>new part of a beloved manga>have a female protagonist to try and shake up the shounen genre>have an interesting start, but slowly the pacing gets worse as the story goes on>various plot threads are brought up, but the majority of them are just bait and switch and are never explored/dropped>original premise and the mc's objective become less relevant as the story goes on, and is pratically irrelevant in the final arc>the story ends up being very convoluted due to the side characters and antagonists being very disposable and having short staying time>there is a twist about a supporting character's true identity, in terms of their relation to the main antagonist, but it does not impact the plot in any relevant way>get so bad to the point the mangaka has to have an abrupt ending, due to writing himself into a corner>have to end with a major retcon in order for the series to go on>be stone ocean>pic unrelated
