This series is still incredibly good, and I'd consider it one of my favorite manga series thus far.

It also kind of got pretty political at the end, particularly with Spoilerthe Friends passing a “youth development ordinance” that lets them censor and jail manga writers who write work people in the government don't like. It's particularly prophetic considering the push for expansions to the scope of the Tokyo Metropolitan Ordinance Regarding the Healthy Development of Youths in 2003, two years after this volume was published in Japan.
