In Tennomifune Academy Class 1-7, the lovelorn Ruri Hibarigaoka (Hibari), the luckless Anne Hanakoizumi (Hanako), and the less than healthy Botan Kumegawa (...Botan) are just trying to get by. But add the perpetually lost Hibiki Hagyo and literal chick magnet Ren Ekoda into the mix, and the hijinks explode as these cursed kids tackle an endless lineup of lessons in luck. But who knows what their teacher has cooked up for their upcoming special "happiness exam"...?

The excellent moe art continues and this time there's even a story of some interest. Two teachers are exhibiting different ideas about education. There are five principal students in the story. None of them are especially attractive at the moment, but perhaps they will make progress in future volumes.

This volume was really fun for a couple of reasons. First off, it emphasized the friendship between these three main girls of Hibari, Anne, and and Botan. Well, five if you count Hibiki and Ren. The second great thing is that the actual plot goes forward. I love omake even with little plot as that is what a gag manga is. But some plot helps, and this brings it to bear.

Granted, looking at the way that the "Happiness Class" is being brought together in a program to help them with their misfortune is a plot. So it would be more accurate to say that the plot is expanded upon and fleshed out more. This is done via the relationship of the class and their sensei to the other students and a particular other sensei.

Despite appearing at first to be a jerkass and villainous, the other sensei does have an honorable streak as she does what she thinks is right and she does cut the Happiness students (in particular our main trio) slack when she ought to do so. So in general she is an antagonistic figure, but not villainous at all.

The artwork is kinda unique as it combines two differing styles. It is drawn to emphasize both beauty/fanservice AND cutesy or moe aspects. It isn't as cutesy as K-On, but isn't as fanservicey as Citrus, say. It's interesting to examine and see how well this mangaka combined two differing styles.

I find the friendship between the main trio of girls (Anne, Hibari, and Botan) to be adorable and the big "draw" of the series. I can't wait to see more of this in future volumes.

I was so worried this one was lost with the mail, as another one from the same batch did get in. But after a few days it finally popped up! Yay!

The third volume, and nothing new for me as an anime watcher. Everything in here was also used in the anime. And yes, at times that was a tad bit boring, but luckily the stories were still quite fun and I did enjoy seeing them again.

I do wish we would see the test scores for once. It seems that we never really see them, at times we get some mention on ranking, but not much, and that is a shame. I wouldn't mind to see a chart to see where each of the girls would stand. Of course I am sure Botan and Anne would be on top of the list. :P Those two never have any luck. Botan with her body. Anne with well everything.

But I still love Anne and her attitude. So many things go wrong in her life. She gets attacked by animals, she falls into rivers, she gets stuck, animals escape to find her, thunderstorms happen because of her, and so much more. However, she doesn't let that faze her and just continue her life in a happy-go-lucky way, never seeing anything bad. And I admire that. A lot of people would probably just give up on things, but not Anne. Though of course, her friends stop her from going to places just to make sure she is safe.

Botan, Botan, while I do like the character, it does annoy me that she gets sick/breaks/chokes/etc. all the time. The gag and the jokes just run a bit bitter. I don't think it is funny that someone constantly is on the verge of dying. Plus it also gets annoying. Can't the girl do anything?
Luckily in this one she showed that she also has a different side to her constant frail part. She really saved everyone by knowing that little titbit.

Hibari-chan is definitely my fav out of the 3 girls. She is a sweet, amazing, smart girl who is learning so much with her new friends, and I am so happy to see her get out of her shell and starts smiling.

So in this volume we have swimming, a sleep-over, exam time, plans for the summer. I definitely like the swimming part the most (even if it had that annoying teacher, I really hope she will see in that the Happiness class is worth it. ), and the test thing last. Why? The test thing worked much better in anime. Now it just felt it took ages to get anywhere.

But all in all, I definitely loved this volume, and I can't wait for Volume 4.
