RightStuf Synopsis:
After things on the school camping trip don't go his way, Kai's left dumped and convinced he's better off just giving up on girls and dating altogether. Yet somehow his friends rope him into a group date, and he ends up at the amusement park with...Riko!? But when Suwa-sensei turns up at the same park with another woman, will Kai be able to hide what he saw and protect Riko from experiencing heartbreak like he has?
Review:
This volume develops more of Kai's feelings for Riko, but a large
part of it explores the side characters, too. Kai's friends get more
dimension, and we meet Riko's friends, and a new girl. As they all
end up on a group date, they have to even out.
As they break off in pairs, we get to see their personalities better.
Two of them already hate each other (or at least the girl hates him),
then there's the odd match of innocent tall girl and short boy, and
the new reporter girl that invites herself with the aloof guy. I like
how this series seems to easily be switching up stereotypes. Kai is
the playboy, a bit of a wimp, and he's fallen for Riko, who's violent
and straight-forward and a bit oblivious. There's the mix of
height-differences with the one forming couple. And the
overprotective girl friend, who dislikes the supposed playboy, who's
actually just a nice guy, I think.
As the volume goes, we also get to see the true friendships. Kai's
group of guys are very close, and I really like their friendship.
They're there for each other, trying to help when they can,
especially when they realize Kai's feelings. There's also Kai's
family, who are big and close, and I quite like all of them as well.
And how Riko isn't used to it, but clearly likes it.
I enjoyed the first volume, and this one only expanded on that even
more. I'm excited to read more.
