Mase-chan and Okute-chan are now recurring characters as well. This manga has such a fun cast; how does Masuda-sensei keep doing this? In 20 chapters we've gotten an entire train of people...
It's interesting how Nayu reacted to Mase-chan receiving a gift, as well as the ensuing conversation. I'm sure she has a gift for Hikoichi as well.
Anyways, next chapter has a color page. In other words, my peak alert is going off like crazy. I cannot wait.
