Interesting that Sumire is the yorishiro they need to destroy. Also raises very interesting implications for Amane's relationship to Tsukasa and how they will eventually have to deal with him.

Translations are out, and they look pretty good unlike last time. Should some dump them? I'll do it if no one else wants to.
I can't see Tsukasa not being Hanako's yorishiro now, though I guess you could argue that he isn't it because he isn't confined to Hanako's boundary like Sumire is confined to No. 6's. Where even is his boundary, come to think of it?
I was thinking that too, since apparently boundaries don't necessarily have water in them (No. 6's and No. 2's inner reaches didn't after all). And since in boundaries "nothing is born but nothing dies", does that mean Nene is safe so long as she's at school/in his boundary? I don't want to steal OP's thunder, but I can do it if they don't want to.
What I'm most interested in seeing is real conflict surrounding Akane's stab-happy nature and the trust he's built with Nene. Can he still murder in cold blood to get what he wants after coming to love Nene? Was it all an act from the start (re: coping mechanism)?
I'm not sure that the manga will go so dark that they do straight-up kill Sumire, but I'm open to being surprised as well. Also, where the fuck is real Aoi and her hopeless clinger-on? Will they show up there too?
It's going to be a long month to wait for answers that will probably just raise more questions.
