There's also a lot of questions that need to be asked regarding Accelerator espeically his wings but there is always room for more character development as again shown in the latest Index volumes. In fact volumes 18-21 of NT have been the best volumes of NT in a long while and I think that is largely down to it gong back to it being the three protagonists.

This will be long.

I agree about the manga itself though and definetely the art both are a disappointment. I think though the main reasons for that are as followed.

I think pacing of the manga is a huge issue. When you read the arc in one go it's not so bad but as a monthly manga it is. Right now they are on Accel's second arc which looks to be maybe finishing soon but it could last for about 10 more chapters.

Where they chose to start the manga. I think it was a huge mistake starting it from just after he was shot. I think it's very hard to give much character development to Accel at this point since it doesn't really start until volume 12, there was bits and pieces before then but it truly started in volume 12. The manga is also pretty much predictable at this point as well.

There's also a very little Accel in general and it seems to be more focused on characters who you can't really get behind due to knowing that they probably won't ever show up again.

In my opinion I think they should have started the manga after NT 10. I think another problem with the Accel manga is that it's basically all action. I think starting it from after the events of NT 10 would have been a lot better because it could have given us a more balance view of his daily life living with Yomikawa, Yoshikawa, Misaka worst and Last Order while giving us some action at the same time. There would have also been some great comic moments.

I think one of the reasons why Index and Railgun work so well is the balance it has between their daily lives and the action; also showing their daily lives also gives us a better insight in the relationships they have with other characters. This is very much missing in Accel's manga because there's no real time for him to have much relationships with others.

I think this would have worked with Accel's manga if they had started it after NT 10.

I think one problem that can't easily be fixed is Accel coming up against an opponant who can equal him or beat him easily. Accel even after being nerfed is still extremely powerful and that is without his wings. As Quilph puzzle 545 said he's for the most part unmatched.

However this is also another reason why it would have been good to start it after NT 10 because then Kakine could have been one hell of a main villian who Accel can't easily beat due to Kakine's immortality and Accel's battery on his choker only lasting 30 minutes.
