^^ You aren't really understanding the point Anon & me are trying to make.

This is not the first tragic piece of manga i'm reading and certainly not the first tragic literary work.

What i'm saying is that the darkest point in any of those other mangas still has one speck of hope/light left, but in my eyes that is completely absent in Ishida's work. The candle in a dark room has completely burned up and what's left is a small wire of smoke signifying the last sign of life before it completely turns into nothing.

You migh still feel there's this speck of hope left, but that is simply not the case for me. I know from experience the turnaround will happen, but it won't make it good, if I don't particularly hope for such a turnaround.

Unless next chapter manages to present me a clear motive or spark that shows a change in mentality in whatever character, I might accept the change, but the chances that Ishida will do a turnaround without any intrinsic mental change in the key characters is definitily not nihil and that right now is the key point that'll decide if I will continue reading his series or quit.

First and foremost I want to see clear change in mentality then we can talk results in a favorable direction.
