Any Crumb Is Good - Blog Posts

I wouldn’t shut up if the picture perfect conflict was addressed, my insanity would be noticeable, but I have no hope for chap 103. You can clearly see where the narrative focus is: It's all about hananene, mitsukou, and Hanako/Amane backstory.

So if Aidairo does make them talk, I feel like it would just be used as a device to further set up mitsukou and hananene, instead of their own moment.

This hypothetical talk does have the potential for a really good conversation though! Kou knows Nene and Hanako like each other, and his view is pessimistic in an intimate way since he is close to them both. It would also open a door for us to get more details on how Hanako views Mitsuba, since it isn't clear at the moment (he seems to feel mostly neutral/negative about him? Hanako has only been shown to care about how Mitsuba's suffering affect Kou, never Mitsuba'S own struggles and it makes me curious)

The only time I can possibly imagine them bringing focus to hanakou conflict is near the end of the manga, when we get close to the moment Kou will exorcise Hanako, which have been consistently built up to.

It would be a very strange choice if Aidairo doesn’t give us a hanako and kou centered arc when we get close to this point, even if just a small 1 to 2 chapters arc, since this has been set up since even before Mitsuba intro, or hell, Tsukasa’s intro in the manga and have the potential to be a very impactful/symbolic moment for both characters. 

My actual hope for chapter 103 is predictable as hell though, I want them to show how Akane and Natsuhiko's talk went, please I want to see them.

but I will be genuinely happy to get any Akane, Aoi, or Teru panel.
