I like how Kurita's love rivalry isn't adversarial, but rather cooperative-- it's funny how Niki is the one to take the initiative to visit Yamaoka, but Kurita takes the time to observe the situation and figure out a menu that they'd work together on! They make a surprisingly good team, given the circumstances, and the tl really oomphs the way they show their personalities! Thanks as always✌️
(Also, I really appreciated Hanasaki Akira's cartooning this chapter-- he juggled a lot of characters and dialogue with clever page layouts, and I can't help but marvel at how effortlessly he blends the differently demanding renders of expressions/characters/backgrounds/foods with the reading experience! I don't know if he worked with assistants, but even so, it's a damn good comic and rich with effort, thank you for sharing it w a wider audience!)
