| Part 1: Everything seems to be going well in Tsujinaka household. Yoshiki has decided to face people properly and he finally cut his fringe, the parents are talking, Kaoru has made friends whom she wants to hang out with, and the dad seems to be more active. It would all have been nice if I didn't have to worry about "Hikaru" getting turned into freaking sashimi!!! Kurebayashi's son mentioned! Though, the thing Satou said about treating "Hikaru" like her son could mean treating him like he was her own son, she was clearly hinting that she knows Kurebayashi, because Kurebayashi had the company take care of Iori. Unless this is a massive bait-and-switch type situation, Tanaka is Iori. But, I wonder when that will be revealed. I can't see the revelation happening just yet based on the current story beats. "Hikaru" chopped a man's arm, and his reaction was … nothing! WTF! What is this company! Satou reminds me of 'Boy Erased' in a way, a film about gay conversion therapy. Her deceptively polite tone resembles the "doctors" from the movie who claim they want to help you, but they intend to trap and abuse you for their own selfish goals. I freakin wanna wipe that sadistic blush off of Satou's CCG-like face! Yoshiki's text messages do such a good job of revealing his relationship with everyone! Yoshiki's best clothes are his school uniform! That's the most manga protagonist thing about him, I guess! haha Also, I love how he's not the stereotypical gay boy who loves fashion. I've hardly met any gay guy in real life who actually does like fashion that much. They're all rather bad at picking out their clothes, just like any straight guy out there. We finally see mum using her hair-salon ability! |

| OMG! Kurebayashi, you busy-body bitch! You just signed Hikaru's death certificate!! |
 "Are you intoxicated, or just insane?" |
| OMG HE CUT HIS HAIR |
| HE CUT HIS BANGS?!?!?! |
| Part 2: Wow, just after I said the necessary beats weren't there to reveal Tanaka's identity, this section of the chapter added them all, and gave us a dramatic revelation. I wonder if it is possible that Tanaka was temporarily forgotten, like Yoshiki. But, Kurebayashi always seems to recall Iori, so that couldn't have been true. Asako was in Darumazuka tunnel, but based on how she's acting, I am guessing she didn't get to see "Hikaru" being abducted. I wonder how Yoshiki will learn of this. Maybe Kurebayashi will tell Tanaka, and he'll tell Yoshiki? The Hole was in Tanaka's home! WTF! That was such a massive twist!!!! I had always assumed that the "dad" had come home the same way "Hikaru" had, you know, from the mountain, walking. But, he'd emerged right out of their home itself! Kurebayashi is acting a bit fishy this chapter. Is she actually a lot more deranged than we first believed her to be? Or, is this just one of those tricks used in horror to make us suspicious of everything? Why did Tanaka say his company got to the Hole before him? Is he referring to the present, or the past (his childhood)? I wonder if we'll get any backstory for Tanaka now. There's so much I want to know like what happened exactly, or how he was taken by the company, why he changed his name, why he's mad at Kurebayashi, etc... |
| Omggg these are the plot twists that I like >ω< I had kinda suspected Kurebayashi maybe betrayed Hikaru. Was acting very suspicious lately BUT that ｌａｓｔ panel omg. I didn't see coming Tanaka was her kid |
