I love seeing the changes from the first volume to this volume (7)! Naoto was soooo isolated and scared of the world at first, he only had his mother and Shizuku was barely five years old! Not only that but he had dropped out of school after the assault happened, so he was carrying the trauma of alphas (and friends) taking advantage of him. But now, Naoto has more friends and acquaintances that he can rely on, aside from his family. He's not alone anymore and he can rely on others and be relied on too! I love his smile as well, as it's so telling of the healing he's gone through.
Hazuki was somewhat a loner but he was carrying a lot of guilt over being an alpha, but him slowly maturing and learning has been great. He's had his ups and downs, but he's been working hard. He not only loves Naoto, but he loves Shizuku as a daughter as well. Shizuku has been trying to protect her mama for so long, she basically didn't trust others (she was even hostile to Hazuki!). But she's been able to be a kid, to make friends and find her own path since Hazuki has become her papa. Naoto is certainly still her favorite and her number 1 support, but Hazuki has taken up her mission to protect her mama as well, so she can also focus on growing up. Their relationship is super cute, especially with Shizuku calling Hazuki by a nickname, but seeing him as her one and only papa. (It makes me so angry knowing that at some point she may have to be told that her conception was such a shitty situation. I hope she never sees the scumbag of a sperm giver again.)
I hope to see more of the kids growing up too (づ￣ ³￣)づ.
