This chapter balances humor and heart beautifully. The pacing feels tighter than previous chapters, and the art shines during the inspection panic sequence. Fans of slow-burn character development will enjoy the growing bond between Miya and Kuroda. That said, the cliffhanger feels slightly abrupt — hopefully resolved next month.

The author’s style in Chapter 17 favors delicate description and internal reflection. Dialogue is naturalistic and often sparse, carrying emotional weight through what’s left unsaid.
