#chapter 82

Okay, I have two things to say about this Bocchi chapter cover:

It's a shame they didn't draw her dick outline.

Back to Skip & Loafer, and while this chapter doesn't give a whole lot to talk about I do like where it seems to be headed. We really have two stories. Mitsu bookends a middle about Shima. So let's start with our dorky girlie. Pretty simple, Mitsumi will go home over Spring Break because she'll be too busy studying after that. Unfortunately it does not seem like she will be going with Nao-chan, which is a crime that can only be paid for by showing her and Goro having fun together.

But I do like getting to check back in on Ishikawa. It makes a lot of sense to do that before you launch into a final year of school that has a lot of promise. Probably won't be the last time we see them though, especially if Nao's not going because we do have that setup about bringing her boyfriend to meet her mother. Assuming we end the series at graduation like so many do, that'd probably put us past the century mark. I just don't see wrapping everything up in about fifteen chapters after Mitsu gets back.

And the middle? Hey I've been proven wrong on this sort of thing recently but I dunno...the bits with Sousuke and his old acting pals always feel a little more oddly out of place. We see them having a party for Ririka to congratulate her on getting work again. It's cute, she ponders the possibility of them having a relationship before blowing it off. There's a cool aspect about her using some particular phrasings Shima's used before to refer to her journey back from the scandals of yesteryear.
