I feel like chapters like this are more to the series strength. When I'm not expected to take this series seriously, I enjoy it a lot. While the characters may not be that unique or complex, the character interactions are very fun. That one girl (Sazanami) is gonna be a whole lot of fun going forward, I'm hoping that something does actually develop there. So far those two (Sazanami & the scared guy) plus the angry guy (I'm not the best with names), are my favorite characters.
