Yeah, you had been keeping the average going pretty well. Though it does vary on your days off. There's a lot of fun coming for you.

Alright, I'll be around. So you can let me know when you're working through it.

I'll be curious what you think of the change to a more Shounen Jump style the second half has. You should be happy with what you learn.

This is true, where you're at is going to be constant cliffhangers to nearly the end of the arc and then there is no stop in the cliffhangers after words.

Yeah, Hiroshi is actually a good guy, but it was also a pretty extreme situation. Though it was clear he had a plan. Well a lot of things happened with Yuki. So there is going to be a lot of things going around. Though you left on a big cliffhanger.

Went already the way through chapter 60 huh? Not saying a lot for having gone all the way. There is a lot that happened to comment on.

You'll be able to learn what happened with Chiharu soon enough. You already know that she woke up from her weird coma.

I had moderate success with that team but I think it's best if I drop down to the lowest tier so that I get the hang of competitive battling before I tackle the upper tiers. Audino, Exeggutor and Mismagius are most likley to make the team as Cleric, Special Sweeper and Spinblocker but if you have any suggestions for other team members I'd be more than happy to hear them.

I went to check and saw the 50 ends a little early for where I should have placed the cliffhanger. Oh well, it is not a huge deal. You just get to learn about it next time. Chapter 50 is more of a setup for the rest. You get to find out what happened to Chiharu and things move forward a little.

Sorceress Knight huh?

Are you free to do what you want. ;p I can only make suggestions and impulses.

Yeah, I already scanned over it briefly to see how it has changed. I'll get to it when I can.

I didn't say it was a method to make you read it. It was a method to make you read it sooner, since as you said you are already planning to read it. So it's still valid. ^^ I'm tricky with my words. ;p

Yup, very important. You'll understand how important it is when you finish it. When you get to the following sub-arc you'll also understand how much of a shift things take and how much more like a shounen jump story it becomes. The second half of the first arc is quite a bit different from the first half. It is more shounen-y than the first part is. And the second arc is very clearly all shounen all the time, though I had a pretty significant dose of character development, which shounen jump tends to lack once the characters are established.

Not so much on that, just impressing upon you the significance of the sub-arc you're about to read. And psyching you up for it. A manipulative method to get you to want to read it sooner. ;p I'm all innocent here, aren't I? ^^

Since you're entering into the major sub-arc for the first arc. You're going to be digging into some really heavy stuff with Yuki. There will be more emotional scenes, very emotional ones. Plus you'll get to learn about Hiroshi's character. And there are the couple of wham episodes near the end of the sub-arc that you can look forward to. This is very important sub-arc for the entire story. Enjoy. ^^

I was wondering what you thought about it. I ended up crying while I was writing it. All of the scenes with Yuki and his family end up being emotional for me. But yeah, it is another sign of everything that he keeps hidden behind the mask he wears around in public.

I wasn't saying I was suddenly going to start being mean. I'm nice by default, hard to change that.

Barely starting on 50? So you finished the short sub-arc with their little trip to the shop?

You're sounding conflicted. Be careful there. ;p

Well you can always read some Shift to make the nightmares go away. ;p

So I shouldn't be nice to you anymore then huh? ;p
