Review:
Hana gets to confront the reason why she's giving Takane a hard time,
and Takane gets to confront his reactions and attempt to improve
himself. They both get some intervention from outside, and then
finally talk to each other and are honest about their feelings. It's
really touching on both sides, and very real from Hana.
That's not the end of that, though. They have to worry about Hana's
family. And then public appearances, because of the age difference
and because of who Takane is. It gets a bit complicated there, when
they pretend to not be together. I'm curious where that's going to
go, as they'll have to confront things at some point, particularly
the undermining reason for why they're hiding their relationship.
This series is an absolute favorite at this point, and a must for any
shojo fan. The dynamic between them is stellar and the comedy is
superb. It's always a delight getting a new volume.
