Yes, I’m still reading Megatokyo. I’m as shocked as you are.

Let me make my apology first, because it leads to what I want to mention. First of all, the story has picked up in the last couple of chapters, and second author!Piro has gotten a lot better about posting on time. Not 100%, but getting closer.

Anyway, author!Piro mentioned several years ago that we’re going to hate character!Piro by the end of the story. I wonder if he’s changed his mind, because right now, I like him better than I ever have. Over the last couple of chapters, he’s had some serious growth, which is great because the pace was so. agonizingly. slow. before that that I almost gave up reading. I was bored with the story (or lack thereof), and with the characters who never really did anything. But Piro has changed, become a little less of a nitwit, and he’s starting to really be able to empathize with other characters, particularly Kimiko (who is his romantic interest, so of course it’d be her first). Good on you, Piro.

So I’m making a recommendation to pick Megatokyo back up if you haven’t given it a look in a while. You might be pleasantly surprised!
