I've received a few messages asking for my thoughts about the latest OnK chapters, but I'm sorry guys, to be honest, I'm giving this manga as little thought as possible for the time being 😂

It seems to me that this handful of chapters will best be read as an ensemble. Right now the pacing is all about Aka misleading the readers just to create cliffhangers and shock value (Aqua wants to kill Kamiki! No actually, Ai wants to save him so Aqua won't kill him! Kamiki is evil! No actually, he's just misguided, Nino is evil! ACTUALLY, Nino is just misguided and Kamiki is evil! Aqua may have finally chosen to live! No actually, Aqua is still planning to die!), and personally, I feel like thinking too hard about any of it before Aka gets to the point isn't really worth it.

He will stop his shenanigans and get somewhere eventually, likely (hopefully) by the end of the volume. So in the meantime, I'm going to take it easy and just let the man get there.

#this gif is truly the most accurate to my reaction to every onk chapter nowadays lmao #writing for cliffhangers and shock value rather than organically is one of the biggest flaws of aka's writing #this latest chapter was entertaining sure I'll give him that but at what cost lmao #I'll probably just make a post about this batch of chapters once aka wraps up the call backs to mephisto #so I can discuss all of it in one go #particularly because this last chapter is clearly meant to be the spiritual successor to chapter 150 #but let it be known that if in the next few chapters aqua doesn't realize and accept that he wants to live #then everything he has gone through will have been meaningless and a waste of our time as readers #so I'm expecting crowli to intervene and help him out if he chooses to live #probably at the expense of her own life if aka feels like being dramatic lol #fandom: onk
