Well, I have finally been able to read all the most recent chapters.
Chapter 58: I thought the ending of Chapter 57 was bait on Youko's part, but she really started to assault Kanoko, both physically and mentally. And damn, what a beautiful and satisfying last page that one was. Because it wasn't a simple slap, but a punch with a clenched fist. I love you, Sumika.
Chapter 59: What an absolute and complete psychopath Youko is. I don't like Kanoko, but I was sad to see her like that, with such a worrysome body language.
Chapter 60: Just like with the kiss between Yano and Hime back in Volume 6, this kiss caught me off guard. I have to say that I didn't like a bit how Kanoko tried to force Sumika afterwards to take off her clothes, but I understand that her state of mind was a complete mess due to many factors. I was afraid that they were actually going to have sex, something that in my opinion would have been a bad decision on the author's part, but luckily it ended in a wholesome tone. Thank God Sumika is always so mature.
Chapter 61: I really like how an event that happened six volumes ago (the kiss Yano gave to Hime) turned out to be so important to the whole current plot (which the former isn't even part of). The way things unfolded feel completely natural and believable to me: Kanoko starting to avoid Yano (more than usual) because she was angry that Hime continued to be her friend after the confession, Hime wrongly guessing that the reason was because Yano liked women, Kanoko denying it and saying that Yano was probably just doing it because it was a trend and that her love wasn't serious, Hime telling her about the kiss to convince her, Kanoko trying to tell Sumika about it, Sumika rejecting her, Kanoko contacting Youko, etc.
