At this point, this current arc has been going on for over half the total chapters if you count the start of it as Ai showing up. This pacing change has been really rough.

Yeah I'd agree with the critique people have about the pacing, and various other elements. Still I'm here because at this point I simply want to see both sisters happy, fingers crossed.

How many volumes did this arc take again?
5 volumes? An arc like this should be 3 at max.
I think the author throw too much stuff on endless monologue but never reached an actual climax.

I felt like the early story throws a good drama and intense point of the story, we still get the same thing but it also comes with Talk no Jutsu.

A supernova is coming?!

I don't think this arc is dragging, and if that's the case is only because we have many characters this time, is not always about the sisters, is about Kfufu, the dragon guy.... the angel (and the tehehhehehe technique) the stuff in the space that allowed SHY getting a power up.

Sure, is a drag if you ignore all those elements of character development and introductions, including the fight of David Bowie (I forgot his name T-T) in the top of the dome against the shadow enemy too, if we pretend that this arc is just about the sister then yeah it's dragging.

For the record, I should note my comment isn't about me disliking this series, I actually love it. I just want the sisters (and tokimaru for that matter) to make it our okay =(

Shy evolved into SHINE !

The frames this time were really nice, the author was inspired hehehe and also cool, we get to know a bit more about Kfufu... You know I used to hate her because of her power but as a character (just like in batman) she's really cool.

But I still hate her power, is too broken, only limited to the imagination and the limits put by the author (family friendly shonen manga) so she doesn't insta kill everyone.

Also thank you for the many updates!

I'm not counting my eggs yet, I need some solid proof that the sister survives, and won't be killed randomly by a sniper or something...

The light even reached our main girl, that I already forgot the name, it's been so long.

Kfufu is still great though.

Obligatory: Praise the sun! \o/

Though I really wish ninjutsu in this setting had any kind of definitive rules, because it just comes across as plot magic.

Also I'm counting https://dynasty-scans.com/chapters/shy_ch71#16 as a shipping moment. Hoping we get a nice downtime chapter for a repeat of https://dynasty-scans.com/chapters/shy_ch05#4

At least it's consistent in a sense, given how the whole "magic ninjas" thing came completely out of the left field without any prior indication that I can recall this sort of thing even existed in the setting.

But yeah this has by and large been New Superpowers As Plot Demands: The Arc.

The magic ninja plot powers are especially jarring for me because the chapter where Teru has to keep practicing and practicing until she works out how to use her power is one of my favorites.

We don't even see the ninja trio practice anything other than shuriken throwing in the flashbacks, as far as I can recall. Maybe some swordsmanship? Certainly nothing that explains growing wings or fusion dancing.

Does this mean the magic ninja motif pivot was really sustainable for the series while the smaller, hero stories were not so popular?

Same, but I’m kinda hopeful now!

That said there is one other outcome / theory I’m holding on to... but I don’t want to speak it into existence lol.

I've certainly been suspecting for some time now that someone somewhere - readers? editors? author? - felt the series wasn't "Japanese enough" to sell and the rather abrupt swerve to Narutoland was the answer, because what's more quintessentially Japanese than shounen mango majik ninjas? :s

At least they should finally (given it just got dispelled) get out of the black dome which has seriously turned into the goddamn Namek and Soul Society of this series...

...say. Do I remember wrong or wasn't Stardust, like, fighting atop that thing the last we saw him and is thus now presumably in free fall towards a sudden date with the ground?

Century flew up there a couple chapters ago, so he can probably catch Stardust. So there's another shipping moment I can get behind. :)

Small detail, but I like how on the "enemies" block their eyes from the light of the supernova and the "heroes" look straight into it
