So I've seen the raw for v8 (emphasize on 'seen', not 'read'
). Sena's confession is not the cliffhanger for this volume like I was thinking. It was when Kodaka asks Rika to be his friend, and then asks her to help him.
And Yusa, along with the seito kaicho whom I forget the name (
), have more screen-time here. The illustration where Kodaka's helping Yusa is adorable :3
