Volume 18 of A Side Character's Love Story doesn't really take any big steps forward for the characters -- at least, not for Nobuko and Hiroki, though there are some developments for their friends, finding their own way through negotiating relationships.
It's a sweet volume, though, with Hiroki spending more time with Nobuko's family. There's a cute bit where Nobuko is actually comfortable enough with him to sulk a bit about something, which her family correctly recognise as showing how much she trusts him with her inner self. (And Hiroki, as usual, tries to communicate about it, which is something I really love about them as a couple.)
So nothing startling, just a continuation of watching the two of them grow up and develop as a couple.
