Okay first, I honestly don't care what happens to Akane or Clay. But, I can't help buy be curious to what Ohkubo's got planned for them.
Also, I'm actually sort of confused about your stand on the manga so far... I'm not trying to be a troll or anything, just curious. Are you for or against the way Ohkubo's writing the plot? I mean, don't get me wrong, the Salvage arc was weird and should best be forgotten, but I kind of like the whole moon battle idea. Sort of give the impression he's building up to something like a finale. Plus, the whole 'lunacy' deal which I actually just figured out. And there's always Maka's fight with Chrona to look forward to.
P.S the only reason it says Anonymous is because I don't have a livejournal
