I liked this chapter a lot. I agree that the Mimi-tampon scene is more educational rather than anything else (the anatomy pictures give me that impression).
That said, I just have a feeling that something is brewing and that Aoki is going to have his hands full soon enough. I always think he is at his best when he is occupied with Rin, Mimi and Kuro. Now that Kuro is ever so slightly warming up to him and Mimi is starting to stand up for herself, he has more to deal with than just Rin.
I feel this chapter is building up to something. Chika shows some protective behaviour towards Aoki and also the stereotypical nosy, cheerful, protective little sister (the next step up is the stereotype little sister who secretly loves her older brother, but I don't think Chika's character is taken that far). Chika confronts Houin and I am sure that is who she will focus on, while none of the adults is paying attention to Rin. So it's only a matter of time before one of them catches her. If it's Houin, it would be bad. If it's Chika, anything is possible. If the picture with Chika and Houin lying on each side of Aoki is anything to go by, then I feel that KW has more in store for us and Aoki will have plenty to deal with. Maybe something will finally happen with Aoki and Houin.
