As a part of the JUMP START initiative, the first three chapters of Best Blue were published in English in VIZ Media's digital Weekly Shonen Jump.
















... and the second season of the Anime did a better job of pacing than I thought they would. I think they moved the Elf village arc from before hostilities with the Principality began to the inter-war period, aka the start of the second season, and used that to pad it out. Good call if that's what they did. In any event. Good season.
