Today’s chapters were a retelling of when Mira first arrived at Rei’s house - I had only planned to read one chapter but I HAD to finish the second one too, like omg, it was so good.
They meet in like, the most perfect way, like he is just beyond sweet and charming skjdfhsdjjskvck how can you not fall in love with him instantly
Vague spoilers but also like 90% incomprehensible rambling, I'm sorry, my words cannot do justice to these chapters whatsoever so I'm just screeching incoherently because I loved it so much, like there's just so much to process here and it's still being processed
I am SCREAMING
I LOVE THEMMMMMM
I-
This manga got SO REAL for a sec 
Like holy whoa, I’m still like…REI YOU REALLY WENT THERE, JEEZ, you really just went all the way down there without any hesitation omg, there’s this one thing he said in particular, I was like…damn Idk why but it just struck me as so raw and like…true. I feel like it’s something people just don’t usually say out loud, especially to a kid. But it was like he went there with her, instead of trying to brush off her feelings and pain with empty encouragements, and that is like…so golden. Like, he went right into her darkness without any fear whatsoever. I guess he knows because he’s BEEN there. That felt like…way more of a raw, unflinching moment than I ever expected out of this manga 
But in the best way
I’m not going to try and paraphrase because I’m probably going to do it wrong 
But like
AHHHH
My words fail me but DANG
Also we see the moment where Mira starts calling him 師匠 and I just-
Sorry, thank you for coming to my TED screech fest
Here’s a pretty picture of Rei, it’s just a random chapter title page but I love it so much, look at how PRETTY
