God, but isn't this chapter of MF great. This is the real first tiny glimpse we get of Ryuuko and Shirogane's relationship.

But, shallow that I am, I'm still squealing with glee over the sheer amount of different faces Shirogane shows. I honestly think he showed more expressions in this chapter alone than in half the series - and it doesn't escape the notice that it's always Akira/Ryuuko pulling them out of him. Scary!Shirogane! Crying!Shirogane! Resigned!Shirogane! Sullen!Shirogane! *squeals and stares at the shinies for another hour*
