The cliffhanger is killing me. Did the manga artist plan on waking Claude up at exactly cp 100? Anyway, I'm somewhat enjoying the altered plot on how to wake Claude, but I gotta say I kinda miss the simplicity of how it was done in the book.
He basically stabbed a tree branch from the world tree into both their heads (I was looking forward to seeing how that would look....oh well). There's a reason Athy got the tree branch too. Anyway, Claude woke up after having the tree branch stabbed into his head. Took a while before this happened because Lucas was on his trip, but the waking up part didn't take long to solve.
Ok so, am I the only one who hope that curse isn't permanent, or that it changes so he can switch at will. Now it just kinda irks me that Shion feels dependent on Rui. I know Shion really likes him, and Rui likes him back, but there needs to be a more even playing ground. And Shion has the emotional understanding of a clam, while Rui has the communication skills of one. Smh
