Review:
Somewhere along the way in this series, Kaguya and Shirogane have
kind of accepted their feelings for each other. They're still worried
about what the other will think if they confess this, but a lot of
their trials now involve trying to make the other person think about
them or react to them. They still want the other to confess first,
but it's clearly because they're too afraid to do it themselves.
So far, Kaguya has figured out a trick to make herself not react
to Shirogane. And poor Shirogane has to deal with Ai punishing Kaguya
through him.
There's a few big chapters for Kaguya in this volume. She has to see
Shirogane with other girls, she loses her precious photos when she
gets a new phone, and we get to see how terrible of a girlfriend she
could be regarding boundaries. We also get a fun cooking-competition
parody episode in this one—as Chika thinks she's a smart food
critic.
This is a really fun series. It's nice to see where the characters
have gone so far and where they'll be pushed to next.
