(love!) life suddenly takes an incredible turn!
Now that they’ve been dating for just over six months, Takeo and Yamato finally have their first kiss! Meanwhile, Takeo’s mom goes into labor, and something happens that makes her realize how much Takeo’s grown… There’s also a hint that love might be in Sunakawa’s future…!

Review:
In the midst of
Takeo freaking out over his kiss with Yamato, his mother is getting farther
along in her pregnancy. And when Takeo’s mother starts getting bigger and
continues doing everything around the house, he freaks out about that. And when
she starts having contractions, he really freaks out. Suna ends up taking
control, calmly telling Takeo what to do.
It’s all very
sweet, really. And when she finally has the baby, she’s adorable and Takeo is
the best big brother.
I do have to say,
though, that I felt it a little weird that his mother was at the hospital
alone? Takeo and Suna and Yamato and Takeo’s father check on her several times,
but they’re not there constantly, and Takeo’s father goes to work at some
point. They are at the hospital, in the waiting room, when she has the baby,
though.
Then it’s
Valentine’s Day. A group of them go out together, and Takeo has expectations
for chocolate, excited and trying to love whatever Yamato gives him, and it’s all
adorable. Takeo’s expressions during these chapters in particular are hilarious
and adorable. Then we’re left off with the possibility of a new girl in love
with Suna.
This series is
adorable and hilarious and I love it. I can’t wait for the next one.
