This mini-arc had a kind of funny PSA feeling to it. Like the volume 2 extra where Satsuki lectures Akira on medication. The resolution might be so peaceful it's unsettling, but I doubt Ryouko considers this subplot done. And it's welcome after Miho's 3rd death and Sensei's 1st death were very long, dramatic issues.
Though there's 2 trends I'm noticing: Every 15 chapters, there's a fun little arc. Akira sleeping over at Satsuki's house, then the library study session, now this. And every chapter ending in 8—at the end of a volume—there's a big bombshell. One of those mini-arcs had Akira and Satsuki's big fight right after, and the other had Komachi lose it in the bathroom.
So personally, I'm a little scared of chapter 48.
