And there we go. I’ve caught up and read the new chapter on the first day. Hurray!

Story stuff, my comments

More food stuff to learn, like a Japanese word for basically a toasted sandwich. A term from French, but I haven’t looked up if it is the same item in French too. (I know sometimes foreign words/phrases get used for different things than their original meaning.)

Also Tina is apparently good at hair styles and styles Hanabi. Such a nice thing.

With all this nice and sweet, does that mean the bullying will come back with a vengeance? :scream: I guess I will have to wait to find out. I’m starting to find the bullying pretty distressing because it feels so wrong to have so many adults seemingly indifferent to it. :sweat:

Final thoughts on the chapter

Overall I quite enjoyed this chapter in particular, I thought it was pretty fun and heartwarming. Ah, but poor Hanabi. I’ve been there. Having a crush on someone, especially someone far away, can be devastating. Ah well I suppose we’ll have to see how that all goes XD

Heh, perhaps she’ll find some confidence in her new hairstyle and use it to destroy them with the power of friendship!!

Oh wait, wrong series…
