This might be my favorite chapter of the series. The ending as well as the subtly of how it was handled. Kanoe, The Mom and Grandpa knew what was going on ("friend" being code for "dad") and as the kid got older he figured it out as well.
Overall, it's nice reading a series where fathers are...
This "conflict" between Narumi and Shirogane is so annoying. All they have to do is talk it out and even now the author is stretching it out by not having Narumi interested in his past.
The classic misunderstanding is annoying but at least it's balanced out by Taira knowing she may like him.
On a side note, the author really knows how to make characters you care about. Very strong storytelling.
