Yen Press, 2017
10 cups of tea out of 11
Summary: A bunch of secrets are revealed in this volume. We learn more about Yuki’s fellow council member, Machi. We also learn about Akito’s parents.
Likes: The way Minagawa chooses to say goodbye to Yuki when she graduates. It was really mature and cute.
Dislikes: Kureno’s choice. I understand it but still don’t like it. Akito’s mom.
Overall there is a ton revealed in this volume. I’m a little conflicted about some of it, were some of these secrets really necessary to the plot? But there was a bunch about Akito and his parents that I didn’t see coming.
