I think we’re seeing two confirmations—first, that Baiser’s power is determined by her motivation, so once she got the idea of punishing Lord for her childishness (and for hurting magical girls in non-sexy ways) through age regression play, she was completely unstoppable.
Second—I’m really sad to say it, but the axe has definitely fallen. This pacing, as has been noticed, is hella jarring. It’s fucking infuriating because the manga is actual gold; it’s creative, kinky in a thoughtful and meaningful way (as well as an exciting way) and so, so well-executed and wel-planned. And the publishing just took a shit on all that carefully-balanced pacing and spinning out of new ideas.
This is the thing that infuriates me about anime and manga. Anything that’s not safe, not already trodden ground, is just given so much shit. Japan in general has an issue with doing things that aren’t already 1000000% proven safe through long practice, and in the manga industry it chokes the spark of life out of all my favorite new works.
This was shaping up to be my favorite yuri manga of all time, I mean some real Flip Flappers-tier shit, and the thought that its potential was stripped away by some dead-eyed executive looking at a month-by-month sales chart makes my heart scream out in anguish.
