freetalk for 5.24.06: Watanabe's new girl makes her 'debut' . . . She seems harmless enough . . . until she opens her mouth. Everyone notice Ryo's expression in the third panel? What has our precious 'Nabe' been telling Eiko, huh? And look at Mitsuru--oblivious to what has been said, other than the 'Nabe' part (is he a lost cause?!). Poor Ryo--she's not one to lash out or voice strong opinions, but . . . something's gotta be said!
