Though I'm really happy to see one of my all time favorite series return, seeing only 8 pages breaks my heart after months of waiting.
I know Hoshino has a lot of health issues and all but I'd rather have one large chapter released rather than a short and tiny one that gets my hopes up. Especially a short chapter like this that had pretty much zero advancement in the plot. The past few chapters were short but I didn't mind much since quite a few were released within the year, which is something we haven't gotten in years. This chapter upsets me greatly.
Here's hoping she releases a little more this year to make up for it, but I'm also hoping they aren't short chapters. I know I'm probably asking too much but like it was stated above already, it's getting hard to remember what is happening in this arc.
Anyways, as expected, her art and character designs are absolutely stunning!
