Wow, you're on a roll anon-chan man. Thanks for the update, but I hope you don't overwork yourself. And as others have said, we don't mind the rambles, the rambles are fun.
Really liked this chapter, with all these flashbacks and Hayasaka playing house (Mafuyu edition) with Mafuyu. We're getting closer every time to the truth and yet still have a way to go. At the same time, Hayasaka is getting dangerously close to being able to connect Mafuyu with the Higashi delinquents, but he'll probably still not get it anyway. I wonder if he'll ever learn by the end of the manga... Probably. But who knows how it'll happen.
