Do you people really think a manga that's been consistently selling tens of thousands copies of Limited Edition volumes that cost TEN TIMES the usual price? If you think there's even a single editor somewhere who'd do that... you're [redacted] and [censored].
As for the chapter itself, I'm both grateful to Akamatsu-sensei for providing some sort of closure and tying several loose ends and at the same time annoyed that some other loose ends were left hanging.
Spoiler (mouse over to view)
Like, for example, WHERE THE HELL IS ARIKA? The implication is rather obvious from her absence but still...
What is MOST grating is that Yue and Nodoka ships both have been officially sunk. ESPECIALLY Yue's. He could at least leave that part open but no, "Yue-san", "Negi-sensei" - nothing's changed, the ship is sinking. FRUSTRATION.
The ambiguity of KonoSetsu was also something I didn't appreciate. But eh, limitations of the genre/magazine so I'll let that one slide. As far as I'm concerned, I'll just have fun seeing anti-shippers trying to deny the obvious.
I loved the bit about Hakase x Godel. Scary. Really scary, indeed.
