Nothing of importance overall, but I guess it's nice he's kind of getting his act together.

When you look at this couple, part of it has the vibe of maternal instinct from Tokiwa towards Kasuga. The other being him playing the supporting and mentor role in her novel write up. I guess the last 2 pages in this chapter of him 'being back' signifies he is on his route to recovery from his past.

I think Kasuga still sees Nakamura in Tokiwa somehow

Although I somehow like how everything's going positive right now, I kind of miss the havoc Nakamura was causing. I have to admit, Nakamura was Aku No Hana. It's just not the same without her.

Chapter was important. It may not have been particularly eventful, but it nailed the introspection and anxiety that Takao is going through now that he's with Tokiwa; he's taken a leap by trying to make himself happy, but is terrified that he'll harm her in the process. I loved the subdued feeling this chapter gave, and the ending to it was a great payoff.

Can't wait for the next chapter.

To put it quite simple.

He left his world full of illusions and edginess and become a shiteater once again which is for the better. Man, I miss Nakamura.

I hope we don't get trolled with Nakamura with incoming chapters. But knowing how this manga's been so far, something crazy is bound to happen soon.

I also think when he said I'm home there he was sort of telling them that they don't have to worry about him anymore.
His relationship with her seems pretty healthy actually, but when he makes weird faces and cries like that for no reason, that is pretty akward.
The brother was weird too.

I'm glad he's finally recuperating from his past, but I'm still wary about Saeki f-king it up for him instead of Nakamura, since she can keep in contact with him while Nakamura is still MIA.

... is it really going to for happy ending? I don't like it, and this whole chapter was like "oh im so happy, yes i agree to whatever you say, write your novel I want to read it". I hope something will change and the depressing mood will come back. Nakamura where are you!?

It's just plain weird to see a chapter so peaceful and heartwarming like this in a series such as this one.

That plane. What is up with that fucking plane? It kept making me think of the Breaking Bad Season 2 finale, and that stuff makes me very anxious. It doesn't help that I've been comparing Aku no Hana to Breaking Bad recently.

This chapter had such a happy vibe. Kasuga is now dating Tokiwa and they're so cute together. I just know shit is going to go down in the later chapters because this is too good to be true.

Kasuga's finally starting to be truly happy now but I don't think it'll last for too long. Rather tragic. I expect Nakamura to make her return one way or another and possibly fuck up Kasuga's life once more.

Oh god, a happy chapter, i have a feeling this happiness won't last long, afterall it's aku no hana we're talking about, the mangaka is a sadist, he likes to see his characters suffer. I just wish it won't have too sad of an ending.

The Shape of happiness might resemble glass. Even though you don't usually notice it, it's still definitely there, you merely have to change your Point of View slightly and that glass will sparkle when it reflects the light..

Read chapters 1-46 all in one night. I'm in love with the series so far. I doubt it will happen, but if kasuga finally just becomes happy with Tokiwa and his family comes together again that would be a great ending for me. 99% chance nakamura is coming back though, pretty obvious since we saw Saeki come back. Can't even imagine what will happen then.

Wow... Real character recovery from a tragaedy, like in a real worl situation when you fuck up your life.

Really, I couldn't like or sympathize with Nakamura, ough I knew what she was saying, its a message to society, but I didn't like what she dis.

And now he is on the road to recovery... It would be amazing if the manga ends happily, about a person healing, kind of like clannad

Pretty much this. That guy gives bad me bad vibes....how creepy were his expressions? Aside from that, this chapter was great, I teared up when Takao asked, "is this happiness that I'm feeling?" It's sad that he hasn't felt truly happy for a long time. I'm also very proud of him at the end when he said, "I'm home." It's about time he tried to make up with his family.

Pretty uneventful but that last part with Takao and his parents was nice since. Seemed like just kind of a calm chapter in between the pervious hectic ones and most likely the future dramatic ones.

Also, am I the only one who thinks Takao got 300% better after the time skip. He's still not a great protagonist, but he has his moments and he's calmed down and become less annoying. He's not the stereotypical "freaks out every time a girl does something the 50th time" protagonist anymore (like Yuuki Rito from To Love-Ru).

He appears to see Nakamura in Aya, and it's probably the reason why he felt attracted to her. However, something happened in the middle of their date, and he appeared to have 'broke' the ghost of his past. His saying "I'm back!" at the end was quite powerful imo, showing his recovery. Good job Takao.

"I'm home."

Another "calm before the storm" moment, is it? Let Takao build something up before the mangaka tears it all down again. It would be a surprise if nothing bad actually happens to him in the coming chapters. All of this seems too good to be true, knowing what kind of manga this is...

I hope he never meets nakamura ever again. that girl ruined his life -_- quite sure she will appear at some time, though.. poor guy.

All she did was to drove him into a psychological corner.. he's healing from it..

While this chapter was nice and it was good to see Kasuga getting over the past, I don't think Saeki is ready for him to move on. Obviously in some way she hasn't gotten over Kasuga and all the past events. Doesn't really seem like she's just gonna sit back and let time heal all the scars. She's turned into Nakamura in some way.

It seems pretty likely that Nakamura will turn up somewhere. If she doesn't, I'll be pretty surprised. I'm just curious if it'll be one of those 180 turnarounds or she'll show up and throw a wrench in everything.

Since the anime ended, I started reading this and finished it in a day. It was fun.

I see many comments saying how Kasuga will fuck it up later, but for some reason I sense it might be Saeki instead. I can't wait for the next chapter.
