@Lithe I wouldn't describe Takehiro as "shoehorned" in. Him, his dad, Mr. Shige, Ms. Uchi, Mr. Wada, and Kunio are the main recurring islanders in the story.
@First_Mate_Zoro I would. Unless you think an inspirational speech can wake a doctor up so he can continue performing surgery on himself somehow isn't cheesy, I think he was basically forced back in, even if it's natural for a story like this.
The Takehiro shouting part is strong but THAT SCENE WITH THE CROWD, IT'S SOOO STRONG AAAAAAA
This chapter is so... moving. The talk between Takehiro and the dad as well...
