Review:
Takane and Hana come upon a challenge in this volume—Hana gets to
go with Takane to a work event, where she's supposed to be her older
sister, because that's who his father thinks he's dating. They go
shopping, trying to find something to make her look older. But at the
party, she realizes what their age difference could mean for him if
it's found out. It bothers her for a little bit, until Takane
confronts her about it.
After that, we get someone from
Takane's past. Nicola seems like a good guy, but also has some
questionable intentions. I like where it's going near the end, and so
I think the cliffhanger will be resolved nicely in the next one.
This is a really fun series. I like how competitive Takane and Hana
get with each other, but how clearly they like each other. Even with
the age difference, they seem very similar and get along really well.
A review copy was provided by the publisher, VIZ Media, for an honest review. Thank you so, so much!
