same, i'll keep reading probably but it's strange to realise i've largely moved on from a story i used to adore and characters i couldn't get enough of either. but in fairness i don't think it's just that we moved on - the story has lost something imo, something of its former essence and inspiration. the arcs feel lifeless and half-assed, and i don't even blame yamane for this bc inspiration probably comes and goes when you've been writing the same characters for so long. but i do miss the days when these two had me riveted, when the focus was on the intricacies of their dynamic + their respective personal stakes and there was a nice balance between fun, fantasy and character development, instead of the current gimmicky, low-budget-action-movie arcs where none of the characters have much personality anymore. i'll always have affection for this manga but it ain't like it used to be
Same this used to be my shit and now i realize that its just another cliche story
yes!, I followed this manga since 2012, I was bored in my house and saw this as the number 1 favorites. I was rooting Aki and Asami, but somehow I love Feilong x Yoh (hahaha, that was years ago). I even read lots of fanfics and made a feilong x yoh fanfic! haha.
now I am getting closer in Asami's age, so many "woke" ness inside me and turned this story didn't grow old with me and I even getting mad when the last arc (that insomnia troupe) so I left. I hope sensei will finish this soon because I can see her getting loss on her own story, can't really blame her.
I guess we really do grow up and change after all. I used to be so obsessed with Aki and Asami. It led me to discover the BL universe and this website. But the last arc felt so dragged and unnecessary it made lose interest. I barely care now and it somehow makes me feel sad. I was enjoying it so much. To the point of devouring fanfics and spending hours on forums and stuff. It used to bring me contentement during dark times in my life
