I was against those ninjachicks joining him, as it is obvious, they'll just become poisoned or hurt again in a fight. But at least they are sufficient as door openers. Casual catgirls, but does the editor actually believe anybody to fan over them as waifus?
Uh, an ominous tattoo. But it sure won't be a buff by Touma's or something
And after she got hit by that bitch, Leviathan has been affected by something/ been brainwashed. The treachery.

Btw: If someone yells, "She's my wife! Let's duel! Winner gets her!", even though it's just a one sided wish, but the girl replies, "Yeah, whatever. I accept. Now Husbando (me), save me and beat the shit out of him. " ^ω^ *teehee* and those feelings are also one sided, I'd go "Challenge excepted aaaaaand I give up. Don't pick fights for me. Deal with your own crap, you little shit. Well buddy, guess she wants to be yours, as she agreed to those conditions." Then I'd step aside, open up bucket of Häagen-Dazs or popcorn and a coke or beer and enjoy the drama unfolding.
We nearly live in 2020! Girl, if you want me, but I don't want you (aside from a bit fun) court me! You heard me right! If I don't want a relationship, make me do want it! Nobody likes spoiled brats. Verdammte Rotzgöre. (And also nobody likes sarcastic a$$holes, but that's a different matter.)
EDIT: Oh yeah, but even if I take sh*t about it, this manga is still fun to read so far. Thanks for picking it up.
