This chapter was a bit confusing to read for me. I thought the bathing scene was an illusion at first and the two were being kept asleep until mana could be gathered, but nope! Just some flashbacks that I didn't catch onto.
I finished watching season 2 last week, so going back and reading these feels extra nice. Nadeshiko's expression at the top of page 13 still makes me grin.
I have to admit that the constant unrelatable angst in the middle pretty much killed my enthusiasm for this one, and it ended about how I expected. Oh well.
Anyone else desperately want at least a miniseries with these characters? There's so much cute potential! I want to see them go on a heartwarming cringey double date!
