I'm getting some heartwarming Tohru and Momiji vibes from Ito and Rui. (∩≧ᴗ≦∩) I love how realistic a kid he is, too. So many kids in manga are portrayed as idealistic, angelic, eternally adorable munchkins, but he keeps reminding me of my own younger siblings or kids I've babysat.
And oh...
@unime I think it would be unusual for most elementary schoolers to be truly adept at embroidery, at least. Capable, but not necessarily super skilled. However, we know from the manga that Takasugi finds joy in sewing and does it a lot (it seems to be her main hobby), and we also have seen...
@unime They're in elementary school and look fairly young, so somewhere between five and ten, probably. Kids can learn to sew/embroider from a fairly young age — as long as they have the fine motor skills to hold and direct a needle, they're capable. I learned to sew when I was five or six, for...
I kept chortling throughout the chapter, but then I reached the end and had to roll around outright giggling. Oh, this couple. Jealous Runa, aggressive Runa, and Ayumu finally being conscious of him... and still totally missing everything. I'll just be over here cackling gleefully until OUAD...
I had to stop reading twice to kick and squee, and when I got to the end I went back and read it all again. Oh goodness, these two are so cute! And wholesome! And they make so much progress! There have been a million and one manga that have used the "cute" "isn't it?" exchange without the guy...

@Qelix In most relay races, you're not supposed to run back to your teammate — there's a point you're not allowed to cross, and your teammate has to get the baton to that point and hand it off to you before you can move. (You also can't throw the baton.) He probably can't run back to catch her...
Note: The girls in the extra page at the end are usually shown together, and here their names are given as Shiozawa and Satou. The extra page is not available in the free online raws, so I can't check the kanji, but it's very likely that their names mean "salt" and "sugar" (塩 = shio, 砂糖 =...
