I know I should be calmly waiting a week, but I keep clicking back and rereading parts of this chapter.
And I've reached a new conclusion: Shino's tears in that last page are just way, way too tragic. We need to see her smiling from the bottom of her heart... NAOYA~!
Also, while I'm making my wish list, let me add that I wanted more fanservice on the hot springs trip. I paranoidly worry that the editors are concerned about moral backlash by depicting poly relationships in an uncriticized context, and so are ramping up the drama and toning down the fanservice/happy interactions between heroines.
