Despite the translation quality of the 'Corseltel' series, I'd encourage anyone looking to brighten their day to give this series a shot. It's an odd setting, but the character interactions and designs are all super cute and wholesome!
I don't think Eren was responsible for the Titan Smoke, I think that was just a defence mechanism by the apparent source of Titans (the 'Titan Worm'?).
Ah. It seems that the Highschool Rumour Mill is the newest antagonist. It's a good thing that Ritsu isn't more popular in the school, otherwise the rumours would've quickly devolved from the two making out in the classroom to Itsuki/Izuki blowing the entire baseball team.
To be fair to Itsuki, he/she did try to press on with the confession regardless and probably would've succeeded if WorstGirl! Maya hadn't shown up.
I'm gonna think the next trope is that the brother falls for Itsuki or something like that?
Smart Character 1: "Haha! I knew you were going to do that, so I did this!
Smart Character 2: "Fool! I knew that you knew, so I went ahead and did...this!
Smart Character 1: "Bwahaha! You think I didn't know that you knew that I knew you knew?! Why do you think I was waiting here?!"
Smart...
I really like how even the most seemingly vile characters in AoT have understandable and sympathetic motivations. It's always refreshing to see when a Shounen series does this rather than fall back on the generic bad guy antagonist model.
I wonder how much hate mail the author got after this chapter was released...
Fare thee well, Sasha. May your afterlife be filled with all of the potatoes and meat that you could ever desire.
