This volume was incredibly binge-able but also sad and frustrating. Also, for the last few volumes I've noticed and appreciated all the well-timed phrases on everyone's shirts that they never seem to wear again.

I love that Ken and Asako got together, but it happened super fast. I also don't like the timing with Ken changing his style. It felt like a glow up situation where she only accepted him after he changed for her, but I realize it was probably meant to indicate that he was choosing to grow for himself.

Also, Ryo is making me mad. He knows what's up with Meeko and Matsunaga. He keeps thinking that he wants Meeko to be happy but then pushing her to be with him.

And I love that Matsunaga is professionally successful and that Meeko is supporting him, but he's really messing up not making time for her. I have these feelings about him juxtaposed with the fact that he's still way too old for a high schooler.
