Highlights
➽ I loved seeing Komi actually get jealous of Tadano's friends for the first time, especially as he was her first real friend! Onemine Nene is a very mature girl and a good friend to Tadano. She's sceptical about Komi and mistakes her anxiety for arrogance. In the end, Tadano urges her to give Komi a chance and Onemine becomes her friend! (She also ships Tadano and Komi, so I immediately liked her!)
➽ A big part of this volume is the school's culture festival! Komi's class is deciding on what to plan and ends up choosing Komi's idea of a maid cafe! During the preparations Komi ends up spending more time with Onemine and Otori, the latter is always doing something dangerous when you're not looking 😂
➽ The maid cafe itself is a huge success and of course, everyone is swooning over Komi wearing a maid outfit! There are lots of shenanigans as Najimi tries to monetize the cafe to an absurd degree and a maid cafe expert called Akido is absolutely floored by the class' performance! Tadano ends up wearing a maid outfit as well at Najimi's insistence and despite being embarrassed, I thought it suited him!

This was just a fun little romp of a volume, largely focusing on Komi and Tadano's class preparing for their school's cultural festival (and Komi making a few more friends along the way.) She seems a lot more comfortable in this volume compared to some of the past ones, while Tadano seems to take a bit of a backseat during some of the shenanigans that ensue. It's a lot of fun to keep going with this series~.

Really mixed feelings on this one. The art remains great, as do the social challenges of the characters. It also returned to a more unified plot than the previous volume. At the same time, that plot had a number of digressions that didn't land well scattered throughout.
All that said, Vol. 5 did deliver some moments that I've been waiting to see since the series started, delivering them with quiet emotion and touching sincerity.
