That's what made me drawn to this manga. Sure, the main couple is adorable, as well as the upcoming side couple (Subaru x Natsusawa) but seeing other characters like this really made it feel like they have their own lives. They don't exist to solely support and aid the plot progression for the main characters' romance. They also have their own thing going on for themselves.
Lowkey hoping Rurin won't be stopped. An upgrade to her young looking self would be nice, so that she doesn't look like a kid next to Ell anymore. Though, I don't like that it's out of her misunderstood desperation.
I'd prefer that she looks young because she was emotionally stunted or something, and by realizing that she's come this far and has grown, she transforms older.
Oh well.
The reason why they y'all feel like an arc is dragging is because it's ongoing!! Having to wait a whole week or more for one chapter to drop makes it longer—more so when the chapter lengths are getting shorter. If you sit your ass down and let it marinate to completion, the pacing is actually just fine.
So it's either you wait for years before reading this, or be patient.









NOOOO I NEED MORE LILY AND DELVER PLEASE
