Makoto princess carrying Momoko. And he even tried to shield her from the impact debris. You love to see it.
But damn that misunderstanding. It's infuriating! It almost makes me want to flip tables just when I had a taste of what I wanted to see. The one pair I care about fail to get together and it says it's a blessing in disguise? That was a perfectly contrived way to bring them together and it manages to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory?
Dammit, why does this manga keep letting me down?
