I don’t read books like that but I find the idea of a cafe in the middle of nowhere, where you go when you don’t know what to do with life, quite interesting and amusing.

Woah, I really didn't think we would get the confession in this volume! Thought it's gonna end in a cliffhanger, as usual. Although we still got a cliffhanger, but not about the confession.

What's up with that girl though? Leaves the band and then gets jealous over the person, who replaced her? :')

Also, huge respect to Mizuguchi! Has loved Yori for so long, has been hurt all the time probably, yet is incredibly supportive. Even having confessed to Himari about her feelings, she still sets them up for a date. Seriously, without her, they might've not become that close.
I hope Mizu gets her happy end too.

Gosh, Shiho is so annoying...

I did love the "first date" though and that they talked about their misunderstandings afterwards. Healthy relationship ftw!

I believe Shiho will come around Yori at some point though, since she's already more or less friends with Himari. Don't really like the game she's playing, but it probably won't last that long. I have good faith in this manga series and the author!

Aww, I really loved the date at the summer festival with the fireworks!
No manga can be complete without a firework, huh? XD

So glad Himari & Yori could talk through their feelings. Especially Yori, who I related to the most.

Shiho continues being a jerk, but at least she didn't have as much "screen"-time as in the previous volume.

Oof.
Hime, the protagonist, is really annoying. I totally get why her “Schwester” hates her, I would too! Especially because she’s so fake. Although I kinda do get her motives, and who wouldn’t want to marry someone rich... but nevertheless, I hate fake people so much. Having them as a protagonist makes the read pretty difficult at times.

As much as I dislike her, it is throwing me off how much pressure the others putting on her. First of all, Hime didn’t choose this job, she was pretty much forced to do it. (Which is karma and I don’t mind.) However, she’s never done this and secondly, it’s a cafe in another language. Well, the theme is at least. With dishes being in a language someone doesn’t understand, that’s hard. They could at least be more understanding regarding that and especially give her maybe a list of all the dishes that are served there? How should someone write down an order of a dish name they’ve never heard of?

What I also really hated was the sister-bond thing.
I don’t know why people love sexualizing & romanticizing siblings, mostly sisters, but it’s so annoying. Japan or probably Asia in general has a serious problem with that.
Not saying it doesn’t happen in other continents too, but the fact that this is one of the most popular tropes in anime & manga, does say a lot.
Look, if the characters genuinely like each other (platonically), I wouldn’t mind. But forcing it on people? Nah, man, not with me.

At last, the ages of the human characters have been revealed and I'm very glad they're not in elementary school... but they do look like it, so it makes reading the romance parts pretty difficult. For some reason, the main characters and their friends are the only ones looking so young, whereas everyone else in their class looks older. Fan-service again? But to think you have to make your characters look younger than their already young age, just to gain a larger audience, is very gross.

Aside from that, the supernatural aspect keeps being interesting. Wish the author would just cut the unnecessary romance and focus more on the paranormal.
But hey, at least there was a BL couple shortly, which was pretty cool. <3

Also, I'm starting to ship the exorcist brothers with Hanako-kun... worst mistake ever, when it's so obvious who will and won't come canon.

The romance still throws me off and the way how young the protagonist looks... but there were lots of good things here too.

For one, library mystery!

1) How many more times will the author mention how “fat” Nene’s legs are? Worst thing about this is that they aren’t even fat.

2) Hanako keeps treating Nene disrespectfully and like an object. How do people ship this.

Spoiler

3) Nene should’ve gone with the mermaid/fishes.

4) That fish didn’t deserve to die.

5) the new character, who killed the fish, is pretty annoying.

6) I was right with one of my theories.

7) Mitsuba’s story is pretty sad, but also very realistic, which probably is the reason it makes it so sad. I hope he’ll at least be mentioned in future episodes.

8) I really loved the friendship of Mitsuba and Kou.
