Tsukihana Scans

Hmm, they're not really horses, well they're not really sure if they're horses or not. They did mention that they're rather deer-like with their great mountain-climbing skills. And since they're not sure that they're horses, it can't be assumed that they would have the same social behaviour characteristics of a horse. Obviously they're not that afraid of humans because the herd allowed Hana to stay pretty close and the foal wasn't afraid of her at all. So Tsunomata being able to get a ride on them isn't that much of a stretch either. ^^;; Probably the horses don't really have a natural enemy in the area they live except for that giant tree thing, which is now dead.

I don't think Hana will ever name the foal because she refuses to keep a wild animal as a pet. She's already learnt her lesson through the piggybara things. ^^;; As usual, she allows the foal to decide for itself what it wants to do, she rarely interferes with it.

Well, you also have to consider the fact that everyone over there knew about her father's role in the 7 Seeds Project. Ever since finding out, she's felt a lot of guilt over her parents' actions, so she probably didn't think anyone would take her side when it came down to it. And also, victim blaming is a really common problem in today's society, especially when it comes to rape victims. Sometimes it's so bad that even the victims end up blaming themselves, thinking it's their fault that they were raped, even if all the fault lies entirely on the rapist and not the victim. Not only that, after Hana was almost raped, I recall reading readers' comments saying that Hana deserved it and that Ango wasn't to blame at all. So you see, it isn't surprising that Hana would be surprised that everyone took her side and went up against Ango and Ryo. That sort of thing doesn't always happen. ^^;;

I'm not sure if she really will be afraid of that, Hana doesn't seem that concerned about Ango. Even when she didn't know that Ango had left, she was still more than willing to take Fujiko back to their settlement to see the baby delivered (in fact I'm pretty sure she forgot all about Ango and Ryo, it was really Aramaki that was worried about it, not her). I'm sure she feels that her problems with Ango are just between her and him, and that he's only a true threat to her and nobody else, but that she's prepared to hold her ground against him should he try anything else.

It's still the Awakening Insects story arc right now, it'll end soon. I believe the new arc starts with chapter 125? I think it's the 'Sea Chapter' next. :3 It takes an interesting turn, that's for sure. Everyone getting together was never going to be that easy, after all. XD

Unfortunately there were only a few people who mentioned 7 Seeds, Shojobeat has already announced their four new series: Seiyuu Academy, Hapi Mari, Yoroshiku Master and Midnight Secretary. 7 Seeds is probably better not released under the Shojobeat label anyway, since that will detract males from purchasing it (7 Seeds isn't really shojo anyway). You should make your appeal directly to Viz next time. :)
