Damn, when I saw Saorin come to the door at the beg of the chapter, I thought that would be her chance to get closer to Shuu or something, esp since she was once part of the "Stay home!" club. It was nice for everyone else to want to come and see how Shuu was doing, but where was Yoshino? Is that all she can do, send a letter? I was kinda disappointed in her.
I'm feeling sorry for Maho now. Before, i thought it was amusing that she was angry because the girl Shuu looked better than her. Shedding some light on her feelings a bit, I can understand why she doesn't like Shuu[in a sense]. Maybe she just feels lonely and is jealous that Shuu has so many people around him despite his hobbies that she takes it out on him. Poor Maho
.
I'm not surprised that Shuu's getting bullied. Actually, as cliche' as it is, I expected it so long ago, now it's more like 'It's about time!' more than anything. I don't know why, but Sarashina has been having this air of maturity about her IMO since she and Shuu talked together. I feel like she's doing exactly what Yoshino SHOULD be doing; supporting his decision and being by his side for those first steps to school. Then again, Yoshino supporting him would make it cliche, thereby inferring that she would 'love' Shuu because she's protecting him, therefore, in actuality, it's better this way.
I wonder how Yoshino's gonna take getting confessed to? Well, that kid is pretty ugly, so she should just brush him off. I HIGHLY doubt it, but it'll be upsetting if she ended up going out with him just to get away from some unnoticeable lingering feelings she might have for Shuu.
