Hmm I personally found modulo barring yuji section a one time read thing. I mean unlike jjk0 nd jjk I did not feel like reading it again. Like it's not boring but it also doesn't have that x factor which yuta in jjk 0 nd yuji in jjk had. I would even say for me it's yuji who brought that x factor back in modulo.

Well I never felt like I needed to know more abt Okkotsu siblings more than what we already knew. Her depression was interesting to me but for diff reason. I genuinely think one has to be stupid to still consider yuka being the mc when we had already seen maru being introduced as the main character.

I personally didn't really mind all that cuz I was focussing on what gege wants to shows us instead of thinking what I want to see. So I was not that worried abt it.

There is a correlation between them tho. Like aliens are refugees who are here to coexist with humans but wanted to protect cursed spirits causing conflict among them.. Like removal of cursed energy from humans nd aliens will ensure no more birth of cursed spirits , they'll be on same page from now on leading to them being able to live/coexist peacefully.

Okay I don't know what do you mean by d*s*x m* r😅

While I agree that dabura should have met yuji, I don't think doura nd dabura are 5u coded nd no doura wasn't his mentor, but the only one who could keep up with dabura during fights.

Abt your other complaints, I can't help but think that half of these wouldn't exist if you had read manga itself nd remember . Tho I do agree some aspects feel very incomplete. Like we needed more info on aliens. I mean you don't just create another race that possesses cursed energy without giving us extra info. Maybe gege intends to address them in another sequel.

Modulo definitely needed to be longer. Some characters should've have more screen time (like Cross and Maru) to have more emotional impact. But it's always meant to be a short sequel which is such a shame.

Hmm I personally like Yuuka, especially her relationship with Tsurugi. They didn't get one on one interaction a lot (compared with their respective Rumelian partner) but Yuuka's wish about being his little sis again before she drops at Shinjuku worked for me. I don't think Yuuka is the mc since Maru is the face of Modulo but Yuuka does push the plot forward when she convinces Cross.

The siblings were fighting over the ring. I don't think it was supposed to be a big deal? Bc the plot still required tsurugi to have the ring.

Yes I agree with your take about Ui Ui but I'm afraid this is classic gege moment.

Maru's goal was to find a new home. But then his brother got attacked. Maru got sidetracked bc of his unhealthy warrior mindset. Tsurugi V Maru may look unnecessary from the outside but it makes sense for character development since both became irrational after seeing their siblings get hurt. Then later Tsurugi withdraws (which is my fav part bc of Maki flashback). Think this is where the story started rushing, which is sad bc i love some parts like Tsurugi helping Maru come to an understanding (though i agree this scene was fast forwarded especially random Rika cameo).

Regarding deux ex harmony, I have to say i kinda like and dislike it. But it had to be something otherworldly like an OP ritual technique for the cursed energy removal to work. I also think it plays into the coexistence part well. Rumelians side also got affected by the ritual, making the future children not have the same contour of soul as the Kalyans. This subplot is unresolved as we don't know how Rumelians will overcome this since they all voted to not kill Kalyans. We may have another sequel...

I got sidetracked. What I'm trying to say is that both Rumelians and the Japanese sacrificed something to coexist, which imo makes the whole ritual thing more acceptable. But i understand if people think it's lame. It die come out of nowhere. 😭

It's not like Gege portrayed every Rumleian in a pure good light. Like some of them were idiots who resorted to violence like Osuki (who I later liked a lot bc fighting a Kalyan like human made him think). Actually I LOVE gege pulling out that racist character. I can understand why it feels cheap storywise but ppl like that already exist irl. So I think it's not far fetched as a concept. He was just there to escalate the situation.

Though yes I agree having both the cursed energy removal plot and coexistence kind of made Modulo convoluted near the end. Still modulo isn't that bad imo. Maybe you should give the whole thing a go.

Next time, hopefully gege will stop rushing when his story nears the end.

Yeah I also wish they had met. 💔
