Thus ends the Kobachi backstory arc.
Even as someone who isn't team Kobachi, this might be one of my favourite arcs. And this speaks volume about this manga as more than those one in a million love triangle/harem manga.
I was worried about how the manga would play things post-confession or even if it would end soon but Kobachi backstory being fleshed out here was just really good.
I got to understand why Kobachi was the way she was in how dedicated at her research she was, why she was so sheltered before meeting Saraki and her motivations.
Kouhei (Kobachi's dad) had some beautiful words at the end. There's something relatable about overthinking when you're alone at night and I'm happy he found someone to take care of, the titledrop was beautiful.
I think the manga will continue a bit longer with a bit more backstory/focus on Saraki which has been teased quite a bit now. There probably will be some love drama and stuff but I trust the author to handle it well, writing in this manga is exceptional especially for a weekly series.
