Ok... maybe Ren is growing on me a little. I still really dislike how he interacts with Kyoko, but I'm hopeful we'll get more of an explanation for his behavior. I love how Moko and Kyoko ended up getting closer to each other, and as someone who comes from a rather large family, I'm not entirely thrilled to see the absolute struggle of having a million siblings who need something with unsupportive parents being made the butt of the joke, it does explain a lot about Moko's behavior. I'm also unsure about the pushing of an age gap relationship between an 11 and 16/17-year-old, even if nothing comes from it at the moment.
