| Kinoshita's opinion about Kasuga is the one I'm looking forward to hearing the most. I can't wait until they (hopefully) have a good conversation next chapter! |
| another month waiting.... QQ |

| It was bound to happen that he would be put on spot for what he did and now that the first person to meet him from his old school has shown up the real hell might begin for him. |
 |
| So now he apologizes but wow, that was a bit late...ouch. RIP. Oh and look who showed up at the end there~ |
 |
| That was sad and everybody is blaming Kasuga for his death. Kinoshita makes an appearance. Can't wait for the next chapter. |
 |
| Blaming grandpa's death on Takao? That's kind of lame...unless they think it's because he carries some bad omen or something. Hm and he meets Kinoshita of all people? Definitely looking forward to what she has to say. |
ravagestorm said: The story is supposed to be slow. It's about Kasuga's recovery from the hectic hell he used to live in. Shit like this ain't supposed to be fast paced.The story is too damn slow. Grandpa's death is just a plot device so that Kasuga will go back to the town but the author wasted a lot of pages on it. It would have been better if this chapter ended after Kasuga and Kinoshita had a conversation. |
 |
| Hopefully his grandpa dying won't phase him more then it would anyone else. I don't want him reverting back to the way he was just because he was told/feels like it was his fault. |

| I suspected Kinoshita would be the first person he meet there for some reason. Next chapter should be interesting. |
| Interesting to see Kinoshita at the end, I wonder what she has to say to him. Also wonder if she has come to terms of what all happened, or if she still holding a resentment towards Takao and is gonna vent. Ughhh! It sucks now that we have to wait another month or two :( |
  |
| Them blaming him for the death of his grandfather who was obviously an old man was just a reason for them to be mean and lay guilt trips on him. |
 |
| annoying people.. annoying people everywhere.. what a lame excuse blaming takao for the death of the old man.. he's old what else do you expect? live another 100 years? |

 |
| Pretty interesting chapter. It set up the suspense for next chapter for me. Wonder what will happen with Kinoshita. Now for the long wait. |
| who's Kinoshita again? She was Saeki's friend right? Why is she there? |

Debaser said: who's Kinoshita again? She was Saeki's friend right? Why is she there? Yeah she's Saeki's friend. A relative of her probably knew Takao grandfather, it's a small town so it should be pretty common. |
| I think it was stupid how they blamed him for the Grandpa's death. Kasuga should have just walked away after they said that to him. I mean they think shame killed the old man, get real. As soon as I saw his families faces I knew I wasn't going to like them, especially the cousin. I mean didn't they ever ask why he did what he did? Instead of feeling shame because of him they should have been trying to help him. |
 |
| Kinda lost on why Kasuga is blamed for his grandpa's death... That was pretty confusing. Other than that, not a very eventful chapter.. Let's hope next month's chapter tops this one! |

| Gramps has been dwelling on that for 3 years? Though it was a pretty great chapter Things couldnt be peaceful for more than one chapter, the flowers coming back, I half expected to see it sticking out of the town in that panoramic shot. |

Family pride is a big deal in Japan, but I think it's retarded too. |
ravagestorm said: What does sitting in the car looking at random things got to do with recovery huh? A weekly manga doing this is fine but this is a fucking monthly manga. Because such small things as looking through the window create the required atmosphere. Plot may be the most prevalent part of a story, but it is far from the only one.

I mean didn't they ever ask why he did what he did? Instead of feeling shame because of him they should have been trying to help him. Japanese society has its good and bad sides. This stuff, with you being blamed for small things and polite aggressiveness, is one of the bad sides. You can get blamed everywhere, but they have a special skill of making a very, very unpleasant atmosphere. For example, when a Japanese survived on Titanic, the Japanese society blamed him for taking someone else's place and many openly thought he should repent by killing himself. Or when you faraway relative does something bad, your entire family will be blamed and punished by the society. You can even say goodbye to possibility of being a promoted on a job simply because some relative did something bad. |

| Poor Takao. I don't think he'll revert back to his own ways because of the guilt..he's already grown so much as a person. |
| Ughh, I would be okay with the pace if this was weekly but this is monthly goddamit. Speed stuff up please, barely anything happens from chapter to chapter and I just know it will be at least another 3-4 slow chapters before we see Nakamura. |
 |
| Surprisingly mature reaction from Takao there. I am quite intrigued at Ai's sudden appearance at the funeral. I'd love to know what she thinks and what she has to say. Being Nanako's friend, she also could have something to say about her. I actually liked seeing Ai again. |
| Who? Oh... The friend of Nanako, I wonder what she has to say? I suppose the death could be caused by him being depressed on hat his grandaon has did? Still, blaming it on him is harah. |

| Kasuga's grandpa died and the whole family pretty blames Kasuga for their grandpa's death. Such a gloomy chapter but it was still good. I actually forgot who Kinoshita was so I had to look her up. She was Saeki's friend eh? Their conversation should be interesting. 4/5 |
 |
| Not what I expected, but a nice chapter. |
I have my own anime blog. It's called Anime Viking. Hope you'll you read it! |
lindsayzzz said: I actually forgot who Kinoshita was so I had to look her up. She was Saeki's friend eh? Their conversation should be interesting. ^ This. I did the same :P Totally forgot who she was. When it came up I was like, "Who the hell is Kinoshita??". Then yeah, I looked it up and read it was that chick. Saeki's friend who kept yelling at Kasuga when they were dating. Ahhhh.. Anyway... Interesting chapter. And yes, next chapter should be even more interesting. Hoping that we'll find out what happened to the town and the school and Nakamura after Kasuga left. |
| Once again, calm before the shitstorm. Looking forward to their talk. |
 "Your sight, my delight. Will you marry me?" |
| So how did he kill his grandpa? |
 |
| Its funny how mature this manga has become over the past few chapters. |
 |
| Another good chapter. Don't have much to say though |
 |
| man its so harsh to blame the death on him though |
"Urushibara Ruka. The mannerisms and voice of a woman... No... More feminine than any woman. But he's a guy. Taller than Mayuri, but so very thin... But he's a guy. Looks great in a miko outfit... But he's a guy. It's already twilight And yet, it's so hot. The cicadas are crying. But... He's a guy." |
| Gramps died at the worst time possible. I liked how well drawn were the intimidating faces of Kasuga's relatives towards him |
 |
| i wish these relatives would piss off |
| lol feels weird to have Nanako's friend back. Like, she was always the only normal and sane character. She almost feels out of place in this manga hahaha |
 |
| Kinoshita ! ^.^ Darn relatives blaming Kasuga for his death ... |
 |
| I mean they're not really wrong though.... at the first half, Kasuga only thinks about himself and even betray his parents trust. Even making his mom cried over and over again. Making a mom cry is the worst thing a human could do and I can see why everyone is blaming him. |
 |
| Well that was dumb to be putting the blame on Kasuga for his grandfather's death. Dude was old. I wasn't expecting to see Kinoshita tho! That was a surprise. I can't wait to see what she has to say. |
