| THIS IS A MANGA ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS ANYTHING BEYOND THIS CHAPTER. ---------------------------------------- Oh my god. I got chills from that. The suspense this entire chapter was intense. When you really think about it, nothing happened in this chapter until the very end, but it still felt so exciting! Also it's interesting that Nakamura moved to a place called Tokawa (外川) AND lives in a restaurant called Mizukoshi (水越) which means literally "outside the river" and "surpassing water", respectively. She always wanted to get out of that old town :P. Or maybe I'm reading too deep into it. |

Germanicus said: Can someone please give us a short summary? Thank you in advance Kasuga meets up with Tokiwa at the train station. On the train, Tokiwa asks to see the note (from Kinoshita) once more. It reads "Nakamura was taken in by her mother who lives in a town called Tokawa in the Chiba-Choushi area. They live in a restaurant/canteen or something like that (<-that's how Kinoshita said it, not me)". They get off the train at Tokawa station and ask some lady for directions to the nearby restaurant/canteen. The lady directs them to a place called Mizukoshi. When they enter, they are seated by Nakamura's mom (of course Nakamura's mom and Kasuga don't know each other, though). There's one other customer eating there. Right after he leaves, someone else comes in (!!!) Kasuga hears Nakamura's mom say "welcome back, Sawa" and tells her to bring the meals to Kasuga's table. The "mystery" waitress brings the dishes to them normally and starts to walk away normally. Suddenly, Kasuga calls out "Nakamura-san! D-do you remember me? It's Kasuga.. Kasuga Takao... I've come to see you." Nakamura turns around and says "What's with that look on your face? Long time no see." with quite a pretty smile. Nakamura has slightly longer neat black hair and neat bangs now. She seems super normal. All the while, Tokiwa is just kind of gloomy :P. |

| A little sappy on the journey there but the art has tremendously improved for this author. What a long way to come since Yuutai Nova. He is now one of my favourite character designer. |
| It's fucking happening..... |
| Oh dear... it's happening. The chapters have been rather slow lately, for better or for worse. I get that it's trying to build up to this, but... |
I have my own anime blog. It's called Anime Viking. Hope you'll you read it! |
| My goodness, my heart was pounding when I knew this chapter was going to reveal Nakamura. I really can't wait for the next chapter..... I think this chapter really showed how much Kasuga grew up. I'm sure if he wasn't strong enough and was still running away from his past, he would have been so hesitant to call her. |
| Sawa > everything. I'm a bit disapointed of how relaxed she looks though, a bit like nothing happened with that guy. Was it only teenage angst? Disapointing! I want to know more though. I'm wondering if she's completely normal or if she kept some of that divine psycho in her. |
 It's broken. |
| Same old Nakamura she changed her looks but not her attitude. |
 |
| They finally meet. I can't wait for the next chapter. |

It's broken. |
| Oooh so that's what happened with Nakamura. Ah reunion too. Kinda awkward but hey, at least she remembers! |
 |
| Amazing chapter, and Nakamura is finally back! Can't wait for the next chapter. I feel like this is going to get really awkward and dramatic really fast since Tokiwa's there as well. |
| Am I the only one who thinks Nakamura is friggin hot right now? And please Nakamura, turn this manga into hell again, i beg you. |
| And the fire meets gasoline all over again. I just hope Tokiwa is the fire extinguisher. |

| omg she looks like Saeki |
apotheosi said: omg she looks like Saeki Yea with the longer hair.. but her smile still screams Nakamura :D Now it's a whole month until the next chapter :( |
| Ohhhhh Baudelaire! Next chapter is going to be awesome. |
 |
| That was unbelievably intense! The page where it revealed Nakamura's face, I paused and stared at it for about a whole minute with my jaw dropped. Nakamura looks really nice now but still... HOLY SHIT! Great chapter overall. I'm really excited to see the next chapter. |
 |
| Oh boy! Oh boy!! I can't wait for the next chapter!! |
 |
| I can't believe i read this chapter nervously.. damn |
 |
| She looks quite different - but yes she does sort of look like Saeki now. |
 |
| She looks different on the outside but she still have the same ''shit eater'' look. She dyed her hair black? |
 |
tsudecimo said: She looks different on the outside but she still have the same ''shit eater'' look. She dyed her hair black? It's more likely she dyed it in the begining and now's her natural color, but anything's possible with her I guess. |
It's broken. |
| I think her natural color was the first one and now she dyed it, since her mother has the same hair color than her at the beginning. But more important, that smile and then that look in Kasuga's eyes... I'm not sure if Nakamura changed, but he's going to fall into the flowers' temptation again |

| Holy shit.. intense..! i was on the edge of my seat.... fuckin Nakamura! 5/5 |
| Suddenly the ending song looping in my head |
| . |
| Tokiwa, save him! |
My DeviantArt and Pixiv and still waiting patiently for a 3rd season of Spice & Wolf :'| |
| And so, again, it begins.. |
| Man I see trouble ahead. Looks calm so far but the way Tokiwa keeps looking at Kasuga. She's definitely worried he still has feelings for Nakamura. It's obvious he does by the way he looks at her. What they had (however strange) doesn't just wither away after a couple of years. I see three possible out comes. 1. Nakamura became a little normal and simply wants to be left alone after the initial meeting. 2. Nakamura became a little normal and still has feelings for Kasuga which will turn into a love triangle. 3. Nakamura hasn't changed at all and will soon take the opportunity to mess with Tokiwa through Kasuga. I would prefer option 3 as this would be the most entertaining. Plus Nakamura can do this AND still have feelings for Kasuga which would be a bonus. No more waiting. Time for part of the story we've all been waiting for to begin. |
| Kasuga is on borders right now, so I truly wonder what he's thinking, which way he's headed. Back to the "other side" with Tokiwa, or stuck in the past? Seems to me like his mind is pretty clear at the moment, but Nakamura could shake him up any moment. I'm also eager to learn the backstory about Nakamura's mother and why they broke up, which may have caused Nakamura's condition at the time. It's amazing how representative both Tokiwa and Nakamura are of their respective origins, in looks and in actions alike. I'm curious who has the upper hand, if Nakamura has any advances to begin with. If SHE wants any of that to begin with. |
| Oh shit, my heat! Can't take the suspense. I hope Nakamura can get Kasuga to release his inner deviant again. This manga has become way too lax. |
| Does anyone know what Nakamura is saying in this page. It isn't translated in the translated version of this chapter. It's just left blank. I'm wondering why wasn't it translated. Someone please tell me what it says. BTW In the translated version it's page 28. In the RAW it's page 30 Spoiler http://raw.senmanga.com/Aku_no_Hana/52/30 |
KagamiD said: Does anyone know what Nakamura is saying in this page. I think she says something like "take your time" (literally: "please, relax") |
| Freaking EPIC!!! Got chills when she said, "long time no see." *o* |
 |
| Nakamura is back. Can't wait to see what happened on Nakamura's side. |

| Even though I like Tokiwa a lot, I am really looking forward to Nakamura ruining everybody's lives again. Maybe it'll happen, maybe it won't. |
| wow all that build up for what so we can see what she looked like at the end |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| I'm pretty surprised that Nakamura changed so much. IT's as though she was a different person o-0 I guess the ending is coming soon.... |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| Finally! Now we just gotta wait and see what happens next. |
| The author sure knows how to create that killer suspense. |
 |
| I think I was holding my breath for the majority of this chapter, talk about build up and suspense. I could feel my heart rate speed up as Nakamura made her entrance. I wonder how much she's changed and what kind of person she is. Aku no Hana continues to speak to me, I can really relate to Kasuga's feelings of needing to face his past in order to go on with his present. |
 |
| Loved the chapter, very tense. |
 |
| She's back. That should put to rest any lingering doubts about her status. Ooh. Sawa dyed her hair black and grew it out a bit. Almost like she turned into someone else without the glasses. I thought Takao's looks changed a lot... until I saw post-skip Sawa. That sly look on her face is recognizable, though. Aya's expressions throughout the chapter is a cause for concern, however. She looks like she's about to snap at times. |
