Chapter 247 - Status Report!

"KIJA"..........

The last chapter (247) of jjk proves (to me) a theory I've been thinking about for some time now. And it's that even though Gege Akutami is a great author, they are too dependant on their own formula, specifically for Yuuji's social circles and the social background of the manga in general. That's why they keep "taking out" important characters but they have to keep bringing new ones to fulfill their deceased counterparts. This has happened with Gojo and Higuruma, Nobara and Hana, Nanami and Kusakabe/Higuruma, Megumi and Choso, Todo and Hakari/Choso, and Panda and Takaba.

And I'm not saying they are bad characters (some of them are even my favorites in the series) however it's kinda hard to care about them making it to the final battle when they are presented as a replacement for another character that you were more able to get familiar with. Moreover as I keep seeing this particular formula the deaths and disappearance of some characters are starting to loose the impact it used to have for me.
