Kyaaaaaa what a beautiful chapter =$! She realizes at last! Now I want to know when she'll tell Fujimoto >.

That panel on page 3, of Fujimoto, is gorgeous. Definitely Clamp brought the A-game to this one...

Thanks for the fast translation ^^

Kobato did not awake the excitement TRC did in me, but it's interesting in its own way though, it's nice watching her falling in love in such a 'clear' way, unlike many of Clamp's characters whose feelings are so complicated and conveyed in such twisted ways sometimes...

It is a simple story, notwithstanding the Iorogi/Ginsei/Genko past whatnot, but that's kind of refreshing after TRC and HOLiC. ^_^
