Kuroumaru's a female now.

The author should have died with Negi to prevent this abomination of a series
>>133674297
True for the first 70 chapters or so but I like it now.
>>133674297
but this is the best series Ken has produced so far.

Nahh slow start, awesome middle, I also think he is the type that could pull off a decent ending as well out of the majority of mangakas. If nothing tries to fuck him sideways again.

>Kuromaru loses all her strength upon becoming a girl
Oh come on, that's bullshit. Gender strength dimorphism has always been completely nonexistent in Ken's writing, why suddenly make it a thing now? All previous shinmeiryuu girls were brutal gorilla women with superhuman strength.
>>133675930
Maybe that isn't the reason why? Characters' superhuman strength comes from supernatural energy of some kind that has nothing to do with gender.

It's obvious that Ken is setting Kuromaru up in a Setsuna dilemma.
Setsuna hesitated in becoming Konoka's friendand loverbecause she thought it'd make her weak and unable to protect Konoka. Her eventual resolution was "why not both?"
Kuromaru is getting roped into a situation where she thinks that by becoming a girl and Touta's lover she will become weak and no longer be able to stand by his side. Only this shit is actually all in her head and it's actually her crushing insecurity issues that have wrecked her fighting ability. She'll reach the same conclusion as Setsuna i.e. why not both?
Tl;dr becoming a girl isn't the reason Kuromaru weakened but she'll immediately assume it is and wallow in despair.

>Mahora tournament is coming up
>Kuromaru is going to end up fighting Eva
>Eva will literally give Kuromaru the exact speech she gave Setsuna
Oh fuck Ken is actually going to do it isn't he.
