one thing I loved is that their character development wasn't necessarily tied to their relationship. like as they got closer they had other stuff happening in their lives that led them to grow as individuals and THEN their relationship deepened as well, different from some mangas where mcs change because of their relationship (nothing wrong with that, but I find this situation a bit more realistic)

Now, to lighten the horrible mood this chapter put me in, since I binge read this in 4 days, I'll compliment the some side characters I like :
*Togame Jo is sex on legs. (Long hair, short hair, idc)
*Hiragi is MVP (dude's literally EVERYWHERE, doing EVERYTHING)
*Tsubaki is a fashion icon (and so fucking cool like wtf it's unfair)
*Suzuri's happy face is brighter that my future (he's such a cutie pie)
Pls feel free to add compliments to other characters so I can forget that Sakura might be about to "sasuke" rn

To the ppl saying Mei is infertile: He isn't, or at least it wasn't confirmed. When he was hospitalized the doctors told Masatsugu that infertility could be one of the consequences of misusing the suppressants but they never said he was at that stage (imo I think it's implied that it could have happened if he kept taking too many meds, not that he's already infertile)
also, Kirito should be next in line to get a story pls, I love him
