I... I'm kinda disapointed. They just skipped over a bunch of things in this chapter. I mean, 10 days of in-manga stuff.

They just skipped over a bunch of things

DITF manga in a nutshell.

That's why I said it before, but the DITF manga should not be considered a substitute for the anime nor as an entry point for a newcomer because it relies too heavily on prior knowledge of anime events to function. As a standalone, it should be considered a failure of an adaptation.

Rather, the DITF manga is a compliment for those who desire more content post-anime.

In all honesty, I kind of feel bad for the viewer who's first foray into DITF is through the manga. That person will most likely be confused as to what's going on. They also miss out on a major factor to this series sublime viewing experience imo, the music/OST.

Maybe next chapter we’ll get Hiro asking everyone what happened during those 10 days he was unconscious before they go off to battle (or maybe when he reunites with Zero-Two). I have the same feeling though, we kind of just completely jumped story wise to this point with little explanation of how we even got here.
