I'm still enjoying the series and I'm happy that Riku has gotten a lot of development lately. But he really needs to talk to Rena again, he's leaving her out a lot now and they basically swore to be partners together.

I read few comments in this thread, regarding Riku behavior, so I'm bit turn off.

The theme for this series seem to be atonement.
Riku's lies got Neene and that other girl killed, and now he's trying to atone and stop lying. Rena's actions led to the death of her parent's who became kamogari, and she's trying to atone. Shirou's actions...well caused everything, and his final attempt at atonement was preventing those two from drowning in their own guilt. Takao is trying to atone for his mother and coffin princess death. Riku is improving, by leaps and bounds, but it's a slow process nonetheless. He's still suffering from seeing first hand the results of his actions, but at least now he won't cross certain lines to chase after Amane. Rena is becoming more emotionally open with Riku. And you can't compare this series to pokemon, digimon, or any other shounen, since it's a seinen.

I had to scratch my head at zombies. But the whole functioning well enough masked as humans was a nice twist and making it the result of Kanshuu "biology" patched up any potential holes. Seeing a group taking an active role in terms of dealing with the rebound was also nice. A slew of other dimensions to the infected crisis opened up as a result (rebound, volunteers, indifferent jinki holders, etc.). tl;dr Series is getting pretty damn awesome even when prior events were pretty damn awesome too.
