taketora always gave bad vibes and this chapter didn't improve that feeling. it seems he must be quite older than hinako, since he researched time travel in the present day, so it's a bit ick to ship them even if she likes him. i love how he seems to be so obsessed with covering his tracks but then whips a gun out at a tea party like it's nothing! right at her face while she's confessing. cold-hearted
this manga gives such strange feelings because i love the scenes with hina and takaaki the most but i also don't mind her scenes with kiku at all? like i know it's a love triangle thing, but the way the author handles this type of cliche feels nice? each character has reasons apart from simple "love" for admiring each other, maybe that's what it is.
