Before I was really upset with where this was going but still extremely interested! Now that I know where this is going, I'm okay. I'm in LOVE with Shinkawa and that kid, it's great. Can't wait to see how that ends up in the next volume :D
The one thing I can't understand is why everybody is so hung up on Takaaki, seriously. I hate people who can't make up their mind. But I don't understand Shinkawa either. If I'm honest, I'm annoyed with almost all the characters, but I still want to know how it all ends, dammit.
