I'm not even surprised this chapter was good. Like it gets better and better. I'm not gon' comment a lot in the serious side of things tho.
Normally we would get a whole flashback episode, following that "show don't tell" principle. But this manga is not about the suffering. Is about getting over the suffering and living life to the max. So it's enough if the matter at hand it's just told in a conversation like it would in real life and somehow it still feels fresh.
Also, that pose for the photo... Akebi is so smooth getting Erika to hold hands with her!
Obviously had to look like it came from some fashion magazine
