Yep, not a fan on how they are basically making Uka a trophy for their little gamble. Still, I'm looking forward to how Kai and Uka's relationship will develop during this love rival arc.
Btw, I was so sure that Takamine would definitely become the love rival, just for the heck of it (as in, he would do it out of mischief or something lol). Takizawa is a nice guy overall, tho. I wish somehow he will get a good ending, even if he doesn't end up with Uka.
Thank you so much for the translation!
