The Dangers in My Heart – 16 – Not Enough Hours in the Day
Valentine’s Day is here, and the boys who don’t have girlfriends want to ban obligatory chocolates so they don’t get the wrong idea or their hopes up.

Yuki immediately treasures the foreign coin Itsuomi gave her. It may be only a small token, but connects her to the bigger outside world. She feels like it could take her anywhere.

Let’s get the obvious out of the way: It’s all Ataru’s fault.

Utena’s constant tilts against Tres Magia (most recently an aerial slime-fest) are having a negative impact on her grades.
