it's always such a good time whenever the Karaku Cup trio are interacting lol, loved Akane immediately resetting any tension as soon as she showed up. I want Akane to take this but I'm just happy we're gonna see them all talking and growing now that they're all around together again
also I swear, the art's always been good but something about the post-timeskip art has really been hitting (the color cover this week and those close-up pages of Hikaru and Karashi? Sheesh), makes me all the more excited to see all the performances we're gonna get from this event
