Wow, so I'm unexpectedly bored by the nuclear wessels plot? Like, the character stuff is delicious - Natsu getting MILES AND MILES of character development! Ango weaving in and out of reality and desperately resisting character development! Ryo gaining a glimmer of insight into this "fun" thing! Semimaru chastened by his near death for all of five minutes before giving it up to squee over soybeans! - but every time the plot kicks in, my brain checks out. I think I'm almost to the end, though. I CAN DO IT.
