It's a fun thread Also we continue the Very Creepy subplot in which our heroes stalk a teenager and nobody in universe finds this odd. This will bother no one but me, forever Tachibana lurking outside the window was definitely a moment of hilarity tho

Mutsuki strikes me as a really good depiction of a teenager, honestly; he knows he wants things but not why or what to do with them. I like it.

It’s a series of possible fake-outs and red herrings (maybe she’s an Undead!), but it’s fun to see a story that puts Kotaro in a little bit more of the focus. Also, it gives Hirose and Kenzaki a chance to do some supporting-role comedy stuff, which kills. The part where Kotaro calls them freeloaders, and they’re a little offended, but then they’re both like Oh Shit We Totally Are, loved it. Great timing, funny joke.

Hahahahaaaa, so much fun, this bit. Tachibana and his GPS finding the Undead after Something Mysterious has happened to Team Blade's equipment also made me laugh.

Hajime actively offering information to Kenzaki felt like a positive thing for Hajime, incidentally, even if he had to frame it as not wanting Kenzaki to interfere in Chalice chasing the specific Undead he has decided he is going to re-seal. Also potentially a positive thing for Kenzaki's social circle, haha.
