Hmm though I think it was kind of weak overall, chapter 8 was a really glowing moment of character development for Baodi. It was in that moment that I actually felt like I understood why any of the characters in this manga were acting the way they did.
@Infel - yeh, I believe the mangaka had a more fleshed out plot and character development planned but since the story was getting axed (and the magazine was also ceasing to publish/exist), she had to rush it all.
