Spoiler for 103:

MAN, about time! I was feening for the next chp so bad....

Him having sex with Yuko is not all that much surprising in hindsight, but it wasn't something I expect would happen. I feel bad for Saki though; she definitely loves Akira, but she doesn't have any chance against the catastrophe know as Yuko. She had to have known though right? That he still loved Yuko; esp after the restaurant scene when Yuko appeared while they were at the table. I would say Akira was s**t trying to lie his way out, but I guess that's what you do when your current gf catches you with your clothes half off after just seeing you prev gf.

I don't think she's out the story just yet. I won't count her out until Akira goes to Tokyo, either with or without her.

Akira seemed to remember about Yuko talking about the lovers suicide, but forgot that she refused to do it when Akira asked because she wanted to have a child in that town. It would def be a Yuko move to be using this to re-ensnare Akira back unto her grasp; I wouldn't be surprised if she's using the lovers suicide BECAUSE of how impactful of an option it was to Akira. No doubt she was the one who cleaned up the fish and tank at the end, though its kinda hard to believe the meeting with Saki was planned... is what I'd like to say, but I remember an image of Yuko sneakily listening to Reiji's and Kazu's conversation and using that info to trick Kazu into being her stooge again(iirc, she got him a prostitute so when Reiji got home would dissuade himself from helping Kazu by giving him a large sum of money to escape(chp 82, pg 17)). Very possible she did that here.

One small detail that caught my attention was the kind of fish that was in the tank. The fish seem similar, if not the same, as the one he got for Nagi, and the tailfin reminded him of the first meeting with Yuko. But we already knew Nozoe couldn't forget about her.

Live adaptation now... anime later hopefully.
