I don’t even care about all the fan service, I just want everything to be okay for Banri and Kaga.

I get that one of the themes of this particular volume was insecurity, but did we really need so many bikini shots of the girls to do that? Otherwise, the story was good, but I don't feel like it advanced Banri's plot much.

[James · Rating 4 out of 5]

Cute but getting away from the main story line.

[Cklint Sablad · Rating 5 out of 5]

it made me cry at the end

[Glasdow Teacosy · Rating 2 out of 5]

Obligatory beach episode. Car crash. Dad slaps Kouko. Kouko throws a temper tantrum. Confusing panel transitions at the end where they obviously ran out of pages. Not a great volume. You could skip almost all of it except the last chapter.
