@Bracie-kun: Yeah, I'm taking advantage of my free time (since classes have only just begun and there's nothing much to study for), and have been translating a bit. I've already got one and half chapters done. I'm aiming to get 4-5 done before things get busy. ^_^ Editing, of course, is at Bee-chan's leisure, so I'm not sure when I'll get to release the chapters. xD

Ah, I don't think Tamura-sensei will make Hana meet Ango/Arashi etc. just yet! There's just been a massive story arc on them, so I reckon she'll take some time with the rest of the Spring members (excluding Haru and Momota), as well as maybe Aramaki and Ayu? I just wanna see some of the other characters get a bit of limelight for a while. XD But I'm eager to know how the Ango x Arashi x Hana thing will pan out!

Yeah, I reckon Semimaru and Matsuri are definitely softening up Ryo's cold, hard facade! ^_^ I'm still wondering about him, but he's definitely had a soft spot for Matsuri for a while (since volume 18 anyway). Although he's not exactly gentle, he sure looks out for her. Semimaru seems to be constantly pissing him off, but more than that, Semimaru really surprises him. He recognises that, despite his foolish appearance, Semimaru has a pretty sharp perception, and that sometimes the things he says are really insightful/relevant to Ryo's internal struggles. At one point he thought of leaving them trapped and finding his own way out, but when push came to shove, he even saved Semimaru without thinking, only mildly regretting it after he'd saved him. It actually made me so happy when Ryo smiled thinking about Semimaru and Matsuri towards the end of the volume. :D I don't think I've ever seen Ryo genuinely smile before! But Semi and Matsuri definitely deserved Ryo's smile. Though they're playful and carefree, they truly understand the important things. =D The moments with Ryo, Matsuri and Semimaru were definitely my favourite parts in volume 19!
