Forget the beyond tired lolicon pandering (at least there was some Haru this time around), forget that sociopathically unfunny jester Marina (seriously, someone's beloved is missing and the first thing you imply--before going on to apparently taunt that lover at least twice--is that they're dead)--it finally happened.
At a cliffhanger.
Well played, Tokino Yousuke (author)--well played.
