This was an action-heavy chapter, not a content-heavy one, but it showed off Nakaba’s chops for action in a spectacular fashion, and commemorated the reunion of Ban and Meliodas very nicely.
Platinum End chapter two is definitely worth a read for fans of this creative team; the series has its flaws early on, mostly in lack of restraint, and antagonists without much to offer besides padding the story, but this manga has potential.
While this arc didn’t explore the subject as thoroughly as, say, A Silent Voice, this was still a perfectly believable story, with a great message behind it, and was overall satisfying end to the Hikaru/Hotaru bullying subplot.
All in all, this was a pretty enjoyable chapter, with a nice balance of humor, plot development, and payoffs on longstanding character arcs and relationships.
