no....... the newest Japanese ch (#43) is where SPOILER: haru starts trying to not be suffocating and has to acknowledge-slash-work on his jealousy issues. Ren also has such an idealistic view of 'parental figures' that he's trying to change since he's met Maria's awful self hahaha END SPOILER so there's quite a lot more to go, both character-development-wise and relationship-development-wise.
but yeah you assumed wrong and i just didn't want people getting the wrong idea lol i was clarifying only, hope i didn't sound aggressive

Is it just me or does it feel like a plot device to fill more books up
