I was traveling this past week for the holidays and new year. However, there are two series I have been following that ended that I wanted to mention. Also, a new series I found that hits me square in the chuuni-shaped hole in my heart.
I love how much this series leans into making every character extremely weird but still charming, and the ending was no different. The climactic moment was both tragic and hilarious. The author has an afterword where they talk about how they had planned out the ending from the beginning but was nervous to see how it would be received. I think, in the end, it was quite effective, and the fact that it was planned shows as the story very cleanly built up to this one moment that felt inevitable by the end, but remained unpredictable due to the wildcard nature of the main characters. I can't wait to see this story animated later this year and these two truly peculiar girls brought to life.
This is a shonen jump series that just wrapped up. Overall, it was fine, but didn't ever really have anything special about it. I don't have too much to say other than that it was a competent story with some great art. I hope that the author can pivot to a new story in the future. It seems like the author and artist are a bit of a team that only have two credits each on MD for the same series. So, good luck in the next series you two!
I have not tried to keep it a secret that I love chuuni characters. This series features a great chuuni character, but only in flashbacks. It centers around a chuuni that was so chuuni she ended up becoming something like an idol while she was in middle school, but rocking the chuuni aesthetic and affectations. However, she reaches high school and finds all of that super cringe, so she ends up with social anxiety and her former photographer/friend is the one trying to help her break out of her shell and find the confidence that she lost without triggering too many tragic memories. It's very early with only three chapters translated so far, but I have really liked it so far.
