Go Akiko! It's sad but not too surprising that an old age home would be full of kegare.

It seems like your writing style has changed--or is it just for this part where they're running around trying to get rid of as much kegare as possible? Instead of one chapter picking up immediately where the last left off, the trend lately seems to be to skip over some time instead, with Akiko reflecting on what has happened since if it's important.
