the start of timeskip was already establishing it but Akane really has become just as eccentric as her seniors lol, spending the night on the beach to get in the mindset is wild
that aside, the relationship between Akane, Hikaru, and Karashi is just So good lol, that last page brought me right back to the post-Karaku Cup celebration Akane had. She doesn't have her brothers with her but she's got her own lil family to laugh and live with that she's slowly growing... can't wait to see what performances those three bust out next
