I wonder what's the reaction of Doumeki if he found out that yashiro's right eye can't see after the incident 4yrs ago. Can't wait for that chapter!!
Also, I have a hunch that Hirata is still alive and that kiddo kid backer is him. Its my hunch only!
When i first read your comment i was like “I don’t think it’s possible for Hirata to be alive bcz there is the title of the newspaper with “yakuza corpse found”(chp 35) so he is surely dead” but then after re-reading the chapter i thought maybe that guy Yanagi helped Hirata to fake his death .. and if that what might happened that will be a good plot twist but im still like 95% sure that Hirata is dead
For me ,my hunch is , that the guy who was talking to Misumi (the one who have a ring on his hand from ch 43 ) is kido baker ..
its just what i feel i might be wrong
I think doumeki starting realize it here's.

Right after that page yashiro starled and almost fall.
And i think doumeki realize something wrong,his gaze on last panel at page 18 also so sharp.
So he was his tutor back then. What a twist of fate...
