Hot damn that was an excellent chapter to ramp things up again! It was nice having some down time with the girls and A sleep over but this got me sorry excited for this next arc. Looks like some readers were right to stay suspicious of Ai. Looks like she thinks of herself as more of a victim...
Thanks to everyone for clarifying the "spoilers." Unfortunately we've all been *burned by lackluster Yuri development in the past to where it's believable. Fingers crossed this story keeps going strong because it's been really enjoyable so far.
