Yeah! I'm following this, and really enjoying it.

It's like a lot of shounen: at the start, it's a bit episodic and you don't have a coherent idea that the characters will be dynamic or that the story has any epic intentions, but it has a lot of promise.

I like the characters a lot. They're definitely lovable. Chapter 1's Rikuo was just a bit too rambunctious for me to care about seriously, but the present day's Rikuo is earnest and well-meaning and thus easy to like. Kana, too. Neither of them ever annoys me or makes me feel impatient, and I admire traits they have.

Yura and Yuki Onna are also a lot of fun, likable and unique characters with a bit of complexity about them, inherent to their backgrounds and their friendships with the rest of the crowd. At first I was afraid Yura would be pretentious, but she isn't at all.

Spoiler for Chapter 15:


Many readers (me included) seem to feel that Yuki Onna is awesome.
