Similar to how I watched the anime, I've been reading the manga in doses; taking long breaks in between. Up to this point, a little seemed to go a long way.
Something... changed. I think it started around the time of Tsuruga's first chat with the chicken...er, Kyoko. XD
Really, tho, I thought this was a great chapter. In fact, I even forgot that I was reading a manga.
