Exactly, and that's a good thing. The expired loli ends up being the second-worst character after that blue-haired traitorous bitch.Ikta should be happy to be given the sweet release of death by the author. I guarantee you, I won't be reading Spellblades if Chamile were to ever win the Iktabowl.

Danmachi's Vol 18 for first place, no doubt. The wait is worth it, though not as poignant as Vol 14, it still managed to sell the idea that everyone can use "a bit" of help from anyone. I absolutely adore how "Escape" is used here, something that's usually associated with cowardice is instead used to avoid needless fights that would prevent Bell's ideals from being realized. Also, Ryuu's confession is fucking cute. Now, it would be even more perfect if the editor could go take a hike somewhere, ideally until the series is concluded.

Only as a supplement for my hobby, I don't really see the need to go past N3 if I won't be living in Japan, and I would hate it if something closely related to my enjoyment got turned into work.

Pretty sure it's axed, actually. All the hype died down after it wiggled its way to Kakuyomu, though the author still updated LE in Pixiv every once in a blue moon. It can't be helped though, the three protagonists' dynamic in Mondaiji is what makes it fun, but LE has none of that since the stakes are higher and the powerlevel went off the rails since the very start. Basically, it has the same problem as Shin DxD.

Eh, I thought it's finished already?

What's the story about anon? An urban fantasy series seems right in my alley, but I don't want to jump on the bandwagon too fast lest it turn into another Virgin Road.
