Honestly I am not expecting some QQ-face-angsty-drama from Shou. But I do expect Drama done his way, that won't be jarring compared to the atmosphere of the rest of the series, (which I think is some of the best I've read here).
...
Slightly off-topic, IMO Slice of life (+ Drama) tends to deliver better drama than stories fully dedicated to it. Those that are drama only... I tend not to be able to care (even when I try to force myself) for characters who's very existance is drama, character that can only be described by the drama around them instead of as an actual person... Just mere constructs for the sake of drama where everything and everyone is fodder for the drama.
Here, and in other mangas that deliver drama within Slice of life tags, I feel invested on the characters due to the slice of life side and the character development it provides (i.e. it helps build a believeable character as if its a real person). makes me feel like I know these characters and care for whats going on.
