Review:
In this volume, Nemugasa attempts to update his image, and grows
jealous and possessive of Maya's new modeling popularity. Nemugasa
and Okino have to crossdress for their club, and Nemugasa grows
insecure by how hot Maya thinks he is like that.
In the middle of the volume, we got an update on Akira and Shimakawa.
Akira is a hard tsundere, maybe? He protests and says that he doesn't
want to be with Shimakawa, but then he sneaks in to cuddle when he's
asleep... It seems like Akira makes a step forward here, at least.
We meet a new character in this volume, who might be growing close to
Okino. Okino is a bit of a spoiled brat, and so of course he's rude
to the guy before changing his mind. He's also very shallow, and I
hope he learns a lesson at some point.
There's a sexual harassment scare in this volume, and I absolutely
love that this brings up worries for Maya, and he's reminded of his
problematic actions at the beginning of the series. The fact that
this is even mentioned, let alone a plot point for a few chapters, is
extremely appreciated. These actions are usually completely
disregarded, and even though I am even okay forgiving them, seeing
them discuss it is important. Maya and Nemugasa discuss their
issues—they think about them and worry, but they also bring it up
to each other, talk about it, and then move forward. This is such a
key point in this series.
Now it looks like a new possible worry is coming. I'm excited to see
where that cliffhanger goes.
