I have to say I hated the angst during the reading of the single chapters along this past year, but now knowing that sensei told us to wait volume 9 where things will be solved I feel better! hopefully she will explain better the backstories of the 2 new characters, we all know the love between Chika and Natsuki is bigger than any difficulties! Also after such beautiful ending of vol 7 (and the starting of vol 8) I can really say that this is my fav manga ever, ありがとう市川先生!
