That chapter felt pretty short, for some reason. Though, I feel like we’ve been in this situation before. 😛 Took me far too long to figure out precisely how Aika’s story led the others to the conclusion that she needed to show her hair to Al, until it ocurred to me that she probably said it off-screen. She broke Al, though. ---

Gaaaah I thought so much about commenting on this week’s chapter, I felt I did. But nope. So, yeah come on 藍華, everybody is shipping the two of you. Search your feelings, you know it to be true. ---

It did seem a little short or maybe it was just too much of Aika ruminating. Does this mean too much 禁止 is bad for Aika.? ---

Umm, guys it was short. Most chapters are over 30 pages, but this was only 22. Honestly I hope Aika never narrates again. It was such a drag. Only good part of the chapter was when Aika outright told Akari and Alice what she was thinking earlier about their shortcomings/flaws. ---

Yes, I was pleasantly surprised to have the chapter end so soon. ---

I guess I should make sure to keep up now that I’ve actually caught up… and to that end, I’ve read this(very short) chapter. Those two definitely seem to suit each other pretty well… whether they’ll notice is another thing though ---
