Man screw this arc and screw this guy and his hypocrisy. I wonder if the woman who was left high and dry is going to be addressed realistically or if it's going to be left with a contrived lame platitude of happy ending.
So many complaints about this arc for "becoming a battle manga", but this isn't something that began with this arc.
This is something that pretty much began with the introduction of the tanuki in chapter 15.
I don't see a problem with the story not being forced to be a SoL all the time.
