I let this series cook way too long, I have so much to catch up on The backgrounds look so lackluster now tho. I wonder if it's a victim of mangaka burnout.

The lack of background is mostly to chase deadlines I think. There's also times when it's only sketches, which are actually not that uncommon when mangakas can't properly fo things when deadlines were close so you just got rough stuff published in the manga zines.
They mostly going to be fixed in thr tankobon releases.
Was worried she'd just go with the flow and let him do whatever; at least she opened her mouth to say SOMETHING.
