What a nothingburger of a chapter. Tool characters that won't ever appear again/be major talking for 27 pages straight to hype up what happened when it all could've been done in like 3-4 panels. This has to be the author buying time with this chapter before going ahead with the main story.

Manga just keeps disappointing for now. We get it. The 70 panels of adult men wanting the teenager girl to love them and lusting for her were enough to hype us up, holy shit. Can we have actual important characters talk again? Please? Marin just leaving without talking to him all day last chapter when she knew something was wrong was so out of place already. I don't need a giga filler right after, man...


And before anyone says "muh storytelling yadayada": The hype is there already. We know what all these men think already. The new men this chapter had like 6 good speech bubbles (when it involved Haniel author). The rest was padding that did NOTHING at all for the manga or storyprogress or worldbuilding. This is a MONTHLY manga. This whole chapter could've been put into 8 pages without losing any content or suffering in quality. This is weak as fuck, fr :(.

Well I enjoyed it. Yeah they could of shortened their conversation but I think it adds well personally. Even tho I enjoyed it I still hope it gets back to the main characters now.

"Well Done". Is this an appreciation or does the author consider it a declaration of challenge to create Haniel with expressions that will be mesmerizing and difficult to replicate? Judging from his expression, we as readers cannot yet see this speculation.

@Stanleyliam1990 "Yeah they could of shortened their conversation but I think it adds well personally."

What does it add well? Or how? Honestly asking, dunno what you're getting at and I am interested to hear.

I have no problem with peeps still enjoying the manga even if the writing has declined quite a bit the past ~8?ish chapters. But the fact is that 90% of what the men said was already known or established to be happening after the most recent chapters. It was legit just them just repeating stuff. The only new things this chapter were seeing the author and him noticing the cosplay (1page), the huge amount of likes and the internet simping for a minor (2pages tops), a bit of interesting conversation (some panels) and... that's it pretty much.

I still unironically think the conversation could be cut down to ~5 pages and it would be infinitely more bearable. This is One Piece anime level almost, you finish that arc and the next episode starts with 5 minutes of repeating in a slideshow what just happened. Cmon.

While I also wish there was more here, I think this chapter was important to truly show the scale of Marin’s performance. Like it’s not just a single offer to become a pro. It’s literally trending worldwide. She’s already a celebrity despite no one knowing who she is.

Dragging it out like this makes the stakes much higher. It’s making me feel like the decision between becoming a pro or staying with Gojo is going to be the same thing as confessing her love for him. In other words, once we get over this drama, I think we’re in the end game (unless we pivot to Marin and Gojo as a couple).

Unlike other similar romcoms, I think this can work if it transitions to them as a couple since the premise is really their shared passion for cosplay (from different angles at least).

I'm guessing that the Haniel author, who is an exacting creator himself will meet Gojo and give him some good mentoring to get him out of his rut. He will respect that Gogo 'gets' the meaning, unlike the anime creators.

That last Gojou page oof, sucks to be him rn. His costume is top tier so maybe he'll get scouted too and then Marin and Gojou will have to make a decision whether to go pro and go their seperate ways or stay together.

Everything was as expected and it was good. I love how Marin and Gojou are making it big, how the new characters are being carefully brought into contact with them. I expect next chap to mostly focus on Gojo, to make us understand his feelings and his overthinking (impostor syndrome?). I am also sick and tired of people complaining for the series being slow paced: get your ass back to shounen manga and let us enjoy slow and steady development.

It's getting really tiresome to see a lot of complaints about this manga. I don't know, but I don't think you guys are forced to read this manga that you clearly don't like, in any way.

Too many people complaining about slow pacing every chapter and not enough people dropping it if the pacing bothers them, sad. It will go back to the regular schedule but saying there’s no progress is crazy. The reactions may not mean nothing to others but there’s a reason why reactions is important especially from Tokio, who is similar to Gojo since they’re both artists striving for perfection in their works and Tokio praising Gojo’s work as being an artist that respects his character is probably gonna pivot Gojo to get out of his depression hole.

Slow is an understatement. I've seen people say that "the pacing will be improved when reading the entire volume." But I'd probably be more annoyed if I bought the book, only to see 6 months of background characters simping for this cosplay.

So 4 long months after the photoshoot started it is it is finally over and we can get actual story and not just "MY PWINCES IS A GODDESS!"...

Low and beyond the Mangaka has discovered another way to spend 95% of yet another chapter with "MY PWINCES IS A GODDESS!"...

At least the artwork was less copy and paste this month I guess, it's a low bar to hit but she just about managed to scrape it.

Genuinely believe the Mangaka just has mo idea how to progress in the story, is too stuck up to ask for help or advice and is just stretching this out for as long as possible whilst hoping she'll come up with the next bit of story before the publisher cancels the manga.

A lot of time wasted to get across that the mangaka liked the cosplay. The final page did do a good job of showing Gojou's reaction to the publicity, but I feel like more focus could have been placed on other characters.

Maybe that's how Marin gets to 'unconsciously' bring out Haniel's character when she cosplayed Haniel, right?
Like low-key she was able to relate because she felt that she can't make Gojou feel her affection towards him

Haniel (cosplayed by Marin) mesmerized Tokio. Tokio is now bowing before his very creation --- what an ironic twist. When he tweeted or reposted Marin, that says it all: he is recognizing Gōjō --- the costume maker of the Haniel cosplay! It's about time we get proper content in this manga series. 😊

Well it definitively doesn't help that if you are as apathetic as me, but holy hell, why is Wakana so damn depressed? And he won't talk to Marin unless Mr.Mangaka himself talks to him and makes him realize that his peefectionist fetish won't be understood by anyone else besides himself (and maybe Marin) which is why no one gives a damn about him, only "Pwincess".

And yes the no-development is killing the manga. I am grateful of the 30 page chapter, but at the same time this felt like a bunch of self insert jokes such as "Mangaka work even on holidays" and "The editors are always pressing" instead of getting to the point.

@marquinti2 I think Gojo needs to meet Tokio without Marin honestly because Tokio has a lot of experience when it comes to mastering his craft even though he’s a mangaka. Tokio is the silent type where he doesn’t compliment unless he means it, same thing as Gojo does when he calls something/someone “beautiful”. I hope when Gojo sees his comment, Gojo can dust himself off and pick himself up again.

Two people cringe-talking about how seeing a cosplay firsthand would've changed their entire outlook over life.

Nothing happening is one thing, but this is just author repeating the same thing, reusing the same drawings, and recycling the same dialouges, chapter, after chapter, after chapter and after chapter. Has been around 10 chapters now.

No doubt this is the lowest we've seen this manga go.

@Greentreefrog This seems really likely to happen.


Overall i think that despite this chapter being okay-ish , i don't like chapters which are mostly people talking about "this character is iterally a goddess", i hope that next chapter isn't more screenshots of Twitter talking about how good is the cosplay, and it's more centered on the fact that Gojo is absolutely destroyed rn
