Tama and Akane should be allies as they are the same in many areas.
Zanma-sensei really has a knack for endearing characters, and with Tama and Kogane being friends, I doubt it's the last we'll see of Ukano-okami-sama. Goro matter-of-factly treating Kogane as his wife has me more worried than heartwarmed, though. Goro's emotions, or lack thereof, still strike me as the ticking timebomb hidden in plain sight. The one who bears the brunt of the blast may not be Goro this time, either. It's clear Kogane wants intimacy with him, and if he's not able to give it, it'll hurt Kogane more than a curse backlash. I continue to watch intently as this develops.
"New" fox? Dare I hope Kogane's unnamed friend gets a name? Thanks as always to sarusa and thunmper.
