This is fun but I find it weird the way the romance aspect sometimes gets picked up and run with, hard, and then most of the time seems to disappear into the ether like it was never there at all. So like ch. 16 we have a passionate, even explicit (if weird) confession, and then ch. 17 we have nude bathing together with no hint of discomfort and the subject has apparently been completely forgotten on both sides. Wha?
