My own opinion is Margit. She's demanding that her man refrain from activities that might attract other women (take note of his singing to make his daughter go to sleep). Rys isn't putting restrictions on how Flio should behave and in fact, is allowing multiple women to live under the same roof as herself. Admitted, she's rather up front with claiming her territory, but she does allow other females around her mate as long as they don't take any action towards him. Hell, she hasn't killed or injured Uliminas for her sparring session with Flio even though she believed Uliminas proposed the sparing session because "She means to use a sparing match as a pretext to grapple with you!"

@nutrientsnail We know he's the son of a concubine, and assumed to be the son of Shu Kojin. However, it's only ever been assumed, never outright stated, and the evidence for that is shaky at best.

@arliston The whyyyyyyyy was more rhetorical.

Still frustrating as a reader and one of the reasons why I’ve been gravitating more towards Korean manwhas over mangas lately. (Not to say that they don’t have issues of their own too sometimes).

Just letting everyone know that the premium ebook has been updated with bonus high resolution illustrations!

Regarding Shuya, it was mentioned in a previous part that he "has a special place" in Alicia's heart. This initially made me think that after patching her relationship relationship with Slowe Alicia would see him as a childhood friend while being romantically attracted to Shuya. Now it has been revealed that Alicia has feeling for Showe, so it seems that Shuya is out of the picture...unless of course she becomes closer with him after being rejected by Slowe.

@khaos - Good question. Maybe it's from the Oracle title (and is Oracle a second or sub-class?) or the Oracle Secret Arts? Or maybe her Blessing of the Goddess affects her differently than Kelvin?

Starting this now.

Little prediction that Iroha at some point going to use her fake voices to really confess to Aki (and avoid the embarrassment). She kind of already showed that off by saying "I Love You" as Sadako. Could also see her pretend to be someone else in the club (whether it's to ruin their chances with him or to get Aki going somewhere to meet them but seeing her). Iroha has said before she's not cruel, but I could see her getting frustrated and doing something like that.

Hoping the volume will make me appreciate Murasaki Shikibu / Sumire more, so far her problem more of an annoyance / chore (but, I guess that's the name of the book).

Mashiro's personality basically done a 180 at this point (more the clingy, doting type, though easily embarrassed). She's going to be so depressed if Aki goes out with someone else. I feel like Aki is kind of forgetting about her father's deal too at this point, as he's just agreeing to another fake relationship just like that. Curious to see if the waitress the dad was having a fling with shows up again too or if that was just a one off thing. <_<

Edit: Aww, Iroha doing the kabbadi kabbadi (remembering that from Chio's School Road). =P
