that dude's going to be the problem this arc isnt it.
He has an unhealthy and largely superficial obsession with Haru - who Nazuna resembles. Kou is a sensitive 14 year old boy exploring his first romance - with Nazuna. And Nazuna doesn't care for fuccboi's lust or Kou's jealousy.

The seeds of the next character conflict have been planted for a while now. It'll be nice to see Kou grow up some more, and I'm interested to see how Kou and Nazuna work through it.

But I'm really interested to see what Kiku decided to leave to Kyouko during a fleeting moment of empathy.

i kinda had the feeling to this that the creepy dude will be the bridge to their progress(?) though its not convincing to me that Kou just lost a friend and author san already shifted the story with that.

yeah that piqued my interest too, rare to see Kyouko shares something personal with the others, wherein common cases she wouldve just went alone.

I think Kou/Akira are going to be grappling with Mahiru's loss for a while. But life doesn't slow down, even when mourning. I think that his death and the lessons they got from it will be reflected on at different points later in the story.

And yeah, Kyouko is trying to pick up the pieces of her life and start something new. Confronting the past which controlled her for so long will be difficult. For someone trying to reconnect with others and forge new relationships, it's harder to confront that alone. It reminds her of a dark place when she's struggling to find a place in the light. She's right to be scared. But at least she's wise enough to look for help when she needs it.

im anticipating Kyouko's char development this arc than Kou and Nazuna's progress at this point, author just had to throw another creepy one for the sake of their progress sigh

wonder which kiku's underling/or at least maybe someone Kyouko knew for a long time waiting for them in that abandoned place.

Not sure how long this bit with the detective will last. My guess is that it won't be long enough to constitute an arc - more like an intermission - but maybe Kotoyama has other schemes.

My guess is that Kiku used that lair when was seeing Kyouko's father, and it has some relevant information to her. Or it has diaries or something explaining just what the hell Kiku was thinking. Or it has both. Whatever the case, it'll have answers to the questions that Kyouko asked and maybe lay some of her anxieties to rest.

But maybe it will also have some notes on human-vampire romance that Kiku compiled, which will be relevant to our protagonists. Or maybe it'll have another vampire snooping around, seeing if Kiku left any goodies, and they'll end up fighting. Who knows.

Jerk alert incoming ugh,he will cause problems in the future.
Nazuna said NO.

I guess we aren't free of Kiku's curse just yet,she keeps haunting the story. :rolleyes:

The chapter was okayish, a bit boring about sushi lol. But at least Kou's mom is still around.

My guess is that Nazuna will need to show the guy she likes Kou, so he forces her to be more proactive in making Kou fall for her in a way.
