Another Cliffhanger Dog

It had to be said: in a good work, supporting characters were just as important as the protagonist.

Take Kimi ni Todoke, for example. Just a moment ago, Kuronuma Sawako had still been worrying over whether her feelings for Kazehaya Shouta were love. While thanking Kazehaya Shouta's good friend, Sanada Ryu, she'd also asked him how he'd come to like his friend Chizuru.
