Thank god??? I mean I was always going back and forth to the chapters of Kunimasa and Norio, especially when Yonekuni entered the picture wanting a chance with Norio... (Been rooting for Yonekuni ever since lol)
I always wondered why Norio is so drunkenly into Kunimasa to the point of desperation. The amount of side stories has long buried the fact that Kunimasa put a blind on him this whole time... It's actually refreshing to see Norio like this. Without it. Hah! I hope Yonekuni gets a chance. Kunimasa's just eh atp. Especially when his sole reason for pursuing Norio was for his seed.
Story aside, I didn't expect for this to update in 2025. The art style change is certainly a surprise, but damn I was in high school when I first read this. I'm in my 30s now HAHAHAHA

Looks like ML has been leashing himself down mentally knowing there's something wrong with him, but he can't help letting out his thoughts onto ML.
This is probably what he's trying to avoid. ML's changing because of his behavior. This can go either ways: they go down together or it re-balances them.
This may punch a whole stability onto ML's mentality and gives him the clarity that he has to straighten up. Cos now MC's going to go through changes that he did. It's his turn to lead him now.
Love that Iku made a cameo here (23:45). Iku meeting Mimori's ghost, and then there's Hiroki getting swept into Nao's apartment... Feels like it could have been a good collection plot of weird supernatural events about people and their apartments. I love this concept. :3
