Not my favourite volume. As other reviewers have said, the arcs in this one are rather boring. The principal of the kid's school is a creepy too, previously I thought he was innocent, but he keeps picturing Takuya in cheerleading outfits and getting excites at the idea of Takuya cheering for him... very uncomfortable.

The baseball story wasn’t my favorite, but the Hawaii story and sumo wrestling story made up for it. It was cute!

Sebagian besar ceritanya tentang pertandingan baseball kelas 6a dan 6b, terus karena saya nggak ngerti baseball ceritanya jadi kurang menarik. Cerita Hawaiinya harusnya bikin sedih tapi saya nggak sedih. Papa Harumi kayak oom-oom banget di sini -_- Dan si kepala sekolah TK Himawari ini bordering pedophilia amat sih! Saya juga pengen liat mukanya, haha. Artnya makin bagus!

A bit boring for the most part, but the Mukais' sumo wrestling contest at the end has some hilarious moments.
