Romance and comedy are pretty much down to zero, there's not even ecchi content for the 'pervert in all of us' anymore.
What's left is a dragging generic action plot, which has never been the series' strong suit but was acceptable and somewhat gripping early on in the series (and S2) when the arcs were much shorter and it wasn't as blatantly obvious that not just the MC but the side characters as well wear plot armor (that includes the "oh so in peril right now"- Outer Moka as well)
It'd be nice if the series returned to its former virtues after that, I'm not really holding my breath, though.

??? Its always been monthly.
I disagree.....granted Gyokuro is a rather boring antagonist imo, but the only thing I would change is the repeating friendship aesop. I think we got it the first few times.
Its killing the flow when we spend 60%+ of the total pages in the middle of a fight with pointless or self-evident monologues. The action has been the only saving grace of this arc though.
