I'm astonished at how this story manages to make Uchika even worse at every new chapter. Every single time I think she can't sink lower, she outdoes herself. Also, fuck that creepy old man and Coach for not standing up to him.
@Lucky168 I agree. Ritsuko is not really tactful and can be an asshole but she does care about Nozomi. Nozomi does need to sort this "dependence" business because in the long run it will not only fuck with her life but with Shino's too.
@gruntZone360 She has been grieving for Taichi since day one. Nozomi is just really good at hiding it. In the latest chapters we have seen more of her inner thoughts, so her grief and insecurities regarding Shino are a bit more transparent.
@mikegnesium perhaps there's a reason I didn't even mention Dynasty. Well, there is: I don't give two shits about it or its "community". And also, no Dynasty is not the "largest GL community". It is the biggest GL manga reader, tho. I just find the shoujo-ai term stupid and unnecessary, but it...

"Aloof, cool beauty". Come on, Yashiro. You have seen already that she is a huge dork. As @AthalosJ said, Yashiro critical flaw is his lack of research. Hell, even his persona is built after the wrong archetype, at least for a shounen manga hahahaha
@ChaosHead90 I have bad news for you then: According to some people, the manga shift its tone to the same as the anime early on the 4th volume. I don't know if this is true or not, but it would certainly explain the drastic tone change the anime has.
