I didn't mind the focus on Ishidro. It was more necessary for Shierke than him, kinda showcasing how she's finally where she feels she belongs.
I gotta say though, I'm really tired of how loosely members here throw out "filler". Simply because you don't like it doesn't mean it has no bearing on the story to come: Shierke characterization, Ishidro and Isma ability demonstration, etc; it had things of merit that you don't know how they'll fit in later on.
It was obviously a light hearteded bit, sure, but it's not worthless to the story simply because you don't like it.
Fans like you are the idiots who also claim The Lost Children arc was filler, simply because it wasn't what you wanted to see right then and there, even though that part is more relevant now than it's ever been.
Sick of that.
But anyway, back on topic, was also very Star Wars heavy, yet somehow, I don't mind Puck or his siblings when they're actually contributing to something, vs just being background art. THAT got old in the boat arc, but slow and steady, and now we're about to enter a full chug again.
Overall, I'd give it a 4/5. I'm just glad digital has finally set in for Miura, as the artwork is finally back and better than what I remember, after the slight dip.
