After going back to some of the early chapters to compare Chizuru's trunk-ation (it's all over the map -- sometimes worse than this chapter, sometimes better, occasionally does follow the rule of eighths), I have to say:
For all that Simpzuya is still pathetic, I do have to admit he's had "growth" in his own fashion. (And no, I don't just mean what he does with Little Simpzuya every time he fantasizes about Chizuru with someone else.)
Early Simpzuya seriously needed to be locked up, and only escaped it through plot armor. By contrast, current Simpzuya is only laughably pathetic as long as he's being protected from reality.
Chizuru on the other hand appears to have a terminal case of Stupid Love Interest, be developing Stockholm Syndrome, be plotting "he's so pathetic I could literally bang my real lover in front of him and he'd pay for it", or maybe all three.
