Chapter 30
Not my favorite chapter.
My favorite chapters are when there’s a lot of Nana + Hachi interaction, or a lot of Hachi, so this definitely wasn’t one of them 
I do like Yasu a lot though, so at least there was that. Pretty stand-up guy as usual. His ex comes crying to him, and he doesn’t take advantage of her.
Looked up 仮面ライダー, it’s a show that ran from 1971 to 1973, too old for me, didn’t have the reference :o
I also liked Nana and Nobuo’s talk. Nana feels like she wanted to help him and ended up using him one more time instead, but I do think it helped him too, when she told him how much it had meant a difference for her that he has always been there for her.
Excited for BLAST’s デビュー, sounds like it’s going to be anytime now! (and possibly with some drama, if the paparazzi keep at it)
Also maybe it’s time I ask, somehow I’m not clear on everybody’s background.
Nana met Ren at 15, he was 17 and playing with Nobu and Yasu. I think they had two years together as a couple before he left to join Trapnest, by then she was 18. Then at 20 she went to Tokyo too.
Yasu was in a relationship for 2 years with Reira/Layla while the two of them and Takumi were (highschool? college?) students at the same place. I think I remember reading at some point that Takumi was 26 now? Yasu same age, Reira 1 year younger?
My two big question marks are, are all of those from the same town (Nana, Ren, Yasu, Takumi and Reira)? And how old were Yasu / Reira / Takumi when the Yasu - Reira relationship happened?
Could work if it was before Nana met Ren. Then Yasu was the one left behind by Takumi and Reira because he wanted to stay to become a lawyer. Then Takumi came back to steal Ren.
