@Chuggoth Oh hell no, keep romcom elements out of this! Or just in occasional chapters, but otherwise as far in the background as possible. If I want to read a Masuda romcom I'll stick to Jitsu wa, thank you.
Anyway, I'm glad they didn't back out from the "bottom twelve out" rule. It's handled much more humanely than I expected all in all. And the page of Tanuma crying is simply beautiful.
But, err, shouldn't Hoozuki know all this already?
