Shadows House is an ensemble drama (the author stated it himself), and I think they want to give each character as much spotlight as possible, and this chapter exists for that.
Even I already thought of Shaun is Suzanna's brother, it's still a cute chapter tho:wooow:
I think that's the problem. Soumatou wants to deepen the characters in the story, but the editor is too impatient to get to the interesting parts. I know his intention is nice. maybe he thought it will help sales. but honestly, it just ends up a mess.
If I remember correctly, Soumatou-sensei...
