Valentine's Day and a summer festival with fireworks are cliched, sure, but they add just enough sizzle to this slow will-they-or-won't-they tease of a romance to put a smile on my face. Plus we have the lesser seen Setsubun and Obon traditions for a little variety.

It’s business as usual for our coworker companions. Between exorcisms and festivals and chickening out, there’s no shortage of fun, but a surprising dearth of progressive storytelling.
Yes, asking for something to happen in a comedy romance book that is looking to mine the most it can out of going nowhere as slowly as possible is a bit much and the jokes are pretty fun, but there’s no getting around how much this feels like the last volume, just without the beetle.
Still, it’s a good time and that’s enough to get the reader invested, so no complaints there. By the time we’re barely ten pages in, Igarashi’s grandfather has overloaded her with beans and they end up making bulletholes in the walls once that story’s played out. It’s just that sort of story.
That level of weird has been slowly creeping into the series, taken to its most ridiculous extreme during the spirit section where the most unlikely person turns out to be psychically attuned and ends up performing an impromptu exorcism.
I do wish there had been more Tsukishika, who is here a little bit but doesn’t bring nearly as much of her weirdo energy to things. The one panel of her during the magazine story gets amazing mileage from her character just showing up though.
On the relationship side, I’m honestly having the most fun with Sakurai’s little brother and his unrequited crush on Igarashi’s adult friend Kurobe. Even knowing where that wall slam story is going, it’s freaking adorable. This storyline’s a treat for anybody who’s ever gone through a similar crush.
Elsewhere nothing moves, as I noted. There are some cute moments - the festival fireworks in particular are capped off by a great line from Igarashi. She and Takeda continue to share some sweet moments that make the wait for their coupling more bearable.
And while Kazama and Sakurai continue their dance (and are pretty obvious to one another), Kazama really botches it but good towards the end and it definitely feels like a major mistake is made. Sakurai’s reaction is very believable, which might be why it’s so surprising. They’re kind of more interesting than the leads at this point.
3.5 stars - I was going to round this up until I realized that in terms of forward momentum there basically isn’t any and that leaves everybody in the exact same spot they were last time. So, fun as it was, I think we’ll save the 4 star review for when something actually happens.

3.5 Stars. Honestly this is the first time that I felt like the series nearly grinded to a halt. There was always some form of comedy in every chapter but I wish it was explored more. I could have seen being stuck in the elevator turning into a whole story but it was just used for an easy joke. Same with the picnic. Also several times characters felt completely different then what is to be expected, Sakurai coming across as almost mean at times can be explained with her getting fed up at how slow her relationship is moving but her brothers story is starting to wear a bit thin in my opinion. Grandpa is always a blast as well as any nonsense Mona is involved with. The last 3 pages however saved the volume in my opinion, can't wait for volume 7.

This is such an underrated series. I love it!
There were some serious LOL moments, yet again. The scene when the elevator doors open made me LOL so hard I almost fell out of my chair. So there's an ongoing squabble between the old man and senpai. It appears that the 2 MC really care for each other. Granpa just wants to make sure senpai is good enough for his beloved granddaughter. As for that other office couple, she got the boing going on. And he's totally clueless that she's into him. Dude, she digs ya, man!

I am really enjoying this series, and it's cute. But I am hoping for more progress, this is like a slow slow burn. I guess I am used to things that quickly change, and each time I hope for something more. But they are beginning to understand there feelings. I hope something happens soon

Probably one of my favorite volumes so far. The elevator scene, him coming over to her house and cuddling her by accident and that fireworks scene at the end. *chef’s kiss*
