^ I was more referring to the fact that law enforcement would alert the British authorities & Interpol that the English & Catholic churches were kidnapping and experimenting on minors. I don't see many of the plots conflicts occurring when Academy city's biggest export is removed & the Vatican is under investigation for child endangerment (wow that's weirdly topical). Surprised anyone sends their kids there at all given the city's crime & death rate.
Don't know about how far along the manga is, I didn't care enough. As far as I can tell the light novel isn't going to end despite having apparently dealt with the initial primary conflicts at this point. Guess they're just gonna keep going till it runs out of steam.
