Goodreads Synopsis:
On the heels of the
sports festival comes the biggest middle school event yet--the school
field trip! But before Kazuki and Kanata can worry about keeping up
appearances in Kyoto, they'll have to pass their midterms.
Unfortunately, Kazuki's math skills don't stand up to his mature,
model-student appearance, so when he finds himself in a mathematical
midterm pinch, he asks for a favor from none other than...Shiki-san?!
Review:
Even
though Kanata and Kazuki pretend as hard as possible to be mature in
front of their classmates, sometimes they have to do that with each
other, too. As we see when Kazuki is too embarrassed to admit he’s
not understanding math, and has to sneak around to get tutoring.
This
is adorable, really. And it leads to Kanata going out with Shiki for
a day, and Kazuki hanging out with Nagai. I love these odd
friendships they’ve all formed. Kazuki and Nagai are real friends,
even if they don’t realize it. And I appreciate that Shiki’s
crush on Kanata is acknowledged as a real thing, even if Kanata
doesn’t know about it.
The
class goes on a school trip, and Kanata and Kazuki are forced to help
plan it, but luckily they’re in a group together. This causes a lot
of fun and adorable moments, like when the two start sneaking
pictures at each other. There’s a real moment of emotion, though,
when Nagai goes missing and the teacher freaks out when she finally
finds him. It’s rather sweet, honestly.
We
meet a new character in this volume, who has a crush on a teacher,
and see a little more of the pair in unrequited love with other
people.
A
new volume of this series is always a delight, which is good given
it’s going to be a while for the next one.
