Ugh.  No one gets out of childhood unscathed.

Asako is feeling more and more secure in their relationship, and even thinking about having a family with Kotaro, but seeing that awful (like, HORRID) woman who bullied her has sent Asako into her deepest, deepest and terrifying insecurities, and this is the moment I’ve been unconsciously waiting for. What a great (and also sad!) volume!! I know my favorite couple can break through!!!

There are times like these when I wish this was an anime!! I love a sick and a festival chapter. It breaks my heart to see Asako withdraw and cause tension with Kataro. Major props for him allowing that space and them confronting when it's been too long! The hand slap had me gasping. I need Vol 10 now!
