Review Response Corner
Ulrich362's Review: First off don't worry about taking longer, update when you can. Nobody's rushing you to update after all and if you need some more time by all means take it. Moving on to this chapter... Yuto and Yuya can exchange who's in control at will now, that certainly seems interesting. Of course even with that taking down Crow and Shinji at the same time won't be easy, especially if they decide to cooperate against Yuto. Looking forward to seeing what Yuya and Yuto ultimately decided on too. Oh, and the new format looks good to me. Interested in seeing what you have planned for this arc and the future ones. Incredible chapter, looking forward to the update.
