Review:
Meh. Meh meh meh.
In this volume, there's more drama caused by Uesugi. And we finally
get to see what is actually under Aoi's eyepatch, and why he's so
afraid of touching women. He even freaks out on Megumu at one point,
as he's being pushed and contemplating telling her what really
happened to him.
There's also some moments between Mitsuru and Azusa, mostly of
Mitsuru realizes what Azusa has been hinting at this entire time.
Also, her fantastic way of narcissistic-ally confessing while also
telling him that he's going to fall in love with her so hard that
he'll be the one begging.
But mostly there's Megumu and Uesugi and Aoi. I think it's mostly the
over-ly cheesy moments, the unnecessarily embarrassing scenes, mixed
with all of those chibi images and dumb faces for humor. It all just
seems too childish to me, while at the same time trying to be new and
creative and hilariously cute. It's too much, too badly done.
For one thing, though, I'm sure I would have enjoyed this more when I
was younger. So I'm sure actual high-schoolers would enjoy this a lot
more than I am now.
