I really like the development. The author is treating everyone’s experiences and feelings very carefully, giving the characters space to think and grow
I really like Makoto, he’s adorable. And Ayumi’s growth in this was great. Also Sanada and Noshiro’s relationship just keeps getting sweeter

This is so stinking cute. Noshiro is so genuine and sweet. I liked the introduction of Makoto and Ayumi's mini story arc. I think all of the characters are likable despite their flaws and some frustrations I had with them. Like Sanada could be a bit of an asshole sometimes, but I understood why and I like him. They all just feel like they have real struggles and feelings even though they are a bit exaggerated because they are manga characters lol.

A much better volume and Hidemitsu was much less creepy. I really like how the manga was originally a web series and some of the differences are shown at the ends of the volume. I felt sad for Ayumi, as nobody is being honest with her.

I loved this volume as much as the first, if not more.
We were introduced to more characters, and possibly one of my favourites - Morinaga. He's a year younger than both Sanada and Noshiro, whilst he isn't out he isn't shy about the fact he has a huge crush on Noshiro. He's an interesting character as he was a foil for Sanada, he reaaaaaally rubbed him up the wrong way. I wonder why... Whilst it's never explicitly said you can tell there's some sort of chemistry between Noshiro and Sanada.
It was so adorable seeing Noshiro react to someone having a crush on him, it was something he'd never experienced before and you could tell. However, the way he dealt with it was so sweet and understanding.
Comparatively, when Sanada was faced with a girl having a crush on him he wasn't sure how to react and ended up hurting his friend instead because he couldn't fully explain why he didn't like her. It created an awful lot of tension and set up a lot for the final volume (most sad).
There was more talk of how the behaviour of Sanada's classmates wasn't acceptable and they all finally started doing things together. I was relieved to see that there wasn't just character growth in the protagonists but in the general situation.
I can't wait to read the final volume, I do really wish there were more though...

Noshiro is getting closer and closer to figuring out he is gay and having romantic feelings, and I am here for it. He's really sweet and friendly to everyone, and I get the warm fuzzies when he interacts with basically everyone, but especially Sanada.
