   	Thanks for your own work. Newer chapters are showing up about   
   once a month, latest download was chapter 74.  Am re-reading the   
   story and I think the Tatsumi-san (Yakuza boss) emotional problems   
   are about to be resolved so that the others can get on with their   
   lives but we still have his x-dressing daughter to mess with the   
   minds of the others.   
   	Thanks again   
   	Bobbie
