Spoiler for ch 14-16/MAJOR death spoiler:

Wow.

It's an incredible growth for the wounded and sociopathic hero to consider anyone at all a friend, and the easygoing, mature Hangetsu penetrated that barrier.

...only to die early. I have to admit, the author's got guts killing a key character right out like that. And story-wise, I fear Amamiya Yuuhi has just lost his best and easiest road to salvation. The Princess won't save him -- she's insane and she wants him to die with her -- and the new knight doesn't seem like he's all together himself either. Had Hangetsu lived, Yuuhi might just be able to eventually come around to the idea that joining the adult world isn't too bad after all...

I think this mad quasi-suburban fantasy circus is going to get even better.
