Author's Commentary #83:
Time to talk about Chapter 83: Christmas eve angst.
The events in the story are starting to move along quickly. Last chapter was Halloween, now it's Christmas eve. However, the reason things are rushing through is because I needed it to be 2017 in the story, due to the fact that in the universe this story and others take place in, a very important event takes place in 2017. If you read Escape Witch, you'll probably know what the event is, but if you didn't I'll say no more and let you enjoy the experience.
As for the chapter, Rika and Masaru just did what 90% of shounen manga couples don't do and had sex. Funnily enough, they aren't the first couple in any of my series to have sex as that honor goes to Leona and Mukuro from Life Stream.
This chapter was in the original, and is pretty similar to its original counterpart. This will be true for most of the chapters leading up to the remake original arc. In fact, I'll confirm now that the remake exclusive arc takes place in March 2017 in the story, so expect to see any chapters from the original that took place before then along with any birthday chapters appear before the arc starts.
That's all for this commentary. I hope you enjoyed it.
