Review:
It's summer vacation. And while Kaguya and Miyuki have shared their
phone numbers, and potentially made plans, they both still refuse to
be the first to make contact. They're essentially in the same
position: miserable because the other person won't text them.
We get a surprising amount of
vulnerability in this volume. All Kaguya wants to do is see the
fireworks with her friends, and yet her family turns out to be very
strict regarding her whereabouts. Miyuki does something
spur-of-the-moment for the first time, in an attempt to make her wish
come true. It's very sweet, and should be a momentous occasion as
they're actually honest about something with each other—but, of
course, instead they end up worrying and regretting everything.
After summer vacation, a new school year starts. They get new
electives, and get to catch up with their classmates. Poor Chika gets
tortured again, as Miyuki needs her help overcoming a weakness of
his—and he admits that Chika is the only one he can show his
weaknesses to. Though probably not in the way that Chika takes that
statement.
It looks like Miyuki's birthday is coming upon us, and it should be
interesting how Kaguya decides to show affection while pretending
she's superior.
This is really a great series. I'm rather hooked now, and hope that
they figure themselves out at some point. In the mean time, though, I
enjoy discovering more out about Chika, and seeing how Yu gets scarred
and insulted even more.
