The "I hate you" moment wasn't included, guess we'll get it once we get Yuko's side. That said, Yuko is definitely the one who pushed Uryu on the brink so I consider it her fault.

Yuko has been described as an abyss but this time Esemori outright said she's a demon. And as if to prove him right, Yuko lures her new "daughter" into the clutch of Gen's father at the end of the chapter.

Great flashback! Can we get back to Chako now =03? Been worried about her all this time....

Spoiler for 105:

In 104, we finally get Saki's final farewell. I figured that they'd at least give her one more shot, but it was more to let Akira know that Yuko still loved him, since he didn't know(or didn't believe) she did. I also revealed that Saki was intentionally showing off to Yuko that she was dating Akira. The clues were there, sure, but I figured she was too kind to really do such a thing. That flashback between her and Yuko though, that was really spiteful. I wonder what Yuko felt in that moment?

In 105, not too surprised Akira was the one who killed Uryu, though I didn't know exactly how it'd go down. Yuko never gets her hands dirty directly after all. I oh-so-hate that they didn't show the actual deed; the looks on their faces in that exact moment could tell its own story, I'm sure. But if it wasn't already obvious, this definitely means we are getting a Yuko perspective. They HAVE to. Oh, and for the "I hate you" line too. Forgot about that.

Here's a thought though; if she always believed he would come, wouldn't that mean that the moment she decided to die with Uryu that Akira would come to save her? Which would mean she never expected herself to die, knew that pushing Uryu on the brink of suicide would eventually kill him, and Akira would become her savior? So when Nozoe comments about Yuko testing him and being ready to die, I wonder how true the "ready to die" part really is.

That ending portion where she takes Ms. Shiba to Gen's dad is something else. A true demon indeed. Never saw that coming even in the slightest. Now I wonder what her angle is going to be? She already knows Reiji and Gen tailed it to Tokyo, but what kind of plot could she be brewing with this move? Even if Gen's dad finds Gen and brings him back, what purpose is that going to have for Yuko to re-trap Reiji?
