That's a much better secret than her secret being that she's always tired and absent because she has a terrible disease (which is what I was bracing myself for).
It felt like some things weren't clear:
1. Did Sadao actually believe Tomo-thingy's story about crying & the rain or did he think it was just a joke? There's not really a reaction shown, and then they go to school as if everything's normal - so did he not take it seriously?
2. If he did believe him, why is he not mad or distrustful? He's made it seem as if he's only interested in bringing the rain and being special because he's the one responsible for making Sadao cry. Even if he really has fallen for Sadao along the way, as someone who's already a cynical loner, wouldn't Sadao at least question his motivation/feelings, if not get completely mad or disenchanted?
I can accept that many things are left until to the coming chapters, but it can't plausibly skip to the next day and not show any reaction and feelings.
Ahhh. I know it MAY actually just literally be a scratch, but for a head wound, for children in one's care...don't immediately send him back into the game! It's just a basic duty of care, surely, when it can't be certain how hard a knock he received?
(It also bothers me when students in manga literally get knocked unconscious at school (usually during PE, sport activities, a stray ball, or falling down stairs) and the school medical whoever merely waits for them to wake up, says they seem OK, and merely sends them home on their own. PHONE A PARENT/GUARDIAN AND RECOMMEND FURTHER MEDICAL CARE, or at least observation, for goodness sake.)

(Yes, I get bothered too much by the wellbeing of fictional characters...)
...A rule for short-chaptered Toritan, to wait for at least two new chapters each time before reading updates.
This is my punishment for impulsively breaking my own rule.
I imagine that even if you read two chapters together you would still stop in a cliffhanger.
Oh, so you're suggesting a new rule: Wait at least until the final chapter before reading!
*grin*
If you manage to do so please inform me, i will need to send you my admiration....

Sure!
...But, based on past evidence, don't hold your breath...

Finally got around to finishing this...shouldn't have bothered. Should've just stopped after the first couple.
Normally, even if parts of a story annoy me, I'll still basically want to see a happy ending for the couple (or, at least, for the MC/whoever's POV it's told from). With the yakuza story...frankly, I didn't like either of the MCs. Is it that hard to actually discuss things rather than deciding alone and stubbornly doing things behind each others' backs? Meh.
Yep, obstination is the word of the day, it can overcome eveyything! We all know the quote about genius being 1% inspiration, 99% obstination, right??
(In case you needed it spelled out, the word is "obstinacy".
And the saying really uses the word "perspiration", of course.)
I keep getting the blondie dudes confused (actually, they're probably supposed to be brunettes, aren't they). Their hair is not quite different enough and it's been too long since I read the start of the series, so I keep not being sure which one is a friend, which one is the soccer guy, which one is starting to like her etc. etc. Urgh.
(Although I think this recent scene with most of them together helped temporarily.)
I often dislike spin-offs about the love rival, because they often feel like uninspired stories written for the sake of it, and often the love rival has behaved pretty abominably in the first/main story and I don't see why I suddenly have to forget how despicable they were and try to like them.
I'm appreciating this one because it's finally exploring properly the consequences of his own wretched past behaviour and not excusing it nor having the people around him excuse it at all (not merely trying to make us sympathetic to their actions).
I can therefore get behind this one a whole lot more, because it feels like there's a proper story to tell, yes, of a new relationship, but also of him facing the consequences of his actions, developing/growing as a person and moving forward.
