Haha. An even bigger cliffhanger than last time. The wait will indeed be harsh.
While I appreciate the friendship focus, the drama lately has gotten away a bit from what I felt was the best part of the series, which was the dialogue and character interaction. I really want to see Fujiwara and Yuri interacting again soon.
Also, if the friendship issue gets cleared up, I do wonder how the story will proceed to develop the romance/yuri component. No doubt, I think, Suga Atsushi will have something exciting for us in store.
