Ah damn I knew Chika's past is bound to come haunt him eventually, but still, I was not ready for this. Though I guess this will finally be time for Satowa and us readers to finally learn more about him. Not that we don't know plenty already, but this seems like next step towards development of their relationship. And going by chapter count, chances are next volume will tackle that, before we go into the Nationals, so that means most likely 5 months of suffering in drama.
But I have faith they will all overcome it, even if this kind of development feels bit cheap, this manga hasn't dissappointed before and I have lot of faith into upcoming chapters. Even when they will plunge a knife in my gut and twist it.
Sane and Momoya talking about Sane's sound really felt like foreshadowing for eventual breaking of status quo in the club. The only question is whether it'll happen before or after nationals.
Anyways great chapter, I just binged the manga, now it's time for reread while i suffer waiting for next.
