i am TOTALLY enjoying RnK too! and taisuke is definitely ryo's best role yet. but i mean how can anyone hate any character that is somewhat written by Kudokan. so ryo definitely got the right acting job this time coz Last Friends kinda did worse for his acting career than otherwise.

i have no recollections of kusano's interactions with news whatsoever but he seemed like a nice guy so, whatever goes. heh. but your uchi paragraph is so positive, i love it. ♥♥♥ XD as much as i like the idea, i do think it's very unlikely for uchi to return to eito. they made it seemed all complicated and such. but hmm...can't wait for the outcome of his solo cons and like, the final judgement. hah. i think the jimusho owes us a proper closure or something about what's going to happen to these guys.
