Well that was a relief once you open the book.

No one dies! Yay!

Anyway we get into the mind of these characters even more now. They're finally starting to admit their true feelings to one another, which is a breath of fresh air instead of waiting 20 volumes in a manga. Taichi immense guilt from his actions of the last volume. Futuba also tries to figure out her feelings and with the help of Masumi she might just get that.

It feels nice the characters moving forward with their feelings and truths. It's also nice to see that a lot of characters view them as friends and not just sex objects. I really love the emotional bits, but the comedy is still pretty solid too. The art is gorgeous at points as well.

This is probably one of my favorite slice of life romance stories.
