Good.

And I mean really good. Rock solid.

Ain't the first time she's called it a date, Seo.

. . . she is more serious about it now, though.

No, it's completely unprompted torture. Our boy did nothing to deserve this.

Amane think she slick, she ain't slick. (None of them are.)

Oh sweetheart. We know.

Ummm. . . . . yes.

"It's almost like--"

So close there, sweetheart.

Well. I guess we know where she directed all that 'growing power.'

Sato clearly really doesn't give a shit about MC, though we'll have to see if her turn changes at all--seems like he's about to head down the path of throwing away that talk about fixing his habit of apathy toward death since he just regenerated from a bullet wound. Not that he'll be exactly keen on finding out where the line is, but why bother learning to care if he can literally walk it off?

"The opposite might be true."

Author really can't help dropping casual bombshells, huh? I mean we all suspected it, but throwing it out and being coy about it after is such a Myaa move.

Also--

I DUNNO IF WE'RE SUPPOSED TO READ INTO THIS, or if so, how deep: does the comment about Takumi's grin being 'different' reflect unexplored feelings for Asahi?

BLESS YOU, TL-SAMA!

They're trying so hard to be coy like they aren't hella keen.

Ichiji has officially evolved into Goofy levels of down bad.

Curveball confessions are goated.

And obviously super effective.

Working so hard, in sync no less, to be chill. (They are the Least Chill.)

AYO, OL-SAN, EASY, HE'S A KID!

Kirishima definitely a good dude--our boy Hikoichi wouldn't be his friend otherwise.

Both wanna get closer, just. . . slightly different ideas.

Propose for real.

The only ones Kojo couldn't steamroll were Senga and Tsumiki. . . and both are coming now because of Yutaka (the former because of this chapter, the latter because he picked out her swimsuit.)

Can't believe this one's at chapter 100; I fucking love it.

Can we go back to this being about a teenager who got Peggy Sue'd and wants to fix his chances with the girl of his dreams, please?

Wooooooow sugooooooooi. . . . . . . . .

If authors are gonna write characters who are meant to lose to the title heroine, why they gotta make the chemistry with MC work so fucking well?

HE GOT IN!

Even the fact that he called everyone to one place, knowing that they all knew the release date of the exam results; it's even more proof of his growth, that he wasn't going to hide or run away from the outcome, wasn't going to let himself disconnect from believing in the possibility of good things, that good things might happen for him.

I'm sorry to see this one end, but having come full circle back to the root of Kyotaro's trauma and seeing his growth alongside Yamada and everyone, meandering beyond this point would do the story a massive disservice.

Momentarily regressing to Chuuni out of relief and exhaustion is such a mood.

Our boy pulled it off.

This one cute. Read.

I don't think he's being as truthful as he's made out to be; he would've thought about keeping Kazuki in Japan, but provided the departure came after he mended the sisters' relationship, I think he would've stopped at wishing for her to stay rather than scheming to actually stop her.
