several thoughts:
I'm so glad we finally got a chapter from Sumie's view. I wonder if we're sticking with her view, after the turning point of the breakup.
It would make sense, we were in Manatsu's viewpoint when she wasn't in control of the relationship. Now that she is going to be the driver, I reckon we'll see it from Sumie's perspective.
I still think Sumie's tutor probably used the same reward method for tutoring that Sumie herself used on Manatsu. It was very effective.
I wonder what Manatsu will think about Sumie's past, and if she finds out, I wonder if she'll have enough grace or awareness to know that despite Sumie's protests to the contrary, she was a child that was taken advantage of.
the fact that this didn't wrap up as neatly in three chapters as I thought it would three months ago, probably means we're getting another volume. and I wonder how much of it will be from Sumie's perspective.
