I've gotten notifications for false updates before, but this one hurts the most cuz I've already seen the raws for the next volume... Guess I'll reread XD
The first three chapters of volume two are on this site, that's what I read. They're listed right under the translated chapters
Yes I thought real update coz raw already available
Wonderful character development all around, both with Kou and Shinobu.
I know everyone is still pissed off at Kou, but he had a maaaajor personality change. It seemed to me like he had lived his whole life playing with people like that and no one had thought much of it, so he probably didn't think what he was doing was such a godawful thing cuz people still treated him like a celebrity. When he finally realized it because of Shinobu giving him a taste of his own cold-shoulder medicine, he was literally hospitalized because he felt so badly about his actions. I don't really bear him any grudge at all, he learned his lesson. People deserve second chances.
I did really love Shinobu's attitude about the whole thing. You don't often see the uke stand up for himself to that extent against a bully seme. It took Kou a while to get Shinobu's trust back, which I thought was a nice change
