Tori hamu: https://japan.recipetineats.com/home-made-chicken-ham-recipe-tori-hamu/

Man...between Grandma's appearance at the beginning, then her being wistfully mentioned, I'm really hoping nothing bad happens to her to give Haruto's blissful day a tragic denouement.

No, but they are different. They come from a different tradition of forging, which can be a difficult thing to recreate whole-cloth, especially when you're already so far down another path. It even says that they were able to create katana-shaped objects—things that I assume mimicked or even...

The "remains" include even the memory of Iruma; don't forget they used memory-alteration magic after Merize was returned to the human world. The letter would be one more thing they'd have to erase from the minds of everyone who saw it.

Now we just have to hope it doesn't mean the author has decided to rush the end of the manga.

Perhaps; I was wondering if it was because of the jealousy conversation in the previous chapter. Tsumugi might have an inkling about it—just being observant, not necessarily that Ibuki brought it up—and be changing his behavior, with Tomo also being primed to notice the change.

One of the things I dislike about a lot of rom-com manga is when the MC's only social interactions are with love interests, so I really appreciate when they have friends and social lives like this

Interesting to finally see some story attached to a game I've only ever seen...ahh...select screenshots from!

I mean, they can keep adding new characters outside the mercenary corp, like they did here with Tebis. And I could see at least Gungrave getting another dish storyline, and maybe a group meal to wrap things up.

Opera giving big Rorschach-in-prison energy there; "You're not taking me prisoner, I'm taking all of Demon Border Patrol hostage to ensure Iruma's safety."

Iruma: "I'm a human..." Azz & Clara: "Awesome, explains a lot, how do we sign up to be your familiars, too?" That being said, we know that Azz hasn't revealed his bloodline ability yet, and a big group stand-off with Iruma on the line would be a great time to reveal it...especially if it has...

I mean, he explicitly says (well, thinks) that his lifestyle of broad, shallow relationships is wearing on him right at the moment that Youta extends a hand to him, so that seems like the obvious conclusion to draw.

As others have said, the relative ages can have a big effect, but let's not discount the fact the she's a woman herself. Men will have an element of "otherness" that wouldn't apply to women, especially in a culture where traditional gender roles are given so much importance like Japan.

If he does fall asleep, it'll be interesting: the first time we've seen him sleep while she's awake. Could be used for some interesting developments with their dream connection...

Alas, given how these sorts of stories are structured, that won't be resolved until a big "he confronts her about his trauma" moment to get everything out in the open. Something will happen to trigger his PTSD—maybe Izumi and the brother will run into each other at the mall, and then Tohno will...
