This series is really growing on me. It's got all the typical plot beats of every other shonen -- I'll save people for the love of my friends! -- but the way it's done is really endearing and it makes sense with Gero's character growth and how he's gradually being able to open his heart more and more to people. The theme of this arc was also interesting with how it explores the possible corruption of these great bloodlines, the monstrosity that can result of pursuing power too relentlessly. At this point, I'm not picky about who Gero ends up choosing, as long as he gets the happiness he deserves. Also, the hamster girl and her little companions are just too adorable.
