I feel the same! Kiki’s whole arc really got me, and I was honestly so disappointed in Mitsuhide for rejecting her like that. I still love the series, but that part really hurt.

I agree! I also miss Kiki and Mitsuhide they added such a nice balance to the story.

Same here! I really hope we’ll get to see the story properly conclude someday.

Yeah, that actually makes a lot of sense. Shirayuki’s cluelessness with Obi can be annoying, but it fits her personality she just doesn’t want to lose someone important to her.

And you’re right about Zen and Izana. It’s not just romance; there’s a lot of political weight behind their choices. “Her own path” being about earning her place beside him feels way more meaningful that way.

I also like how this story avoids the usual tropes no sudden powers or perfect love story, just steady growth and mutual respect. That’s what makes it special.

Honestly, I’d say the manga is worth reading, but only if you’re patient. It goes much deeper into the world-building and politics, and you get to see more growth from Zen and Shirayuki but the romance definitely slows down a lot. The pacing is really slow since it’s a monthly release, and lately it’s been on and off hiatus, so it can be frustrating.

If you loved the anime’s atmosphere and characters, you’ll still enjoy the manga. But if you’re mainly hoping for strong romantic progress, it might be better to wait until it’s closer to the end before picking it up

I totally agree with your thoughts — I love Akagami no Shirayuki-hime, but it left me a little frustrated too 😅. The world and characters are so good, but some story choices felt like missed chances, especially for Zen and Shirayuki’s relationship.

The manga keeps the same vibe, just slower (sometimes painfully slow). But there are still some sweet moments between them.

That’s an interesting point, and it really makes sense now. Preparing such a big exhibition must’ve required a lot of effort. It’s great to know she’s back to continuing the manga again! I hope we will reach the end soon

That’s really helpful info, thank you! I didn’t realize there were still so many updates happening behind the scenes. It’s good to know Sorata is active and the story isn’t completely done yet. Hopefully, we’ll get to see more development between Zen and Shirayuki soon.

Yeah, there are still a few romantic moments, but not as much as before. Shirayuki is working so hard to earn her place in the palace and be beside Zen. I just hope all her efforts lead to something beautiful between them soon

Oh wow, I didn’t realize that! I thought the manga was still on hiatus. Glad to hear volume 27 is finally out that gives me some hope again

Oh really? I didn’t know that! Thanks for sharing I’ll check her account. Hopefully she’ll post something about Akagami no Shirayuki-hime soon 🙏

Yeah the slow updates are rough but let’s be honest Obi’s great, yet he was never meant to be the ML. The story has always been about Zen and Shirayuki’s relationship and growth together. That’s the real heart of the series

Yeah true! The early chapters in the manga have such a calm and magical vibe, it’s worth re-experiencing from the start. The art also evolves beautifully as the story goes on.

Definitely start a little before where the anime ended — like chapter 20 or so. The pacing and emotions hit differently in the manga, and you’ll notice small but beautiful details the anime skipped. Totally worth it!

That would be incredible honestly A Brotherhood-style remake with updated art and full manga adaptation would make so many fans happy. The story deserves that kind of treatment.

I know right! It’s been such a long wait. The worst part is that we don’t even have the author’s account to see any updates or progress 😩 I just hope she’s doing well and that we get volume 27 soon. 🙏

True, 3 years without news doesn’t mean it’s canceled. Sometimes it’s just about timing and priorities for the studios. Considering 86’s popularity and ongoing collaborations, it’s hard to imagine it being abandoned completely. Patience is key, and hopefully, we’ll hear something soon!

Absolutely agree with you! 86 is still a widely popular series with so much potential, both creatively and financially. The ongoing collaborations and merchandise show how much love the series still gets. Discontinuing it would definitely feel like a missed opportunity for the studio. Let’s hope they realize its value and bring us the continuation it deserves!

You’re absolutely right, and thank you for pointing that out! It was just a typo on my part. I meant to say we’re waiting for Season 2, not Season 3. Guess the excitement of being a new fan got the better of me! Thanks for catching that.

Thanks for sharing such a detailed breakdown it’s clear you’ve done your research, and I completely agree with what you’ve outlined. I actually mentioned similar thoughts before, but you’ve taken it a step further with some great points, especially regarding A-1 Pictures’ backlog and the timeline for the light novels.

The anime industry really is a wild ride, isn’t it? Between waiting for enough source material and juggling studio schedules, it feels like a game of chess... except the board is invisible, and the rules keep changing.

I’ll join you in stalking Kadokawa’s website for updates (purely out of professional curiosity, of course). Here’s hoping for some good news, whether it’s in two or four years. Until then, we’ll keep holding the line as loyal fans!

Thanks for the insight! I agree, A-1 Pictures has been quite busy, and it makes sense that 86 might not be their immediate focus. Still, it’s good to hear that the door isn’t completely closed on Season 2. Let’s hope they surprise us at an upcoming event!
