So as I suspected, Touko still hasn't broken out of the "love is a chain" mentality, if her thoughts at the end of the chapter are anything to go by. She's got enough consciousness to recognize she may have been hurting Yuu this whole time, and she isn't faulting Yuu or getting hostile over it, but she's still scared to face her now, since in her mind Yuu is now another person who Expects Things Of Her. Not to mention Yuu running away, which as others have said, also puts a damper on proceedings.
I like that we're finally getting to see Yuu be a bit more... fragile, for lack of a better word. Her detachment makes her feel really mature for her age, but here we're finally getting to see some more blatant reminders that she's still a high school girl trying to figure out her feelings. I would LOVE if the story took a page out of Girl Friends' book and changed the perspective to Toukou now as she deals with her end of the play's aftermath and now this whole thing. More Yuu would be great, too, though. ^_^
First time I want a manga to drag on, just because I SO WANT TO SEE THESE TWO ACTUALLY DATING I MEAN DO YOU IMAGINE?!
Indeed! This is one of my favorites; I hope we get to see some of the actual dating, once they reach that point.
