THINGS I HATE, in no particular order:
1. "Jeez, Tori, why are you always so jealous of the guy who's constantly hitting on me? Don't be so possessive! PS I'm going on an overnight onsen trip with him on the day that I forgot is my birthday. Hope you didn't have any plans for us, even though you always do something awesome for my birthday and I never do anything for yours!"
A. That level of cluelessness is not cute, or funny, it's just annoying. How dumb do you have to be to not realize someone likes you when they are constantly asking to draw you nude? TAKE A HINT
B. When Chiaki was thinking about how Hatori always gives him some super awesome present for his birthday, and he hasn't done anything for Hatori since they were in college (what is that, almost 10 years ago??), just...UGH. THAT IS FUCKING TERRIBLE. CHIAKI, YOU ARE A TERRIBLE PERSON.
2. As far as I can tell, Chiaki likes two things about Hatori: that he's crazy about Chiaki (WHY), and that he cooks really good food. Like, to the point that when Hatori says he can't come and see Chiaki for a while because he's busy with work, Chiaki thinks, "Aww, that means I can't eat his food." A relationship where one character is DEVOTED to the other, does EVERYTHING for him, is crazy about him, etc, and the other character is like, "Meh, he makes good food" is not romantic AT ALL and not enjoyable for me to read about. I get that some girls want the fantasy of a boyfriend who is perfect and will love them no matter how much of a screw-up they are (or think they are), and that's fine, but dude, I would hope that in said fantasy you would LOVE YOUR BOYFRIEND BACK, JEEZ.
Once in a while Chiaki wonders what Hatori sees in him, and I seriously wish he would ask, because I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW, TOO, WTF. Though no doubt Hatori's answer would be "everything" or some shit, ugh.

I think, the existence of another author for this book brought new atmosphere. But it still falls into Nakamura-sensei generic trope. The right amount of cheesiness, but it's not like I'll miss it after years.

**1st read, 05/2016**
I liked this one more than the first volume. Even if I would have DIED to read this in the manga, reading it as a book was not that bad.
In this second volume there are a lot of things that I really loved and Nakamura's graphics were just perfect. And even though at first I didn't like the way that the author was doing the romance, the last 3 chapters were totally BEAUTIFUL. I know that I've said before that I don't like reading that kind of stuff in that way, BUT the last part was just...perfect. (i NEED manga panels of this pls)
I can't wait for the next volume :( I know that part of vol 3 and vol 4 are not in the anime and that makes me so happy because Tori and Yoshino are my fave couple from the show and..and...asdhhdhhshsh I NEED MORE OF THEM!!! :(
Please Yoshino, do not be Onodera Ritsu.
4.99999....sexy stars.

There is a little bit of an improvement on their relationship, but what annoys me was Chiaki's subtleness (again), and he's still not sure of his feelings for Hatori even if they're already going out for a year.
But I'm still going to read their books. And I hope that Chiaki's gonna realize his own feelings for Hatori coz he's obviously in love with him.

I don't really like this pairing. Chikai is so rude and it's hard for me to like him much because of it. Their storyline also just kind of makes me mad. There is drama for no reason and when there actually is real drama, it's because of Chikai. I love this series so I can't say I completely dislike their story, I just don't Ike it as much as the other two I've read up until now.

I liked this one way better than the first book! But I am still not okay with how the relationship started. I'm kinda cheering on Yuu to win Chiaki's heart because he never tried to force himself on Chiaki.
I prefer the Yokosawa-books tho. Big time!

All the complaints of volume 1 still apply here.
