(Totally not changing topics just to keep the previous one from blowing up)
I'm so proud of Bocchi. Her "oh shit, I have no friends to form a group with" is now an "oh shit, I have too many friends to choose from".
Also, good job progressing on Kako's route. Once her "dark past" (tm) arc is over you'll unlock one steamy se- wait a minute, what do you mean this isn't an eroge?
Seriously though, Kako's dialogues get more romantic with every new flag raised. Announcing she'll be telling something really important to Bocchi after she's done giving closure to her feelings for her childhood friend sounds like she's hyping up for a love confession.
In fact, rereading previous chapters I noticed Kako first revealed her dark past (tm) in ch51, with Bocchi hugging her tightly from behind while also stating she wants to get closer with her and getting to know each other better.
The best part?
It was Kako's idea to have Bocchi and herself in such an intimate position. If I didn't know better, I'd say the helping hands activity was just an excuse and she really only wanted to snuggle.
Now, we wait for the trip chapter...
