I still like the story and I’m attached to these kids and I like seeing them grow but the overarching plot is going circles. Clearly Shimura Takako likes incorporating plays into their manga but we’ve had it already here, was is it that necessary the second time?

I flew through the volume and it was a good time but it’s getting tiresome.

Some thoughts:
• chapter 74: I’m still very confused by how Japanese school work.
• ch 78: I’m proud of Shuu for expressing her feelings towards Doi, it was like a necessary cold shower for the boy. He’s going to do better now. And it was cute that Shuu said that Mako is cute.
ch 79: Doi-kun chapter was fun.
ch 81: Seya and Maho have sweet relationship and Maho has become generally calmer.
ch 82: Shuu and Anna had such a good convo 👌🏻😭👏🏻

This volume was a little hard to follow. I don't really like that they're doing another play. It feels too repetitive. Doi is still so confusing to me. Like is he trying to bully Shu? Is he trying to be friends? What is happening here?

more of the same.
to me at least.
maybe that's what happens when you read 2000 pages of a comic book series over the course of five days.
