Honestly, when it's done well, it makes the. . . coy isn't quite the right word, but the way teenage characters behave around their crushes make a lot of sense. Even while berating themselves internally, they feel emotions so intensely and without practice regulating that intensity that they can't help saying or acting in ways contrary to how they want to present themselves.

YES A NEW CHAPTER! PRAISE BE!

FUCK this was a lot in one chapter.

So either Code's been underselling his skills even more severely than we thought, or the Emperor is waaaay off base. Considering how often the full story only comes through once we get Code's perspective, I'm split on which one.

Nice that he stopped dying his hair to hide his age since that's how-at least, he figures that's how-the emperor found him. I wonder how close Code's getting to his fake "deadline." I'd normally say there's no way that he manages to ditch Aris and Serena by faking his death, but. . . it's Code, so I have no idea.

Why are we getting more pages of the meddlers peeping than the ship being cute?

This is why meddlers annoy me. Well. One of the reasons.

God, this manga portrays the story and feel of creatives so fucking well.

Most often, when the next chapter stares back at us, we are the ones who blink.

But sometimes, just sometimes, we are receive grace.

Precious.

It is. He's got another brutal run of over 300 'todays' coming up.

The next few chapters are gonna be awesome.

SHAME HIM. SHUN HIM. MAKE HIM BEG FOR MERCY AND GIVE HIM NO QUARTER!

Woof.

Stress bringing trauma to the fore.

That vanguard lady got a big mouth.

And the seamster must have a stealth skill to go undetected for as long as he was by Atobe's team.

That's hella cute.

I honestly forgot what their first names were.

True, but also don't forget, Niihama is gonna meet Shijouin's father soon.

And her family also has a lotta money. This asshole gonna get whupped twice.

Might just go to a real high school and fight some pipsqueak fuckers.
