Kana is using Ren to cover her relationship with another woman Ren admits he understands why Kyoko would run away Kyoko suggests that he confess to her It might work
I binged this whole series in just 2 days, all i can say is that i hope he just confesses already. In the middle section so maybe started around volume 20+? it started to feel padded. But the last from volume 35 has been interesting. Especially this ninja one. Feel like this series is heading towards its inevitable end, hopefully it ends strong.
