I actually don't mind the princess arcs, but the setup of the overall story is flailing. Restoring the house gets old and what is supposed to be the end-game boss is someone I have little interest in. If you're reading for fan service then I'm sure you're still satisfied, but for me, the plot is wearing thin. And that new loli scares me.

I agree, the author should try to somehow forward the plot and go past these princess arcs. Although they aren't bad.. some progress would be nice.
Maybe this has happened, but I don't read the RAWs so I'm only where it's translated up to. |

It just going to be the same routine, Meets princess. Try to get her to fall in love with him. Trouble/problem appears. Saves the day, Princess falls in love Ends up leaving at the end anyway, because of different reasons. Some are valid reasons, some are just plain old stupid reasons. |

Chapter 30 was bad in my mind. Between the two misunderstandings, Raizou going catatonic over some lies and just sitting there while his Kunoichi are dying and Kagari is being slapped around, it fell really flat. The end of the chapter was the worst with him just running off without even listening to the princess. A complete cop out. I'd like to believe that after this, he'd mature a bit now that that he's had his first real love, but I don't see it. He has barely changed since chapter 1.

Oh c'mon...! She was the best candidate yet! If Raizo doesn't get a harem going soon...oh well, I'll probably still glance at it from time to time... I loved that Pirate Princess - the right balance of woman (for me anyway).

I still don't understand why this manga is considered a harem manga. Of course all the princesses Raizou meets will eventually fall in love with him, but at the end of their arcs they will be gone for good. In my opinion in a harem manga the male lead is constantly surrounded by the girls, who love him. Hayate the Combat Butler, Sora no Otoshimono or Negima are examples for this, but here we only have Kagari, who loves him and is always by his side.

I'm pretty sure, that the princesses will reappear in later chapters, but, like you said, only to support Raizo fighting against Lord Seigan. And this fight will be some kind of rescue mission for Kagari.
