This chapter is frustrating in the grand scheme of the series. It should have felt more meaningful rather than something ultimately designed to pad a page count.

Chapter 12 of Platinum End is the most compelling to date. It finally feels like Platinum End is developing into its own thing rather than a haphazardly cobbled together manga of different titles.

Cuticle Detective Inaba, as silly as the series often is, is mustering a lot of effort for what is presumably the series final arc. It is a shame the series did not develop darker plots until what is presumed to be near the end.

Ultimately this chapter was a satisfying read. The cast was given some much needed development; character development and tension are areas the series truly excels at.
