>Anyways, have anyone noticed that Urd has been a real homebody lately.  
She used to hang around the Motor Club all the time and drive the fanboys 
nuts. 

That's because the NIT campus is no longer a focal point of the series, 
hasn't been since vol 16. The _new_ focal point, aside from the temple, is 
Whirlwind. 

>And what happened to Keichii's sister Megumi?  You almost never see her 
anymore, at least not since Keichii's mother and father visited.

That's because all the stories since then have been supernatural stories. Her 
appearance would have been unsuitable. But yes, she's overdue for a 
reappearance. In fact, there's been a serious lack of normal humans in AMG 
for the past year and a half. The latest story appears to correct that though.

>I see the art has changed style slightly too recently. Startled expressions 
have a whole different feel to them, as well scale of characters to one 
another.

When I read the recent chapters, I get this feeling that the artists are 
trying 
 
to draw the characters with fewer lines than before. The results feels 
slightly 
 
lacking. 
And the startled expressions _do_ have a more 'comic' feel than before.
Here's another thought: In two months, chapter 180 will be published in 
Afternoon. That will mark 15 years of AMG. That's a LONG time to be 
working on one title. Perhaps it's time to begin the final stories of AMG?
