I love them so much ♡\( ̄▽ ̄)/♡ One of my favorite BL couples that I've come back to over the course of 10 years now !! Onoe is so annoying but in a cute way, and watching Kabu fall for him is so funny.

Mutsumi and Shima reign supreme! She gains her weight back and I guess Igarashi gets some character development. Other 2 dudes still suck.

Mutsumi > Shima > Ah-chan > Every other love interest. I think I hate Igarashi the most.

A BL queen graces us with a shoujo, lol. With a very relatable female lead. This is definitely a manga you shouldn't take too seriously.

A lot of reviews dropped it for fatphobia and
it is brought up in later volumes that these guys (except Mutsumi) only like her now that she's skinny and they need to reevaluate that. I also think it's important to note Serinuma herself doesn't care if she's fat or skinny though iirc she does start to notice how her appearance effects how men treat her. And she does end up with Mutsumi who from vol1 who had no preference on her appearance and just liked her personality.

Waka/Seo and Kashima/Hori were insanely funny in this volume. Probably my favorite so far.

All of the stories in this volume were so good, including the short stories. This is where I start to like Natori a little more, him and Natsume are starting to understand each other more. The first two short stories are some of my favorites.

Hotaru ( ╥ω╥ ) Midorikawa has a thing for sad romances and fireflies.

I don't care much for Natori but I like that his presence makes Natsume think about human-yokai relationships.

Did I tear up like 3 times while reading this? Yes. I've read the manga and watched the anime countless times and it still tugs at my heartstrings (╥﹏╥) Natsume Yuujinchou stories are always sweet and sad.

(Unrelated but it was really funny to see all the old 2005-2010 manga being advertised in the back. I'm old now.)
