@Jakeandhistoe Yup, that smile was definitely huge by this manga's standards.
As for page 12, I appreciate your support of my form of "desu" conveyance. As far as another ellipsis goes, that could definitely help, but I'm not too fond of ellipsis sandwiches and tend to avoid them unless the original work has it that way. Also, I'm sure the aggregators have picked it up in this form, so I guess I'll let it lie. I want to reiterate that I really am glad you shared your opinion on page 12, in case I sounded sarcastic or something in the previous sentences.
