| You are indeed right!!! The manga became shit around chapter 180 onwards!!! Sure there are good chapters beyond 180 like Kaguya's visit to the Shirogane's, ABC, & the last few Kaguya/Miyuki focused chapters but besides that, Its been meh!!! It doesnt help that we dont have a proper back story nor at least few appearances of Miyuki's mother as well!!! & too much chapters were wasted on Ishigami's love polygon too which imo has gone way too long & overdramatic!!! From 160 onwards, The quality obviously dropped & i wonder how A1 will handle that in the mere future if they adapted the rest of the manga!!! |

realfifi said: I have just finished reading the manga and to be honset i think i have never cried so much over a story but its because of my mixed emotions. I cant express how weird I feel but lets get to the point. Kaguya sama has been my fav anime for some time now and I finally got opportunity to read the manga which i always wanted to do. I had fun reading chapters that were left out in the anime and i truly was in love with what ive seen. After the ice kaguya arc i was so hyped for the concept that the series would continue the same way, presenting funny scene with the student council. Morover i was positive we would get the same kaguya vs miyuki mind games but in terms of what a couple should be doing. even if we didnt i wouldnt mind as long as it stayed true to what the series was before that part. first 20 chapters were just like i imagined, i was so geniuenly thrilled. But as i read more and more i began to have some doubts. The first one was the hayasaka arc which seemd WAY out of the context and way to serious for a series like kaguya sama. But oh it only got worse. What the hell is even the shinomiya family arc. However i would try to look at it from a positive angle i cant grasp anything reasonable and adequate to the story. How series can change from comedy to drama in a span of few chapters? The whole con ept was absurd, few teenagers facing multi-billionaire family. The absurd doesnt end there, hayasaka skating with fujiwara trying to escape some dudes, miyuki and kaguya hopping on a helicopter??? shinomiya members were patheticslly written too. I just feel so so disappointed. When i started reading, i was just hoping to see more school like miuyki and kaguya or ishigami and miko action. Maybe im just failing to grasp something and someone could tell me if their on my side of if they actually think that manga doesn't drop in quality. Honestly i wish i had never read this. TLDR: My favourite piece of media turned out to be disappointment, shinomiya family arc and almost everything after chapter 180 sucks (not the ending) Most Kaguya-sama fans that started to read the manga thought the same thing, I really enjoyed the dramatic part of it, and in my opinion those arcs are pretty good if you count character developnent. I think what Aka Akasaka wanted was to show everyone that Kaguya-sama is more than just a series of mind games between the main couple, if that was his objective, I'm more than satisfied. But I don't mind if you didn't like how the manga had turned out to be, I was also kinda sad, because comedy is my favorite genre, and seeing it almost vanishing from my favorite show was confusing. |

| I agree. It was my favourite manga for a long time, but then there were a lot of disappointing arcs back to back |
| I agree as well. I still liked it but it was way better beforehand. Really Tsubame’s party and Ice Kaguya was when I started to notice change. It felt weird how a lot of characters just became very preachy too. |
 |
| Yeah, I felt the drama pile on of the (what was it 15 chapters are so?) was overkill but it ended on a good note so I was relatively happy I will say though that comedy in manga is hard and if a series wants to be more than a 4koma it has to bring some drama to it What redeemed it for me in the end is the time and care the author took in bringing the series to a close, that took real commitment and I appreciated that. |
 |
| Only the shinomiya family arc was mid and that osaragi arc was also decent otherwise it was wonderful manga and even the ending was fun except miko and ishigami conclusion. |
| Yep. The manga fell off hard. Still gave it a 7 tho. Good read overall |

| *trigger and spoiler warning* Manga should have ended like 13 volumes ago. Ever since it became about ishigami and miko and becoming less funny that it went from a 9 to an 8 at best. Ishigami and miko pretty much went nowhere and was really not that great OR memorable in the long run. Series peaked at ice kaguya arc ngl, after that, I’m glad kaguya and shirogane had sex but that’s about it. |

Series peaked at ice kaguya arc ngl, after that, I’m glad kaguya and shirogane had sex but that’s about it. 100% agree, i feel like they should have handeled miko and ishigami a little bit defferent, faster? and actually give the readers a proper ending to their story Ishigami and ino was dragged on for farrrrr too long. And for what? Just an ambiguous ending that they get together? And we never even see them kiss??? I never liked ino that much, and it felt like they focused on ishigami’s past way too much. It was a forgettable, unsatisfying romance imo, that unfortunately took center stage in kaguya and shirogane’s own manga after vol 15. I own the physical manga and actually like rereading vol 1-15 still (despite viz’s translation choices on some parts), it’s still very fun and cute. But after vol 15 man it gets boring, and you can tell ayasaka didn’t have a plan and tried to make the series a little funny again near the end when people realized it got boring I’m assuming. It’s a good romcom, still better than most, but when it became more rom drama and showed less of their main couple is when it became so disappointing. The ending was good, not the greatest, but after so many boring vol it just made me feel “ok.” |
