I had a bit more conflicting feelings about this volume than the previous one. I still am enjoying the series, but one of the characters is bringing me down. 

Sakiko’s whole vibe is off. I don’t quite get her. I hope we get more about her specifically as she doesn’t make much sense to me. I can see why Chika would be alarmed by her behavior and how that becomes the way they get closer. However, I don’t really get why Sakiko would engage in such risky behavior in the first place. I also don’t know if it’s just because we’re seeing it through Chika’s pov, but her aloof way is unnerving. At least the ending of the volume made it seem like Sakiko really does love Chika, she might just be a bit of an oddball. That’s how I’m hoping things will progress since their whole relationship is just a bit iffy for me at the moment.

Now, if we focus on my beloved Minato and Hibiki 🤩 They continue being my everything. I loved that we got to see Minato break out of her shell a little during their festival performance. I also found Hibiki’s whole investigation trying to figure out Minato’s feelings super endearing! She can’t see what’s right under her nose, which is that she likes Minato right back! She’s just a little bit of an airhead when it comes to that, and it can make her say dumb things that agitate poor Minato’s delicate constitution 😂

Anyway. I’m definitely planning to continue this series!
