Yup, I was lagging quite a bit... read 234 to 298 and it got better.
The groups chosen for online reading were sometimes just plain awful. GMT really does an incredible job at cleaning the raws.


Heavy spoilers Ahead. I mean it, even more for that manga...



You've been warned



Multiple times now.




Regarding the story, it feels like it's accelerating a lot towards some end maybe?
We've had a real kiss and recently even had a hint at sex that did not offuscate Bell and K1 (C293 P23) when they fully experienced this. After all, they were able to fully feel gentle breeze, ear nature sounds and all.

So now they're at the point when their union might really be fully recognized, being the first such couple to ever pass the test.
(Test that was pictured in the 2000 OAV)
They've met Bell's mother, that was a first too, it was easy to recognize her immediately.
Now they're trying to win her father, who even gets a name but will probably never get a face.
After all, He's God

I wonder if i'll wait another 5 years (dang! that much!) and read through the chapters at high speed again.
I have strong bonds to that manga, for many reasons I explained. I love some of the detailed drawings we get at times.
But God, manga release is a slow thing and it's hard to follow a story that spans over multiple years and even decenies.
But that's also why you can get attached to it that much.
