I THOUGHT THIS ITERATION OF THE ŌKINA AIDEA NO SŪGAKU MANGA WAS QUITE A DISAPPOINTING CHAPTER IN THE OVERALL STORY, YET I DID FIND REDEEMABLE VALUE WITHIN IT. I'M NOT A FAN OF HOW JŌZAN-SAMA KEEPS BECOMING MORE AND MORE OF A CONFUSING CHARACTER IN TERMS OF HIS GEOMETRICAL IDEOLOGIES, AND IT DOESN'T HELP EITHER THAT BUNKATSU-SAN CONTINUES TO MAINTAIN THEIR TOXIC RELATIONSHIP LIKE IT'S SOME UNSTOPPABLE FORCE OF LOVE THAT NEEDS TO REMAIN. IT'S HONESTLY EXTREMELY CONFUSING WHY THEY'RE STILL TOGETHER. THE TAISHŌ-JIKU ARC WAS FANTASTIC THOUGH, CHALLENGING THE COMPLEX IDEALS OF EVERY SINGLE CHARACTER IN WAYS THAT WERE BOTH EXTREMELY COMPELLING AND HIGHLY EMOTIONALLY ENGAGING. OVERALL, THIS ENTRY WAS A MIXED BAG: THERE WERE SOME THINGS I ABSOLUTELY LOVED, YET ALSO ASPECTS I PERSONALLY DIDN'T CARE FOR.
