I don't know how to feel about this I mean this is to far out there, if is the only reason why the author kept the fiction animal girl so they could use it for this little arc or chapter then that is a bad and lazy writing. Also have the other Hitomi confessing her feelings like this seem so poorly done, yes in a past chapter she have said Jin is in love with Lanka because how Jin act with her, but also Jin could be caring about her as a friend, I mean Jin has to Hitomi he is in love with her and not Lanka. The author is try to use relish I have feeling for that person this entire time trope. I mean if it was not Lanka then it could be the panda Jin been in love with the Panda girl this whole time. Anyway Im going to stick with this manga till the end because I came this far all ready.
