Hmmmm I'm not totally agreeing here... but re-reading the whole 20 chapters might make me change my mind. I'm having countless WTF moments with every chapter, so I don't think it's so predictable and by the book... But I agree, it's enormously rushed. I think Amano was criticized for the length of the Future Arc and now she's making up for it with godspeed... >.<' I think things went well until 295. Then, things started to happen way too fast. But, I won't criticize the arc until its end ò.ò I mean, many things have been introduced in the latest chapters, from Sin & Penalty, to Talbot, new hints on Vindice, the oath, TYE!Spanner (and Shoichi)... I think the arc isn't fully started yet. I hope Amano sensei is rushing this part to swiftly get to something even better. I'll just wait patiently, storytelling is HARD.

And, thanks so much again. <3
