Another great volume in this series! Kotaro and Asako are lovely 💖

I’m happy to see both Kotaro and Asako further contemplate and imagine their future together 🥺 I gotta say I’m a total sucker for their imagined visions of each other as parents! Absolutely melted my heart. So sweet! 

I’m also glad we finally got to see Asako’s reaction to the soap Kotaro made just for her 💖 That was another sweet moment. 

If I’m honest, the main reason this didn’t get a higher rating was because Asako did get a little bit on my nerves. There was this little interaction where she thinks to herself, “Will it be weird if I sleep without a bra?” And I’m like GIRL. You are LIVING with this man, and his hands have been all over those titties. He won’t give a shit 😂 And it does annoy me a little the part where she needs to work out to lose a couple pounds, and she’s all like, “You can’t smell me for this whole week!” And I’m like girl 😭 we’ve established that Kotaro has never ONCE thought you stink. Just let him sniff you 😭

Anyway. At the end of the day, they’re both cute and I love their dynamic. I’m just a nitpicky bitch 😅
