Even if the dark past seems to come back, I hope the team would still be together playing koto through the end. They have gone this far. Please let Chika to be free from the shackles.
I was hoping this plot point was actually pruned off. Too bad. These gangland past rigmaroles always seem like a boring part of the story to me. Especially since Chika has already transcended way past his "younger days" self. Unless the mangaka does a good job of telling this part of the story, or includes some big surprise, I'm afraid it's going to feel a lot like filler or retelling of something the readers already know.
We all knew this was coming.. Chika's past has finally caught up to him. I hope how it will be resolved won't be so cliché. I think eventually, we might even have Chika's father come into the picture somehow.
That last scene
Was wishing that thw video cut off because club president snatched the TV cable out of embarassement, but it is because a notice of storm coming instead
Dayuum looks likebthis thugs are connected to chika's past...I can already see them about to wreck some koto.
Only one thing I'm sure more chika x hotsuki moments and progress to their relationship coming up *v*.because of this possible threat.
