Y'know, there was enough tension between Mao and Aiko to keep the story rolling; we didn't need the Evil Editor to artificially ramp things up. What an annoying character.
FFS, kid, just go out with Ninomae already! She's probably out of your league, but for some odd reason she seems into you. Grab her before she comes to her senses!
Poor Asa. Her parents are dead--no parental love.
Emiri is drifting away from her, and she can't figure out why.
Makio said from the beginning "I don't know if I can love you," and I'm sure Asa heard her words this chapter as being about her (she is a tad self-centered), meaning Makio...
Well, that was an annoying ending. A 16 year old's infatuation with an older woman he barely knows transforms into true love after a year of not seeing each other? Blech.
Kaede dodged a bullet by not ending up with him.
I kinda wonder if she's a paid employee, or just working for room and board... She had to get pocket money from Mother at one point.
I hope when Sumire graduates and moves out on her own, Kiyo goes with her as a personal assistant/cook/maid.
