not really about this chapter, more remarking on the series thus far... feels like it's dropped and gotten a bit boring now that the kids are born. Dude is a jerk and Warrioress is 90% bitch... I guess they deserve each other in that respect, though I can't say I'm particularly fond of people being assholes. yet still I've read this far and will likely continue to do so lol

i genuinely feel like we read different series, i thought the pacing of this series has been phenomenal, none of the arcs really dragged out and the characters all retained their main qualities while transitioning into parenthood, and the warrioress and mc always had this hilariously loving and borderline abusive relationship. I love it.

ugh... crying so much at the end there... I haven't seen the anime and only picked this up as I'd just completed Love Is War and it was by the same author. I 100% don't think I could watch the anime now knowing what's in store. I don't have the mental fortitude to handle it. My heart breaks for Kana, and Akane, and Ruby. Also, their "mom". Replaying Kana's reaction at Aqua's funeral has me tearing up again. ugh...
I will say that earlier on in the series it was so lovely to see Kaguya name-dropped as Ruby's photographer-- and with Miyuki's family name no less. Unknown who proposed to whom but glad to see that it didn't take until Miyuki was in his 50s like he'd planned.
damn.. pretty consistently CLOUD has had the MOST junk in the trunk of anyone in this series. I love that that's a thing. I also love to see that his relationship w/ gf has advanced and think it's hilarious that he's got hickeys on his neck. I'm half tempted to backtrack a few chaps to see if they peeked out from behind his high collar earlier than just after the shot of the two of them in bed.
