RightStuf Synopsis:
  
Although Nao Kogure was once afraid of the delinquent Taiga Onise, she was soon touched by his kind soul. Taiga becomes a mentor to new student Miyabi Nishigaki. She develops a crush on Taiga and pursues him, which leads Nao to confide her feelings of jealousy to Futami.

Review:

Nao is trying to come to terms with her feelings of jealousy regarding Miyabi. For the first part, Taiga is oblivious, and then he realizes and feels so bad. I love how, through all of it, Nao and Taiga talk and figure it out between themselves. They need a little bit of outside intervening to finally accept their feelings, but then they come together. The openness and the maturity in their honesty is both refreshing and really appreciated. I love their relationship.
Miyabi is an intriguing character. She doesn't understand social conventions, and she really doesn't understand how romance works. It's a little unsettling at one point, how she tries to get closer to Taiga. But by the end, I like seeing how she's grown and accepted her feelings and what happened.
The next volume is the final one, and I'm really looking forward to seeing how it all wraps up. I've really loved reading this one.
