Everybody gets a love interest ! Balanced, as all things should be. I'm happy though, Izumi has grown on me over time, she deserves to have someone as well.
I knew this was coming since the penalty game but glad to see it. Love really does feel like a pitfall you just walk into and then you go "oh" when you realize you're there.
I think I've forgotten too much about this series. Everyone is talking about how they saw it coming, and my first thought when I read the chapter was "wow, I didn't expect this."
