I don't mind that the releases are 1/mo. What I dread is looking at the number of pages included in the newest chapter, because there seems to be 15-20 average. Then again, I'm not sure which would be worse: keeping the short chaps or having longer chapters to draw out the already-slow pacing even MORE. (You know that's what they would do. You know it.)
Anyway, Kyoko's just digging her metaphorical grave even deeper imo by suddenly taking Sho's side and defending his miserable character. She's right that Ren shouldn't assume things about other people (about Kyoko! Why wasn't she more offended that he was putting the metaphorical words in her metaphorical mouth!?), but who can blame him when almost all he has ever heard about Sho came from Kyoko when she was badmouthing and complaining about him, and now she turns right around and scolds Ren? Losing her temper and verbally 'taking Sho's side' right after being accused of having feelings for him? Yeah... that'll make everything look so much better... not.
Except, ya know, if Ren really looked at the picture, he might have noticed that Kyoko was not reciprocating. At all. So... yeah, Ren! Don't assume things!
