Mashle improved a lot and I feel like it has already found its own identity, at least if it keeps focusing on the simple minded, brute force aspect of the character. Though the HP ripoff is getting even more blatant, but its shamelessness about it is kinda charming, i guess even the chapter title convention will keep leaning into it.
To me UxU is by far the best new series since CSM. However Andy's change into an almost romantic (but still goal oriented and self serving) gentleman in this chapter was a little too sudden and unnatural to me, and makes me question why the author went so far with the sleaziness before. I guess for the sake of comedy and a stronger impression, but I think that backfired a little considering how many it turned off here (although thats not necessarily representative of Jump customers). Either way, if that was your problem with the it, I urge you to give it another shot.
