reasons = indulged in questionable activities with his older son. when he died, he gave his entire fortune to ranzo and his wife and children. none of the inheritance will go to ikuro. in the event that ranzo dies and produces no heir, all his fortune will go to the makoto corporation. none of the inheritance will go to ikuro. started beating up ikuro when ikuro went inside the hidden chamber in the plans to kill ranzo. none of the inheritance will go to ikuro.
i dont think nohiriko fell in love with him?
I went back and reread chapter 11 and saw the adorable comic! It's so nice to see that their "actors" got along well with each other (they even had a group chat hnnng) It's also so refreshing to see them wearing regular, modern clothes. It felt kinda weird to see Ranzo act normal though HAHA
I usually just scroll down past these mini-comics and the author's note but they're actually pretty adorable (≧∀≦)
irregardless of tragic beginnings, i think miserable people can still opt for a happy ending
i would have liked to see their struggles in between the past and the present. how adam was able to survive, how yuriy found his new job, how they were able to finally confess their love for each other, how the uncle maintained abalkin til the day it shut down. i kind of hoped the uncle had something with garcia too.










i like all of these recent comments lol everyone's all "well, that escalated quickly (・ω・) "
