Possibly because of the same reason Blood Alone's author ditched the publisher and went for the doujin route.

She could totally do it too, y'know. A re-telling like Kenshin. And make lot of money. That's the best revenge. That's what's amusing.

the worst thing about making real manga is having an editor, he thinks he knows better than the artist, idiot. Twisted Evil

It sounds like up until the Suzukura Arc, we have not be reading the mangaka's work but actually the editor's work.

She should approach her publisher, or switch publishers, and ask for redoing the series up until this point maybe. Though I'd understand given the stress and bad experience surrounding it, maybe she wouldn't be motivated to reboot it.

I share the same thought as you, damn editor, what we as the readers want, is to read the creator's side of story, not yours! Poor Watase, she had to go through this sort of thing, and I am happy that the jerk is replaced! I hope he gets fired for doing this shit!

He sounds like a serious ass! I'm glad she got a new editor.

My thoughts exactly! I've read enough of Watase-san's work to know I want to hear her stories and not some arrogant asshole's...

Why anime for this manga only has "good" rating? Is this manga weak (possibly because of this bad editor) or just the anime is mediocre?
