Loved the anime and already loving the manga series. This volume follows the initial meeting and reunification of Futaba and Kou who had to move away due to unknown family reasons at the moment and seems to have changed a lot since the last time Futaba saw him. We get a glimpse of how catty people can be in high school, seeing how Futaba feels like she needs to act effeminate so that she doesn’t get attention from her male classmates and becomes more likeable to the other girls in her grade, but when Kou comes back, who now goes by Mabuchi instead of Tanaka like she knew him as, she realizes that she was changing herself for all the wrong reasons. Loved the brief intro we get to all of the characters, especially my favorite little ball of sunshine Kominato. Loved this and can’t wait to keep reading.
