Goodreads Synopsis:

AN UNEXPECTED VISITOR

When Tasuku attends a workshop organized by Cat Clutter, the last person he is expecting to see there shows up: his crush, Tsubaki! Is this the beginning of a dream come true?

Review:

After the last volume, Tasuku is still getting over his fight with Misora and worrying about what Tsubaki knows. This leads to Tsubaki suddenly helping out with the remodel business, and thus being around Tasuku a lot.
There's some interesting themes confronted in this volume. One of the characters at Cat Clutter is trans and this causes some issues when someone from his past shows up. And Tasuku gets to see when someone around him stands up for an lgbt issue during a conversation. While all of this is happening, he's growing closer to Tsubaki, only for Tsubaki to freak out about it because of his own denial issues.
This series is rough. The way these issues are handled are realistic and hard to take some times, but I'm so glad to see this kind of representation because of it. These issues shouldn't be denied and shameful in the way that they are here, and yet it's true still.
Highly recommend.
