yay, I've just realized that Fukuchi Tsubasa has started a new series, and... as always, it's crazy @.@ I wonder if there will be any special power or something like that.

Does anyone have any speculations as to how Gaku is ever going to catch up to Kako? (Well, besides through the obvious power of love )

He doesn't really strike me as the 'secretly a prodigy' kind of guy, though he is managing to beat his opponents with random stuff he learned from around the world. I wonder why he's not going through any real training to defeat Kako if he really wanted date her.

Maybe he will meet Kako's tutor (which she mentioned here). And he'll ask the tutor to polish his skill...just maybe

MyAnimeList states that Takkoku!! ended on 25. of January 2011. Is this true? I can't find any information about it elsewhere.

Read all 26 scanlated chapters of the series, and it's really enjoyable.

How many chapters did Takkoku!! end up with? Should be around 40, shouldn't it?
