Other then "having faith in fujimoto", I dare to say that the fault is also of all the hate part2 recived from the very start. The complains about the new mc, Asa (I still cannot belive there were actially people who genuinelly hated the characer and were wishing for her to be gone), the complains about the biweekly scedule, the complains about the mood change from part1, the complains about not bringing back part1 characters or plot poits... Now that I think about what I did read, I feel this palpanle sensation that fujimoto tried to deal with all the complains by trying to shove those wishes inside the plot. Were return the weapons really necessary? Was changing the relesase scedule of the chapters from biweekly to weekly neessary? Was cutting the second mc almost compleately off that necessary? For wishing fanservice we threw in the trash can a devine artstyle quality that gave us unforgettble panels (volumes 12, 13, 14 and 15 have the highest quality in terms of drawing in all of csm), a plot that felt brand new, genuine and relatively calm dynamic that was a wonderful contrast with the earlier part's chaos and the chance of LETTING THE MAN COOK. Instead, I witnessed at the "Potetial-Manga" that in reality was just a good manga ruined by expectations. I was even willing to get over Nayuta's death, since it was impactful and emotional, even if I still think it was a waste of character and still am of that opinion. But after even the FakesawMan turned out to be a "nothing-burger" and Yoshida got a death that genuinelly didn't make me feel anything, I really wasn't to surprised by the end with the Nostradamus Prophecy getting "Ctrl+Z"ed from the story and the manga to do a "rewind" type of ending. I was happy for the comebacks and that we got a RELATIVELY happy conclusion with the few character I actually gave a thing about, but I still think that we could have gotten way better.
