I don't think I have ever met a more relate-able character than Chiaki. His struggle with his feelings in this volume in particular—I get him so much.
The boys argue and confront and fight in this volume, as Chiaki's feelings start to be as realized as Riku's. And because of their confrontations, Ten is starting to develop and realize her own feelings in regards to them. As she gets to know both of them better, she has to rethink her own thoughts about them.
This series has already gone back and forth between each character so much that even I don't know which one I prefer for Ten. I don't know which one should get the happy ending with the girl. I just want all of them to have a happy ending, I think. Though particularly Chiaki. I just love Chiaki the most, honestly.


A review copy was provided by the publisher, VIZ Media, for an honest review. Thank you so, so much!

Okay hold up now I don't know who to root for!! Chiaki's inner monologue really made me like him.

OMG! What a turn this took. I didn't expect it to move in this direction? but I'm excited to read more!!

Even as an avid reader, I find Chiaki's obsession with books and quotations really annoying. You aren't as deep as you think you are, bro. I liked the beach scenes and I do understand that this is a love triangle (love square?) story, but I don't really care about any of the characters enough to get invested. One thing I did find really interesting is that one of the household in their shared dorm gets a cold and they all wore masks without making a fuss. Imagine!
