Okay, apparently Anon did the scans all the way up to the chap 57, which means it's more or less up-to-date.

Spoiler for up to chap 57:

Well, I'm surprised at all the events that went on. It still shows strong characterization that the previous chapters had. Still, it feels like they keep giving Chiba the short end of the stick

. She's my favorite char in this series(I really like everyone in the main cast, but her I like a bit more), so it's hard to see her depressed.

Chiba and Mako playing the lead roles in Romeo and Juliet did nice to make them a bit closer. I thought they'd make to hook them up, but they didn't. It still could happen, though they ARE kinda good together, they really don't act any differently with each other than they do with everyone else. I'm not taking that last statement for granted though, after that Shuu/Anna thing.

Maybe I forgot something, but I'm COMPLETELY baffled at how Shuu ended up going out with Anna

. Don't get me wrong, I like Anna as a character, but there hasn't been nearly enough of her in the story to justify how she helped him. Plus, I'm a fan of the Shuu/Chiba pairing, so I'm always looking for that. Well, it's been six months since I read it, so I guess I gotta go back and re-read the part where he confesses and gets turned down by Yoshino.

I thought Yoshino would take Shuu having a gf a bit harder. It seems like she had an "Oh, okay" attitude, like it didn't bother her. Maybe it didn't. Or maybe it hit harder than the surface showed. She did end up telling Chiba that so hastily, but I can't tell whether that was some kind of subtle angst going on or that she just wanted to piss Chiba off. Since that's not really in Yoshino's character, it's really hard to decipher it. If it was the latter, then I guess that was one of those 'innocent cruelty' moments that children do, much like when Sarashina was asking Shuu did he like crossdressing or not.

I knew Chiba wouldn't take Shuu going out with Anna easily, but nearly quitting school because of it? I'm glad it was only for a few days. It's still hard to see how her and Yoshino became decent friends so fast, even though they both hated each other. I wonder if it's because she found out that Yoshino wants to be a boy? Maybe she just has a fetish for people who crossdress, but I'd like to think that there is a bit more to her char than simply liking someone because they crossdress.
