'Love at Fourteen, vol 9' has finally come out, and though they've been getting closer, they're still keeping up their mature acts, even as their friends help them through challenging times. Something I find amusing is the chapter list here, which reveals that we're on Chapter 41 of their love story... and Intermission 56 of everyone else's. :) It's still a really cute series, with beautiful and expressive art, and a lot more emotional drama in this volume as the winter months seem to bring things closer to some sort of end? The balance here between staying 'mature' for their school life, while learning to be open and in love with each other, is something I continue to really appreciate. I'm looking forward to the next volume, whenever that comes out, to find out what's going to happen to them next.
