Love the new puppy. It’s so precious! I love his name, too!

The horse stuff is really cool. Reminds me of my horse phase lol. It was depicted quite well!!

Ahhh this author’s sense of humor is so fun. I always enjoy reading her stuff because it has the best combination of storytelling, comic relief, and emotions.

It’s campus cleanup time again and Hachiken finds a puppy in the trash heap! After cleaning him off, the pup becomes the unofficial mascot and guide dog for the equation club, “Vice Prez.” Later, the students go see the baseball team compete and cheer on Komaba’s pitching. Then, it’s time to plan for the Ag Festival, and the equestrian team wants to do something to showcase how cool horses are. Hachiken can’t get his horse, Chestnut, to jump, even though other riders can. He must learn a valuable lesson about himself as a rider. While he trying to get the equestrian event up and running, he overcommits to other groups’ festival offerings. The man who won’t say no must learn, or he’ll never get in the practice with Chestnut that he needs to become a great jumper!

This volume has some valuable lessons about over committing oneself. It’s easy to do when you want to help everyone, or if you feel passionate about all of the undertakings, but there aren’t enough hours in the day sometimes! Hachiken is learning a lot about agriculture, but he's learning even more about himself.
