Goodreads Synopsis:
Haru learns that Raku
and Chitoge's relationship isn’t real! Haru didn't like Raku initially
because she thought he was a playboy, but now that she’s spent more time
with him at the festival and knows about his false relationship...
Meanwhile, Ruri's great-grandfather wants to meet Ruri's boyfriend, but
Ruri doesn't have one, so she chooses the perfect person to play the
role—Raku!
Review:
From the end of the
last volume, we get an interesting development from Haru. Finding out that Raku
and Chitoge are fake dating, her feelings change regarding him. She forces
herself to rethink her previous judgments, and realizes that her sister
actually has a chance with him now. Of course, her crush on him starts becoming
even more apparent, but I do like that she learns to trust what he says because
of this. She actually relents to trusting him more now that she understands.
There are a couple
comedic chapters after this, where another badly-tested drug is passed around,
and one where Marika forces Raku to pretend to be her boyfriend, and one where
Chitoge tries cooking something edible for Raku.
But the main plot
line is when Ruri is forced to visit her “dying” (or just dying) grandfather,
and ends up taking Raku pretending to be her boyfriend, and Shu, with her. This
is a development in seeing Ruri in a new light, and I like her, but it’s also a
bit sad. It explains her relationship with Shu more, though.
A good volume
overall. Will be reading the next one soon.
