I'm not gonna lie, I'm pretty disappointed and frustrated with this volume. Long story short, Ten has come to the realization that she likes Riku, Chiaki confessed to Riku that he likes Ten, and Riku's being an asshole to Chiaki now that he knows about Chiaki's feelings.

There are two problems that I have with this whole mess. First of all, Ten and Riku, in my opinion, have little chemistry. I truly believe she has more chemistry with Rei (we'll get to him in a bit) and Chiaki, but maybe that's me. I'm not saying she's wrong for feeling this way, but considering she mentions to Chiaki that the thing she liked about her first crush was that she felt comfortable around him and she constantly mentions how she "doesn't know how to act around Riku," makes her realization hard to swallow.

The second problem I have is that Riku starts acting like a childish asshole to Chiaki when they're supposed to be friends. You're telling me that just because your friend likes the same girl as you that you automatically can't be friends anymore? And it is truly automatic; Chiaki confesses to him and Riku immediately starts yelling at him all the time and butting into his time with Ten out of jealousy. Seriously, if I had read this volume before the previous three, I wouldn't have thought they were friends. It hurts even more considering how supportive Chiaki had and continues to be toward Riku but Riku treats him like garbage. I hate this trope, I don't care that they're teenagers, it pisses me off and ruins Riku's character.

However, moving to the positive of this volume, I got to see my boy (and best boy) Rei and I love him. I think his interactions with Ten are hilarious and he's easily the most expressive character next to Ten. I love how vindictive and childish he is towards Ten and how Ten does not put with his shit, even a little bit. I would be so okay if they ended up together, but I can just tell they won't. Such a shame, I love my boy so much!

Those are my thoughts, so it was so negative, but I had a lot of problems with this volume. I will still continue with the series because I'm still enjoying it, but this has soured it a bit.
