Using the cliffhangers like you do should be illegal lol, I really liked how the story goes, it lets you get on with your day while also being tense, you actually feel caught up in everything. If anime has taught me anything, it's that it's usually a cowardly mayor who turns out to be the villain. That's what my money's on anyway, can't wait to see part 2 (or is there gonna be a finale finale part 3? :o )
