Well, this was certainly a chapter full of adrenaline! Alice trying to kill Rentaro, Sekira having to fake his death by using her own blood, then a big chase between Makoto and Megumi at the end which ends with the latter seemingly stepping on someone. I honestly can't wait to see what happens next at this point (and if that's really blood or not)!
I really like the fact there are more plots happening at the same time (as well as some lingering plot threads like that mysterious message Megumi received), since it really gives you the feeling this is a big world with lots of characters and you're rally taking advantage of this.
As for Sekira and Rentaro's love story, it's developing in a very natural way and I'm honestly speechless and amazed by how seamlessly you were able to give a natural-born bully such as Sekira a love interest without making her act OOC (and you can even see that in episodes such as the last one, Gym Class—Sekira's dumbfounded expression at the end is totally in-character for someone like her even though we had never seen anything like that in the manga before, but we had already seen it in some HIH: A chapters here showing how well you understand her personality!); so, really, this is my favourite couple so far... and I'm really looking forward to seeing how their relationship develops from now on!
