I noted it earlier but this really is Yakou-san's career path story, and i'm loving it
Also, has someone noticed the trend that somehow 1 person is always clueless on Usogoi's team, and we usually get the games from their perspective, trying to piece the puzzle together. Meanwhile, the rest of them, knowingly or trustingly are all under cahoots. Yet, since it rotates around, and every side character brings their own fresh and mostly pivotal part to the story, this repetitiveness doesn't seem that bad of a story telling method.
In a sense you could virtually feel around 20 different characters being the protagonists of their own story within the Usogoiverse.
