Oh, yeah. Most of us members on the Max9075's WITCH forum agreed that the comic is degenerating a lot recently and we're not very fond of the new comic script writers for turning the story into such a childish series. Recently in issue #105, Irma is even more of a...how should I say this...worse than Teppei in your Yang-Yin fan fiction as a comic relief (this is not an insult to your characterization of Teppei in Yang Yin). Apparently it even affects the other four Guardians as well, causing the entire comic series to degenerate more and more. Rarely, we see any new issues that is just as good as the older issues.
While season 2 changed a lot of...obvious things, at least they still managed to keep some of the girls' characteristics straight on than the new comic writers.
