The biggest let down is the Liselotte + Latifa meeting.

I don’t know if the author was running out of pages and wanted to end at a cliff hanger to make sure we pick up the next one. But you don’t talk about how the non MC group members were finally going to be able to try more Japanese food and how Liselotte and Latifa were going to actually meet for the first time after just watching each other on the bus for years on earth. Then make it 1 paragraph, saying that the MC had to play party games and ate food!

If this was death March the meeting would have been at least a chapter if not it’s own volume.

Also what ever happened to the Yagamo people? It’s been 11 Volumes since he left and nothing has been said. Were they purely to set up his dedication to his revenge by speaking to his parents graves? The way they spoke made it seem like the master swordsman was going to follow the MC whether he wanted them to or not. I am waiting for them to turn up somewhere.
