This manga took me by surprise. It was way calmer than the others and I liked that. Chiharu and Kazuki faced one of perhaps the most challenging situations so far. Or, well, started to because there is a lot left to go on.
I think so far this is my favourite manga featuring Chiharu and Kazuki, one where Chiharu's true colours surface even more in front of Kazuki. And Kazuki, I really enjoyed his development, he went from a kid who I didn't think would ever be able to hold his ground to a man who knows exactly what to do and say in order to placate and, to an extent, manipulate Chiharu. Of course, compromises are to be made, but still, he came a long way.
I have to say it again because it's been a while since I did, Chiharu is nuts. That guy is so close to losing it. But now I feel more assured that Kazuki can rein him in. Can't believe I'm actually interested in this pairing. They are still not my favourites, but they are a curious pair.
