Review:
Since Aya is still healing, Towa suggests they all go to a hot
springs that's supposed to be good for that. It ends up being a big
group event, with everyone going, though some more reluctant than
others. We see that Aya, who initially refused, has some underhanded
tactics. Towa isn't interested in him at all, only doing this for
Mitsuki, but Kyosuke sees right through Aya.
Despite the rocky way this starts, the group ends up getting along
rather well. They all have different ideals and ways of looking at
things, and there are some interesting discussions during this trip.
There are also some pretty sweet moments between Mitsuki and Towa.
That ending, in particular... Oh man, they're so cute.
I really like this series. The guy friendship is very real, and I
love seeing the guys hanging out. I also really like Nana, and of
course the main romance. Aya keeps me constantly conflicted; I want
to hate him, but then he makes me like him about halfway through.
He's not a bad guy, but I'm never quite sure what he's planning. I do
think he doesn't treat Mitsuki equally, though, and instead acts like
he has to protect and shelter her, and that's not fair to her. Which
is just more of a reason that she is better with Towa—those two are on
very even footing.
I can't wait for the next one, of course. Following this series very
closely.
