“If the heir of the Takaba group were involved with a high school student… it would be a huge scandal” (pg 68).

I’m surprised the author addresses the age difference issue wholeheartedly and constantly. I love Hana. She never fails to roast Takane to smithereens and doesn’t drop everything at the drop of a hat to hang out with him. Takane’s not a wimp either and is so ridiculous that it’s charming. In this volume, we meet one of Takane’s few friends even though they had a falling out.
