Lighthearted and cute! I hate the way same-sex couples are viewed in Japan, it makes me sad.

The first book started out slow but this one really picked up the pace. I found my self hysterically laughing at some points which is something that doesn't happen often. Adachi is the epitome of a useless lesbian making her really relatable. Both Adachi and Shimamura are just the biggest most lovable dorks ever and their chemistry and slightly unhinged banter carries the book

I enjoy this light novel series with its consistent, low rumbling of overarching themes (fate, coming-of-age, queer identity, and platonic love vs. romantic love) -- all while guiding readers through the humdrum of day-to-day high school life. To Adachi and Shimamura, the small things are big and the big things are small. This particular volume pairs peace with anxiety, centered largely around the Christmas season. In all, Adachi and Shimamura kept me engaged but never on the edge of my seat. "Light" novel, indeed.
