This chapter was so good... I really enjoyed the conversations between Kikuta and Sugimoto. Wasn’t expecting Sugimoto to bump into Tsurumi and his group, that was pretty cool.

I absolutely love how much backstory we're getting here. We get to see the old characters interacting with each other but we still don't know everything that happened.

great pacing and storytelling

Love it when a manga points out a distinct detail of someone's appearance and you go back to previous pages to spot said little detail. The rip on Sugimoto's cap is conveniently blocked out by speech bubbles and is only seen in one panel prior to Yuusaku inquiring about it.

Okay, so Sugimoto was acquainted with Hanazawa Yuusaku, Ogata's brother. We find out through Kaneko Kaeko what happened to Igogusa/Harumi Chiyo. The "son of a manager from Mitsubishi" is Kaeko's cousin who married Tsukishima's love.

Then Sugimoto bumps into Tsurumi and his motely crew and Tsurumi's acts like a decent chap. Even picks up Sugimoto's cap for him. Will that be the end of their meeting or will it lead into a conversation?

Everyone's connected in some way and it's all so natural!
A good author leaves the audience enough material to be satisfied with, yet yearning for more.

The threads of everything are always tying together the further the story goes, so Tsurumi wasn't lying, she did marry a rich guy.

Writers of other well known and popular manga might wanna pay attention into how this mangaka carefully builds his story and characters, and can reach into the past without messing the story or characters up.

I still can't believe that Tsurumi's story was partly true. I can't wait to see how things will play out in this flashback, and how this'll all come back to tie into the present. Satoru Noda is a absolute genius at building characters.

I love this arc already.

We even saw Egogusa. I think Sugimoto will meet her and that is going to be how he converts Tsukishima in the end.

You remember how Sugimoto saved life of Tsurumi / Tsukishima by letting them use the medic sled instead of letting Toraji use it. I though that was their first meeting but apparently it goes even further.

Sugimoto might be a bit too handsome, now it's his virginity that's at stake xD

Love it so much how we get the confirmation casually like that

I love how things are connected in the background, both in the most subtle and direct ways.

This backstory is crazy! Everyone is somehow connected.
