connections--scratch that--how much money does this crazy guy have to have hired and expended capable man power to find someone who likely faked almost everything about their personal information. Hell, we aren't even sure if Suo is his real name until it's confirmed otherwise.
*two weeks (mb just noticed my mistake now)
Oh, that's true, he was just introduced as Suo and said that’s what people call me. All we know is that he supposedly has some type of master who trained him to fight.
I really hope the 'traitor' (won't spoil the name for now since ik some of you have a tendency to read comments before catching up with the latest chapters) turns out to be mind controlled.
It's also a tad bit unfair if they're fully confirmed as a 'traitor' considering the fact we've barely delved into the other major witches' backstories yet, so this'll either be an expected "plot twist" (since it feels so out of nowhere to the point its obvious they're just being manipulated) or one of the top ten worst writing moves in history (the reveal of them being a 'traitor' will fall flat due to the lack of lore & emotional investment on a character who's own name hasn't been reveal till today).
i think the manga is really just short on the writing aspect. the art and character designs are amazing, but it's expected from osamu nishi. she never disappoints in these aspects. however, i do think that the writing feels a bit lackluster. not entirely great, not entirely bad, just okay. i feel like it could be better. this is just my own opinion on the manga though.
plus, it's only been a few chapters anyways. maybe it will get better as the manga progresses.
apologies for the grammar mistakes lol
I think so too, can't really blame her though considering she has another ongoing series that she's been writing for years now (mairimashta iruma kun) so I understand the struggle of trying to focus the writing style between different stories as a writer myself.
My critiques are mainly on the fact that the whole story feels too "plot armored" considering that majiks are portrayed to be difficult to acquire & extremely deadly at times. But I suppose what balances it out (in my opinion) is the fact that the MC's team has THE greatest witch (it would be nonsense to make her lose easily just for the sake of plot), and the fact they have Uroro, king majik, on their team (albeit they only use him once per 3 days considering Ichi's magic output isn't good enough yet).
There's also the current ongoing argument about the "lack of deaths" so far, but seeing that the time majik got erased, there's hope that the author won't try to baby the series by avoiding adding such themes.
BUT I'm a firm believer on not making any character deaths unless absolutely necessary (ahem VERY targeted towards certain mangas nowadays. Yall jus be killing everybody), so with the way the author is going about it, I'm glad they took the time majik since it was a 'necessary death' in a sense that it was part of the world building mechanic (the baby was "sucking" his power which is likely why majik+human couples with children have never been seen before since their children would eventually take away their parent's power until they disappear. Kinda like a Rose Quartz and Steven situation).
A portion of the fandom's hate for Suo is probably gonna peak after this chapter, but I'd like to put in my two cents & state my speculations here before yall start crucifying him like on chapter 211
We all know he's confirmed to be an established officer at Red Chanpuru. Which is why it's so "odd" that he chose to be a key figure within Bofurin (a vice captain of Tamon team 1st year). He put his 'official address' given to the school under an empty lot, he does NOT eat in public & only drinks no matter the occasion, and he ensures that the info he gives about himself is either false, surface-level, or extremely vague.
It's likely he made a deal with someone over at Red Chanpuru to be able to school at Furin until he graduates but was suddenly called back due to circumstances. Why make friends when you'll only be there for 1 semester? Why take up such a noticeable position? Why bother personally training one of the students there & risk the chance of forming a bond with them? The outcome I theorized practically answers those questions.
Not to mention, it's clear Suo, or rather Sun-fei (his true name), knew that no one at Furin would care enough to dig deep into his personal business unless necessary. After all, he would've been caught earlier if his friends had felt like stopping by his fake address to pick him up or hang out.
I do feel bad for Sakura & understand why he's hurt, but just know that Sun-fei most definitely feels the same amount of pain (if not, more) as he does. Knowing the author, they'll definitely make up after this arc, so don't sweat it (just deal with the angst for now )
love you for this
