At first I’m not really use to the new way of drawing the twin wolves. Unlike Hugo, who has more similar eyes to his dad and uncle, Shaia’s eyes are pretty big and always open wide (lol). But the more I read about him, I come to like this spoiled brat who tried to become a decent adult in his own way. He might act like a spoiled brat but he was starting to think a lot about people around him. The pace of his relationship with Beryl is also quite nice. I love to see them open up and fall in love with each other.

The twin grew up being loved by their parents. They saw how their parents love each other. So I don’t think Shia’s gonna be a dick in his relationship (remember how Juda and Daato started off way worse than Shia and Beryl). But it really showed that they kinda grew apart as a teenager. I don’t know about Shia’s feeling towards Theo. Did he also love Theo just like Hugo but decided to quietly step aside for them?

yeah... i wonder too. or i guess if it isn't too angsty, maybe he just felt awkward being between hugo and theo and put some distance or he didn't want hugo getting the wrong idea if he continues being close with theo.
i also have hope too that he isn't a dick TT w TT maybe just overconfident/putting up a mask, but this chapter was really nice in seeing his thought process and him being a bit more vulnerable
Talking about the dynamic of these two, it was Hikaru who falls first. I think we’re starting to see Shinobu developing his feeling for Hikaru more in volume 2 (like, Hikaru is too cute I wanna see him get spoiled with love). Hikaru also becomes aware of Shinobu’s thinking and trying to adjust himself with him. I don’t blame people who dislike Shinobu but we can just wait to see his developement in this relationship. I love Niyama-sensei’s works, so thank you very much for the upload.
