I get that it's a SoL spin, but this chapter still seems extremely uneventful, considering the length. I don't think that's the pacing a monthly manga should follow. No noticeable change in interactions between Harumi and Matsuri feels like a bit of a waste, but I suppose that's not the focus of this chapter. Potential ring drama feels forced, but if it pushes Mei further out of her shell, then it's all good.
