Sakamoto Days - Chapter 201: Shin ending up shooting his father wasn't too surprising. But him protecting Shin ultimately showed he cared for Shin despite how he acted. I am curious how Shin carries this aspect in the present day.
Ichi the Witch - Chapter 22:
First things first it does seem that the guilt Desscaras has for taking Ichi away from his home is true. His whole life changed.
Like much mentor student relationships she seeks to protect Ichi. Clearly seeing her little brother in him, but more how unfair it is for him to die due to some stupid prophecy. To add on top he doesn't seem to value his value too much.
She does make the point of dump her silly problems on him, but in essence protects him from the world dropping its problems on him. And decide his fate for him.
Curious when it will kick in for Ichi. That moment where fear will cause him to pull back when he normally would push forward.
Great chapter in characterization for Desscaras. Kind of the point the adults need to act like adults.
The Elusive Samurai - Chapter 191: From the earliest part of the series it is surprising to think that the brotherly bond between Tadayoshi and Takauji is torn. Because of the power struggle for Takauji existed, Moronao and those from the military sought to tore them apart. Using Takauji's biological son as the root of it. Tadayoshi truly is Tadafuyu's true father.
For the most part of this story, Tokiyuki's beliefs always coincided with fleeing to live. This plays around the part of marriage should be about who you love rather than a political decision. Of course, this relies on the military being able to hold its own. I do love that we see that for Tokiyuki he only wanted to marry for who he loves as well. As his love is with the 3 girls.
Akane-banshi - Chapter 146: As we see the crowd yawning more and more, it feels like Issho idea of Akane going to France is how to use more than just words for her Rakugo play. After all, a yawn can be contagious. She had to use Rakugo to communicate with a foreign country, which isn't easy for someone at first.
Centuria - Chapter 42: We see that Julian had anticipated the attack on Diana and the others. Makes me wonder if Lucas is a double agent?
The author really knows how to keep the tension going when writing and drawing Inori's performance. Much like with Riina we get an anticipation that Inori put her best jumps first. Then we get Koichi mentioning Inori is landing her stuff much more consistently then the other girls. Rather than playing the odds or putting a big risk to get extra points, Tsukasa is basically having Inori really master her skills. Intriguing to use a strategy that older skaters use. Though the comment that Tsukasa's ice skating prowess has had an effect, it's cool. Though finishing strong with a double axel + euler + triple sachow. The insane part is how Tsukasa put Inori in a position to make that an almost sure thing.
More and more, we see the influence Tsukasa has on Inori and how he might be the perfect coach for her. The effort Tsukasa is putting for Inori goes without saying. Though their victory to think how far Inori has come from where moments like this seemed nothing but a dream for her. Just to think that she would cry from her dreams since she never thought they would come true is depressing to hear.
Though the switch to Tsukasa was good because after what Inori did, the other coaches should be impressed. Though the more alarming thing is that the other coaches thought that Shinichiro coaches Hikaru and didn't know Jun is the one that coaches her. The moment when Shinichiro realized that Tsukasa knows Jun coaches Hikaru it makes you think, why is he hiding the fact? To protect both Hikaru and Jun? Where did Hikaru come from? Why does Jun need to be protected from the media?
Curious for Shinichiro to want Tsukasa to see Jun skate on the ice. Though Jun's curiosity grows on Tsukasa and he has highlighted a skill Tsukasa progress. He can examine the little things and these small things steady improve his skating until he can do a backflip like Jun. Though why does he push Tsukasa back to ice skating? Could it be possible that Jun can't go back and Tsukasa clearly can? Still, the most interesting thing is when he declared like him, Hikaru would win Gold in every event she participates in. Which is an insane goal to have. Still happy that Tsukasa doesn't lose heart here.
It's a bit depressing for Rioh there was a lack of tension in his event compared to the girls. A top 3 where only 2 competed. Obviously, pride to the best score is there, but you want competition in any sport. Though here we get our first impression of Iruka who displayed a fantastic performance. Really showing what strong core strength can help you ascent the moves you can perform. Though the one thing even more clear is her attitude. Though why is she so cruel to Inori specially? There is the comment of Inori's sister having to quit and Iruka didn't want to hear what Inori had to say. Though much like how Inori defended Tsukasa from Rioh when he changed coaches. We see Inori defending her sister. Though the only weird thing is Iruka picking on an elementary school student. Although they will be competing against each other next year so it is best to make an impression with her.
A fascinating part in the story here is that Inori did win a gold medal. However, how she did it put her in an awkward position here. Unlike the rest of the girls, she can't land a Triple Lutzes. Kind of shows that perfect Inori's sure moves could come back to haunt her. Though Tsukasa should know this, so what could he be planning here?

Plum Blossom Swordsman might be Return of the Mount Hua Sect.
Season 2 ended December, and I see heads saying the break between seasons was 8 months last time. I hope the break isn't so long...Season 2 was great, and the story has only gotten better with each arc.
The other title might be Reaper of the Drifting Moon...I haven't read it, but I have it on my shortlist for future reads.
Yeah shyt was fire... Stopped outta no where...
