When I say normal, I just mean not a monster. There's an enormous difference between having a skill and being a monster. In fact, most named characters in Saki (and by extension Achiga-hen) have some sort of skill or trait. Having a skill usually gives the user an advantage over most true normals (eg. how badly Bundou was crushed). However, most skill users also lack versatility, and that can be a serious liability at times.

I thought they were gonna continue with Yuki/Seiji from last week in some way. Maybe the mentioning of tennis circles could start eroding away at the Shou/Seiji relationship? Anyway, Seiji and Shou "double date" to the baseball game, Kouno confesses and Eri gets his by a train runs away. Sucks for Kouno.

I'm actually glad they don't continue with Seiji. Dude deserves a break after ~100 chapters of shit relationship happenings. Plus, I like Shou a lot more than Yuki. Tough break for Kouno, and the chapter title "One Way" makes it sound like this is gonna be a one-sided love thing. Sadness.

I did like the presentation of the Coco route and it was a pretty interesting way to bring the reader into the VN. At the same time it's difficult to respect a plot conclusion consisting of time travel, convenient invulnerability and psychic powers at the same time. Also it's always entertaining with characters complaining about their immortality when they could just go kill themselves when they get tired of living.

i mean there are 2 assassins, the old merc could just kill them from where he stands.... but nooo lets catch the boy!?

He cant, firstly saving the boy is important for reasons you'll find out later. Secondly its about ideals, or well rather how Lehm likes to get shit done. Its more important to him that no one on their team die than killing the enemy. None of the sacrifice, kamikazi bs.

I dont think they talk about it much but Chinatsu has very high awareness/sense sort of like a 6th sense within a certain range of where the enemy is. So its not viable to try. You could but you'd be exposing yourself to risk, (but thats something he finds out afterwards anyway).

Forget getting to Lehm,

I mean you could even say, why the fuck didnt they just assasinate Koko instead of walking up to her and grabbing her hand ? Because thats not how orchestra does things, they thrive on conflict and enjoy it (the music they make or whatever. It crazy shit but thats just how they operate). And they seem to like asking their victims questions before they kill them if they can. Personally I'd rather not think about it to much as far as the show is concerned. The dialogue is executed pretty badly. Just enjoy the action :p.

1, Why do they have no money, i mean his sister and their (the girls) father must have had savings or insurance, they even left the house, i mean they could sell or rent that, its clearly an asset that would transfer to the next of kin, or be held on trust until they are of age to sell it.2,Why did the relatives not chip in to help him take care of the girls, if they wished to stop him from taking them or teach him a lesson about the difficulty of taking care of them they could have just not allowed him to be a guardian in the first place? The other thing is, does it get a bit cheerier, cause my god its depressing, i would have never guessed by the intro.
