Thanks for the chapter. I think the plot is all over the place right now, considering the axe and the author presumably trying to fit in a number of important arcs into these last bits, and hopefully the pacing is fixed by the conclusion.

That being said, I think this is holding up alright with how carefully Uhana Ririka has been writing the character interactions even under a situation of incoherent plot writing. There's a lot of careful decisions made in the dynamic between Miki, Tao, and Tsumugu that shines in specific moments even when the plot is rushed - the Miki and Tao interaction here was a good example, putting together both a serious topic (Tao being a trans woman, Miki liking women, and the relationship between figuring out gender and figuring out sexuality layered with a gentleness) along with the characteristic exaggerated comedic timing. Drawn expressions are funny too. I really enjoy these characters (and Saku as well, who I wish had more time) and think Uhana Ririka's strength shines in character writing and hope her next work focuses on this (or she gets more breathing room to have a full plot). Seems to me that Uhana Ririka wanted to quickly get some important character arc beats for Saku, Miki, and Tao through before wrapping it up, plot be damned. Totally understand this being a divisive work at this point though, the plot's basically not there anymore right now. And I have no idea why Ao is still around, lol.

Looking forward to the next chapter.
