Fuck, I missed that reference to the Grave of the Fireflies the first time I read through this. Shit, that brings up some sad memories.

@GaboDabo I was rooting for Akari x Kiriyama but that ship didnt sail. Thats why I said that. I actually left after that one chapter. Anyway, I just dropped to clarify my allegiance 😆 Akari ftw

@maki-sama damn that's too bad, even though the best ship is dead, this manga is still hella good

Why does she have to be with Kiriyama, specifically, though? I don't get fan obsessions with specific pairings. Sure, she's great, but why can't she be paired with another great person that's closer to her age? Takashi (Hayashida-sensei) seems quite smitten with her, even though she doesn't seem to be aware of his presence, so far. Her obsession over Nikaido (Harunobu) was really only for like that one chapter. She's honestly not shown any growing closeness with anyone.

Really, Akari was more like a new parental figure for Rei. It was always him and Hinata for something more. The first distinct sign of it was when he followed her the night that Obon was ending, and stayed with her while she cried (Chapter 6, AKA Episode 3 part 2). Ever since then, they have been piling on the little moments to reinforce just how much they support each other in ways no one else can, and how much they matter to each other grows and grows.

Akari never had those moments with anyone, let alone Rei. Outside of her rescuing him from out front of her aunt's club, their status with each other has been pretty static.

Hinata, on the other hand, is a real firecracker full of energy and light that Rei desperately needed in his life, more than just another mother figure.

This was the funniest chapter so far. The author certainly took everything out of the new haircut. Only Rei's reaction was missing.
