Akitsu uses the Power of Love! It's surprisingly effective!

And I do believe Minato just claimed he knows more about the ladies than Asshole Ashikabi. :snigger:

Is it me, or has the art quality gone down? I was having thoughts like, "A five year old could draw better than this!"

I don't recall the art ever being all that good in the first place.

Used to be a ton more fanservice, early chapters were faptacular in that regard. That seems to have been toned down considerable for some time now.

Compare the first chapter to the most recent one.

There is definitely a downgrade of quality. Like the author was just spitting the chapter out as fast as he could slap lines onto paper.

There is definitely a downgrade of quality, which is surprising, as usually, the more you work on a series, you tend to become more efficient and improve on quality.

154 is out. It somehow made me NOT hate Mikogami. And it looks pretty much impossible that Akitsu will join Minato's flock as her past incarnation did unless Mikogami somehow gets killed off and Minato does something to try to save him and Akitsu both from it (granted that's not impossible given Minato's nature.)

Also Higa needs to die already. Preferably in a very gruesome and bloody way, although I don't see Minato being the cause of it.

I blame it on lower quality assistants being involved, and possibly personal issues keeping the QC down.

In all fairness, the series has been limping into the barn since before the start of the final stage. We all know how it's going to end. You will get an epic final battle with Musubi and Karasuba, Musubi will win, she will challenge Miya for the God's Seat and become Queen Sekirei. From there Minato and his whole harem will live happily together in the Maison Izumo like nothing ever happened. Uzume will probably be revived, and everyone will comically chase after Minato after Kazehana tries to cash in on her desire to jump him after the tournament. Miya will giggle politely at the mayhem, but might let Musubi step with her bear instead of calling her demon mask as she is no longer Queen.

This was all pretty much written the second Matsu managed to save Seo and the S&M twins from real elimination. Really, it was settled when Yukari and Shiina managed to escape the third stage and resolved that Minato was taking care of Kuu. Minato will get his wish and stay with his harem as a happy family. Yukari will continue to be a happy little perv with Shiina now that she's over her brother complex. Higa will hopefully die in a fire or worse. The only fate up in the air now is Mikogami's and I give him 50-50 on surviving this stage. If he does he'll have a happier and more functional family with Mutsu, Akitsu, and his other Sekirei. If not I figure Mutsu goes out in a blaze of glory defending/avenging him and Akitsu will somehow end up joining with Minato and the others.

Minaka I think will end up getting killed doing something oddly noble, just like he put himself on the island to save Minato. His personality leading up to Takehito's death stinks of a final redemption for him. Especially when we all assumed until that point that Minaka had Takehito assasinated for opposing him. Minaka is getting humanized to better face his end like a man.
 
I just ran through the whole thing the other day. I didn't notice any real change in quality... though I am annoyed as all hell by the A-Team translators. How fucking childish can you get?

What are you annoyed about? The watermark?
 
Pretty much that. And the watermark stretching across a good fourth of the page. Got really annoying--people will download and distribute to the masses. Get the hell over it.
 
Well, no, they're not--only the one chapter was really bad, and the one after that did it every other page, but it got real old real fuckin' quick.

They didn't have a problem with people distributing to the masses in itself. It's that they didn't wait 24 hours to do so. I don't know why but they always asked (don't know if it's still valid) for people to wait a day before posting the chapters on things like mangafox.

Not when you remember why they started doing it and the circumstances that started their hatred of online viewers.

What was that anyway? I remember seeing notes of it in their uploads, but never bothered looking into it.
 
It had something to do with making back server costs with ads. Looked reasonable to me.

It also had some stuff to do with the Korean author of the Breaker asking them to stop posting that stuff on Mangafox. When people posted their translations anyways, even though they explicitly asked people not to, they got into a tizzy and did the watermarking stuff.

Oh they also use to get some small amount of change per download too to offset server costs. Not sure if they still do that or not though.

I suppose I should have seen that coming...but it seemed a bit random.
