This manga really is becoming something of a super lighthearted palate cleanser for me to turn to in the midst of everything else that I'm reading that tends to be serious, dark and/or emotionally heavy. I think that's part of why I continue to go on reading it, regardless of the ecchi nature of the series. (Fair warning that this particular volume has more gratuitous butt shots than the previous two. The cleavage and boobs I'm used to being practically everywhere, but this is the "ass out" volume, to really put it crudely.)
We're introduced to Koharu Fujiwara in the previous volume at the tail end of chapter 12, and here we really get to see the impact she's going to have on Miku, Yabe-sensei, and their relationship overall. (And to be quite fair we also get to see that they're both going to have equal impact on her in the long run.) She's an interesting character and something of a mesh of other archetypes in one, and I do hope the series allows her to develop and become friends with Miku the longer they're around one another, even if she's being set up as a romantic rival.
We also just get more heartfelt moments with Miku overall, and I think that's why she's grown on me as a protagonist. Yes, she tends to have a very shamelessly flirtatious nature, and she's also in many ways still a very young and innocent girl in high school figuring out her feelings. I love that she's allowed to be both at once, even if I get exasperated with how hypersexualized this series gets. (Again, I'm fully aware it's an ecchi and that's going to happen; but sometimes I feel like there are limits that get pushed beyond the norm and every now and then it gets on my nerves.)
All in all, my gripes aside, still happy to be continuing with this series. It's a nice departure into something fun for a little while in between everything else.

This is just the cutest manga.
Enter new girl, enter new competition. Gee, sensei sure has it rough. Not one, but TWO cute girls are wanting to spend time with him, & have crushes on him. And he's mostly clueless. Sensei doesn't realize that Gal girl's "tricks" & teasing are her way of flirting with him, & it's also her way of trying to get him to understand that she adores him & dearly loves being with him. But, and it's a big but (pun intended), what she wants is a forbidden love, because he is the sensei & she the pupil. What the gal wants, is something she can't have. And she knows it, and it's driving her nuts. Now, enter cute teen girl #2. Student council VP, a favorite of all the sensei at the school, & supposedly a stickler for the rules. Yet she too has started pining away for sensei. So much so, that she not only is ignoring inappropriate behavior by the gal girl, but is also starting to cross lines as well. Hmmm! Interesting things afoot, to be sure. Who else suspects we may soon be seeing cute girl #3 enter the story? This manga is so much fun. I love it! Art, excellent, especially when it comes to the female figure. Dialogue, great. Characters, believable, relatable, likeable, & adorable.

A definite improvement over the first two volumes. The addition of Fujiwara Koharu into the story means it isn't and can't be just the same antics repeatedly (though they are still there, it isn't as much and they do change as Miku realizes, albeit slowly, they have to).
Hope the rest of the series keeps going on this upward trend.
