So, um, I certainly wasn't expecting that from Crow-girl. To get manipulated that easily is so pathetic even Yamauchi could see through it. Probably. Hopefully.
I've come to realise that Akasaka isn't that gifted when it comes to writing psychological stuff. It's a shame.
Wonder if COTE Y2V10 will quench my thirst. Probably not.
It would probably be another half-arsed volume with a pathetic climax for Kiyo x Nagumo, a bit more build-up towards Ichinose, cracks forming in Kei's love which she will remain blissfully unaware of albeit intentionally.
I think there will be a lot of development between Horikita and Kiyotaka in Y2V10 and Y2V11. Her possibly falling for him before he switches class in Y2V11. And the .5 after that will cover her feelings and the future of her class without Kiyo.
It's not something I'm looking forward to but I'm pretty sure that's how it will go.
Kiyo might date Ichinose for a bit if she isn't expelled before ending up with Horikita at the end of the series.
