I love this series so much 💖😭💖 It’s easily becoming one of my favorite BL series! 

First of all, I love that this series has more than once made characters face their prejudices. In this volume we get Okano who Aoki gets as a tutor. At first they’re getting along super well, but then Okano finds out Aoki is dating Ida and starts acting super distant. Ultimately, he’s made to contend with his prejudices and realize that he can be friendly with Aoki without it meaning that Aoki will inevitably develop romantic feelings for him. 

We also finally get Aoki and Ida talking a little bit about doing more “traditional” couple things…such as holding hands! It’s so freaking cuuuteee!!! We even get a little bit of jealous Ida in here. Be still my heart!

Akkun also finally GETS A CLUE in this volume (while still being a dumb dumb) and manages to convey to Hashimoto how she matters to him and he was trying to protect her feelings 💖 Finally some progress with this slow going romance! 😭

I’m curious to see where the side plot of Aoki getting a job will lead…so definitely looking forward to continuing the series!
