Wow, Sakurako was a boy. No wonder he was so insane, with that and his mom being killed and all. I totally understand his over-the-top actions now, even though I still don't care for him.
Souma's life *really* sucked. O_o Ew on the step-mom thing, though. I guess Souma was such a luscious child he turned everybody into a pedo. No wonder he's so messed up and can't handle true love at all.
Is it going to end "happily?" I'm wondering now...I'm thinking she's going to stab all her reader's by giving hope then taking it all away, but that might really be too mean.
