Personally I think that Akane should *not* know.  Simply because I
wish their relationship to last.  :)  If she *was* told, I'd like
her to laugh and say "I suspected as much, but didn't care either
way - after all, I loved him even before."  So there. :P

I agree about their behavior in the epilogue.  It should either be
toned down a little, or better explained.  As for the readers
benefit:  even if someone didn't get what happened right in part 1
(I suspected it as soon as I read it), Mousse's *almost*-slip
sometime later "It sure worked on... err." should really be enough.
