Shinje’s breakdown in the latest chapter might’ve been the result of years worth pent-up grief kept hidden due to his environment; It must’ve been like a moment of allowance to just let it go at that moment — The sole purpose of his being just being cracked open. It’s amazing.
It’s nice seeing him be a little bit more human in these recent chapters, hope it doesn’t go to waste here on out, but hope can only do so much in a series like this lol






I hope one day that I can collect and treasure this manga in physical form. It’s been a good trip having to follow this manga and the stories of Takayanagi-sensei’s students and life… certainly has made me rethink my own life. Maybe someday I’ll have a sit down with someone like him.
