In the end of the day, it's all childhood grudge.

No sé, no puedo evitar sentir que este penúltimo tomo me parezca un alargue. O bien no tiene la suficiente urgencia que requeriría el estar tan cerca del final. Más todavía en una obra que abarca tanto como esta.

I'll be honest and say that I am getting disgruntled. We are on the last few volumes and that is not the time to be adding in integral characters and inserting them into the back story as if they were there all along! Plus, depending on the final outcome, I'm going to be really annoyed if there was a cheap, intentional feint just to confuse the readers about the identity of the Friend one more time. The series is wrapping up so I understand that the author may feel rushed, but there's already plenty of good content, characters, and twists in this series to work with. I think there would need to be an extraordinarily good reason to make some of these wonky plot decisions.

Sorry, Urasawa. I still like your book and I want to hear your ending.
