Thank you so much for the comment and the kind words! What a volume!
Kurosawa will not only make all the fashion choices…he’ll WEAR ALL THE FASHION! This man! And he part where he’s trying to put away the party decorations is HILARIOUS.
Kurosawa is THAT MAN. Yeah, him reading minds is too much power!
I love seeing all these little domestic moments with them all!
I really love Tsuge’s honesty and I love Kurosawa viewing the mind reading in a positive light as well! It was really neat to see in this! But yes, Udon is the ultimate MVP – those panels of him?! INSANELY ADORABLE! I can’t, my heart!
The next volume will be here before we know it – next week! Bwahahaha – we have a week between Orb and TBHX, so it fit perfectly for next Tuesday afternoon! I can’t waaaaitttt! Thank you for the comment!

Loved the reaction and discussion! This was such a fun volume. 🥰
Various things I loved:
It is not enough for Kurosawa to have matching sweaters with matching style monograms, oh no, no sirree! He has to ALSO be actually wearing Adachi’s sweater. Calm down, Kurosawa! 😂
The little moment of Kurosawa running around trying to put the balloons away because Tsuge wasn’t in the mood to party.
How Adachi lying was “inconceivable.” 'How did you deal with your spouse reading your mind? I do not mind because they are perfection personified! 🥰'
Agree, Kurosawa being the one reading minds would have been too much power.
“Fujisaki winning in both timelines!” 🤣
All the 'day in the life' and morning routine panels for everyone! Really adorable.
Definitely agree that Tsuge being honest in the interview (about the inspiration being a man) and this not being used by the narrative as another cudgel was very refreshing.
And another fresh take, I think, was the point of view Kurosawa had about Adachi falling in love with the “real Kurosawa” specifically because he could read Kurosawa’s mind. I think most often mind-reading or similar narratives sort of stop at the idea of someone being shocked, and then accepting it or not. I’m not sure I can think of many (any?) examples where, after the shock, the character goes beyond ‘not minding’ into thinking it a positive. And the mangaka makes it really work for Kurosawa, I feel, because we know from what we’ve seen from his actual internal world, and how insecure he is, that this actually worked as profound reassurance. 🥺
Ultimately though: Udon is the true MVP of this volume! 😂
Looking forward to the next volume! 🍒
