4/5 Closing in on the finale. One volume left. Shiki makes in an impossible choice. Now the team is scrambling to reel in the Xenophage. There was a cool fight with Homura against Freya but what the hell are we doing bringing in new baddies this close to the end. I digress it’s still fun even if it doesn’t feel like it’s going to end perfectly.
Some really great fights especially with Homura vs Freyja granted these new fights did feel kind of rushed given how important some of these characters are like Cure but still not bad and I do like Shiki's plan as it does explore one of the more interesting concepts about this universe the Chronophages and I really do hope we get to learn more about them.
