Sweet, sweet drama. I'm drinking it all up.
Morishima Akiko is so good at writing about feelings, especially during that time of life where a lot of us are just starting to develop some semblance of what our "self" actually is. While I want to jump in on the "Youko's kind of a moron" bandwagon, you have to keep in mind they're all teenagers, and they're all kind of stupid. Well, rather, they do and say stupid things (which to be fair, doesn't always change with age, haha), a lot of the time those things being hormone driven. I feel like Morishima really captured that in this chapter, much like how the first series did.
