...Okay, so. My issue isn't that Nina wants to fight for Izumi. That's fine, because you can't always help who you love and of COURSE you want to do whatever you can to be with that person. No, my issue...is how underhandedly she's going about it. She's really not acting like a friend at all here--to Azusa OR to Izumi. I mean...if she DOES steal him away like this, it's really only going to hurt him, and their relationship definitely won't last because he'll feel betrayed. Every time he sees Nina, he'll think of Azusa and how he hurt her, and he's cared about Azusa for so long that it'll be devastating to him. I don't know, I just believe that if you really love someone, you want them to be happy, even if that means they're aren't happy with you. Nina is just being selfish right now and calling it 'love' (though...she's still very young, especially emotionally, so selfishness is somewhat to be expected). The way she's doing things won't make anyone happy in the end, and it's a bloody foolish way to end three perfectly good friendships.


Ufff quin patiment, la trama es complica i de quina manera!!! Tot semblava començar bé, però aquestes adolescents són imprevisibles i estan plenes de contradiccions. Tinc l'ai al cor amb la Hongo, no veig manera que acabi bé aquest sidral... Després està la Niina, amb una autoestima nul·la, que no entenc a què juga. S'està autodestruint per despit del profe de teatre? Què li passa pel cap? I la pobra Momoko, si us plau ho demano PARFAVAR que tingui final feliç, que ja n'hi ha prou de tantes tragèdies LGBTIQ+ als instituts!!!

Holy shit, this volume hit me WAY too hard in the feels, I think I may need to see a doctor...

It's funny that the first thing that came to mind upon completing this volume is, "Damn, I'm so glad I started this series." At first, I though this was going to be a standard rom-com about girls thinking about sex, and HOLY SHIT was I wrong! This series is primarily about that, but it deals with SO MUCH ELSE that it's kind of incredible how it can be packaged in one short series (it's only 8 volumes long). There are so many things that can be discussed in this volume, but for the sake of not spoiling too much (and this review not being ten pages long) here are my cliffnote thoughts:

1. Momoko deserved better and I want to wrap her up in a blanket and protect her from all the terrible things in this world.

2. Sugiwara character development AND self-awareness?! *faints in shock*

3. Kazusa and Izumi are so damn cute and precious, I'm so glad they get to be happy for once.

4. Poor Hongo, my poor confused baby, it's gonna be okay sweetie!

5. Sonezaki and Amagi are best couple FUCKING FIGHT ME, BITCHES!

6. Ohhhhh no, shit's gonna go down in the next volume and it's gonna be reaaaal baaaad...

Anyway, this was a great volume that hit me consistently hard in the feels. Loved it, can't wait for the next one!
