I'm slightly optimistic about Ma'am Shiraishi and Marika's relationship. Her mind seems to be in the right place now, for making a new start with her daughter.
Is it a new start? Maybe. Maybe not, probably just a continuation with new context mixed in.
I hope Marika's mom encounters a bunch more stuff, to convince her that she's also the reincarnated Takae kekw
p.s. renji's here too all of a sudden 🍜
