I know he's not the main character, but this man deserve the spot as one of the best MC. And I can't believe they also killed our "real" main character... well, she's a zombie, but still... 🤣
This is why I love this manga and this author. Such mundane things always seem that little bit more special without feeling unrealistic (even when magic is involved) and the attention to detail on little things that don't seem like they'd matter but they do i.e. Tachibana cleaning her glasses or the other characters and/or background NPCs actually doing stuff while the focus conversation is going on; it feels way more organic and like real people.
And Kei becoming either a harem master or the straight gay friend lol. I cast my vote for the later. I'm one of those and it's fun/enlightening; when a bunch of women all feel so comfortable around you that they have their normal women chats you learn shit.
These new characters are fun, I hope we get to see more of them! Mako mentioned that she's going home over summer break so I wonder if we're going to meet her parents. Akane and Mako are interesting kids to say the least, haha.
