Higanjima won't be the same without Ken-chan...
What a motherfucking badass, makes Akira's stunts feel kinda cheap compared to metal chad Kenny-boi.
Also feels cheap that Yuki will just get together with Akira just like that after this epic sacrifice, makes me hope she doesn't, Ken-chan deserves better than dying a fully blown cuck tbh (Yuki already has the hots for Akira atm, it would be a nice developmet to see, if that cliche japanese "forever faithful even after death" Clannad style popped in to honor his sacrifice properly, while also making Yuki feel any guilt over her actions some dozens of chapters ago).
But alas, we kinda know that Akira is a creator's pet, so I wouldn't get my hopes up. It was sure a bliss to have more than 10 Ken-chan centered (hell, any other character centered really, but especially Ken) chapters like we just had tho, that's kinda when Higanjima really gets me invested every time, Akira used to be interesting before the battle shounen spirit got to him after the "island escape attempt" arc.
Hm, thinking about it, is there a japanese wikia for Higanjima? Kinda curious to see how they structure the arcs.
