I actually really like the direction this story is moving now. Misao and Kyou's relationship seems to be moving away from the weird abusive undertones to grow into a more supportive relationship for the both of them. There were some sweet moments here. I also liked the inclusion of Kyou's father and the bits about his family's past. The gaps are slowly being filled in, in such a way that it seems the story is transforming from being some vaguely troubling, though somehow addictive, smut, to something with more depth. I'm eager to see if it continues on this path.
