around 430 to be exact (or so says google)
to put it in perspective, the original db manga (where there is no z distinction, its goku meeting bulma to the 28th World Martial Arts Tournament after 10 years of peace) has 519.

One Piece at least is a series that has momentum that is going somewhere specific and not open ended. It’s nearing the end (it will still be many years before it ends, but big arcs always take long and this is the last one. Questions are being answered and things are starting to converge.)

CyPic/Cygames Pictures are in no way a low-effort studio and while Kagurabachi isn't really my thing all of you who do enjoy it aren't likely to be disappointed by the anime.

u/Former-Grocery-6787 Signalis Hurt Me Jul 12 '26
Definitely, though i'm fairly sure in the light novel it's actually more clearly presented as a bad thing, the anime is a lil weirder with it tho, and so is the manga apparently (Japan moment i guess)
•
u/sniply5 unfunny comment rat Jul 12 '26
"the anime is a lil weirder with it tho"
i mean thats one way to say it equates the two and uses incest as a comparison point for being gay in a positive light.

u/Former-Grocery-6787 Signalis Hurt Me Jul 12 '26
That's definitely what it sounds like yeah, had to do a double take too at that point
I guess if you really want to give it the benefit of the doubt you could interpret it that in the fuckass fantasy victorian era the setting is in, society basically treats/views being queer and incest as equally socially unacceptable which is obviously annoying to the lesbian mc (i believe it's like that in the light novel, although i'd have to read it again to be sure, definitely not very evident in the anime tho)

Yeah, the manga is usually a lot better and not butchered to fit into a 12 episode seasonal spot. Hates in Jitsu Wa Watashi Wa
