Whew, glad to see I was right and (Sayuri) childhood friend survives another chapter. I didn't think it was good writing to randomly introduce some one-off nameless stalker... but it does give a reasonable excuse for Sayuri to return to her home town.
Now lets see what Ayame has in store for Sayuri... or will Ayame leave Sayuri be because she doesn't threaten Ota-kun?
But it is just as likely Ayame's jealousy will be deadly. But for now, Ayame hasn't said anything about being the only one for Ota-kun or demanding he looks her way only. But maybe I am just hopeful for a sca-rousal horny; only time will tell if I'm coping.

I'm curious what happened on page 28-30, as it seems the stalker was hit by a psychic blast by Ayame(?) as he was about to ram into Ota kun. Still haven't figured out what sort of yokai/spirit Ayame is. I suppose we will have to wait and see if Ayame's "curse" manifests itself during the police interrogation.

Dunno what Ota-mom is up to on the last page, but sure looks like she is about to be manipulated/taken advantage of/scammed by some guy. Such is the Japanese view of dumb, docile, obedient trad wives. Ota-mom doesn't look bad at all, but she does have the classic "dead mom" haircut. And given how dark this manga has been thus far, well...

At least we can expect more to come of the story at least...
