when the pair finally got together. Every scene seemed overtly silly and/or a little rushed. Especially when we’d put in so much time watching the Hasumi-senpai relationship unfold. Momo seemed to shine the most when he was standing out of the spotlight, loving without needing to be loved in return, and for a relationship that was so different and special I think it could have been so much more.

It’s understandable that they’d known each other inside out and for long enough that they might have rushed into familial happiness, and I found it terribly sweet that Momo was thoughtful and willing to take such giant steps for Sumire as the older woman, but I would have liked to see them adapt to the newness of romance a little bit more.

All throughout the Hasumi relationship the idea of marriage and children was somewhat precious, and finally with Momo it feels very happenstance. Sumire should have reflected a lot more, as Takeshi deserves. (he doesn’t even get the satisfaction of having his true name called) His understanding is saint-like really.

Fukushima does a convenient 180 when she goes from judging Sumire fairly as a rival and heading completely off the rails as a strip-tease love-affair who holds no qualms about getting her way by any means possible. She gets better, but the bitter taste remains.

The end of that relationship couldn’t come quick enough but also felt a little rushed until later chapters where they both reflected properly. He still got the short end of the deal, but they both should have realized sooner.

that the whole issue that she treated Momo AND Hasumi unfairly was ignored. Not only did she degrade one guy, but she basically cheated on another. Master/servant relationship I think is ok mostly because it is not nearly as degrading.. At least the master has respect for the servant. However with this it really was not ok at all and the author just kind of ignored that fact and wanted to give off the idea that it was ok and some type of maybe a normal relationship. Also another problem was that Sumire supposably all the sudden loves Momo (she really should have started calling him his real name btw) but really that doesn't make any logical sense. Considering how she was psychologically warped in truly sometimes believing he was a pet, this MAY be able to be true. But Idk if "Momo" could get over the feeling of being degraded and being cast down in her eyes that easily. These issues don't really add up to me, psychologically as well.
