With each chapter, I always thought it couldn't get any gayer, but it did. Seeing Akebi and Erika's sweet moments make my heart clench, in a good way. Their relationship has a very nice build up, to be honest, it's one of the best I've ever seen, especially since this is still an SoL manga. We actually get to see the development. I do think that there was a lot of subtext in the earlier chapters, but with the way things are going now... I can safely say that this has gone way out of subtext territory. Love it.
