Really enjoyed this volume and I’m loving the character interactions!

This volume sees Futaba stand up for herself which I am glad she is FINALLY doing, Kou is still being a douche but he’s less of one than in previous volumes and Kikuchi...! I know some people think he pressured Futaba into going out with him (which he did) but his feelings for her are so genuine and at least he hasn’t dicked her about like Kou! Ahem.

Anyway...elsewhere we learn a lot more about Kominato’s childhood which I loved <3 baby Aya - so cute!! I really hope he and Murao get together in the end!

So lots of good things in this volume, the characters are developing nicely and I’m enjoying where the story is going.

5 stars
