Spoiler for 173:

Nagi having been abused as a child was always a given but the author somehow managed to make it extremely explicit without actually showing anything.

I was super angry that after everything he had done to make her life a living hell, Mao just abandoned her to pursue his own happiness. I was quite relieved when the latest chapter revealed Reiji intends to track him down and kill him. I know it's not a good thing for Reiji, but if anyone deserves comeuppance in this story, it's Mao. Maybe this way we will also find out why he is so evil.

At this point it feels the only way we'll get a positive ending for Reiji and Nagi is if the detective turns out to be competent and manages to uncover Mao's crimes and convince Reiji he should rot in prison instead. Sadly, he strikes me as caring but not very bright.

Given all the foreshadowing, I'm guessing Reiji got Yuri pregnant, meaning the cycle will continue because she's also a complete nutcase I can't imagine raising a child well.
