Rant(s) ahead. Its painful to see that the author doesn't really care about Noa's growth anymore. Feels like they're feeding into her delusions more and more even though it was at some point the main plot for her to get better and stop being reliant/clingy. Unfortunately the only person changing...
With the way he reacts, I'm hoping its something interesting like our mc not being into dudes and having a struggle or something of that sort instead of just "yeah he looks girl enough." it probably wont be that deep though.
With the way it was worded, that he released blood and the other gunk, it likely will have helped him, but he did say that even if it was drained he wouldn't live long.
off topic but early on i said ehta wouldnt live all that long, like a couple years, and that disease he has kind of confirmed it. Either he dies in a fight/afterwards or the disease catches up to him. Anyways thanks for the chapter
im guessing the kids in that final panel act as more of a batman team for the heroes, like actually killing and willing to do evil stuff, ends justify the means etc.
One thing i really do hate is that misaki is kind of forcing hareta to like the other girls when he has no obligation to feel that way for them, it is a game so it's his personality,
With how the author shows us old man's efforts dreams and actions, we will either get a depressing ending or a total win, at the cost of many lives and relationships
