Inb4 Hiatus x Hiatus resumes after 10 weeks.

Chapter was kinda meh, mainly due to all the wall texts not contributing much substance to the plot. It's nice the Phantom Troupe are remaining central to the plot and could be part of the finale. I just hope they animate an OVA series for the arc once it concludes.
Also, the finale leaves a lot to be questioned. Looks as though genetic cloning is going to be a thing in the series possibly.

Is it still in the middle of that boring ass Prince shit that Kurapika is involved with?

Yeah, though it's slightly more interesting now that the Troupe are involved with it.

Good to see the text walls are still alive and well too. :facepalm

I don't even recall what chapter I left off on, and I really don't want to sift through this arc again.

I honestly can't even remember who's who amongst the new characters due to how much of the arc is dedicated to text walls of needless exposition and a bland array of new characters, not to mention Togashi's inconsistent art. Madhouse really needs to animate the arc once there's enough material to transform anything that isn't the Hisoka subplot into material worth following.

Yea that's the thing, who the fuck would want to see this animated? Lol. Fuck this part of the story. Perhaps I'll try to go through it again soon, but it simply doesn't grab my attention in the slightest.

Newest chapter was OK. Camilla's Nen ability is stupidly broken though. At least there were slightly less text walls than usual, though one of the pages being almost entirely devoid of backgrounds was ass.

Would like it, but that still doesn't work for me in this section. Needs fixing.

Yeah, the current arc is juggling a stupid amount of plot points. I'm really only holding out for Hisoka, the 4th prince and the Troupe.

Tserriednich, 4th prince of Kakin:

The plot point with him is probably my favourite out of all of the new plot points introduced in this new arc, he's basically a walking representation of somebody who should never ever get Nen under any circumstances. Plus, he has more character than every other prince, and a personal stake with Kurapika.

A fucking shame he only pops up once every ten chapters.

So, I read chapter 375.

Dafuq's with the sudden DBZ reference about a Genki-Dama? Would make sense if it was set in an alternate version of our world or if it they used their own world's knockoff of Dragon Ball like Gintama does. Here, it just damages the world building all for a joke.

The text walls are getting even worse. 2 whole panels were given to just dialogue without a single illustration. :ha
Also, lol at that one bodyguard being in love with Biscuit's true form. The guy must be a complete beta cuck.

I found the part detailing the princes' Nen beasts pretty interesting, though still a pretty lazy infodump.

Think about it like this, it was either that or we basically spent a chapter or two more wasted on revealing their Nen beasts.
