The drama in this one is for real. Some of its good drama, some bad.

The characters are really undergoing change currently. A few of them aren't meshing well currently because of one or the other's choices.

What's hard about reading this volume is that you, as the reader, are getting some backstory on the characters. But the characters who probably should know this backstory don't. People do begin to talk to each other but it doesn't seem like the right person.

I can tell the story is really picking up here, especially so at the ending. The art style is still being consistent except with the boy's hair (I suppose they are getting haircuts).

I think I got what's up with the art style. The facial structure is too spread apart on Yoshioka. Her nose is either too short or the mouth is too low. I think the eyes are a tad too far apart, too. It's like this on a few other characters too.

The final segment of this volume is a short story that was rushed. I didn't like the romance because I didn't connect with any characters. The boy's hair is also irritating because it isn't shaded enough. I feel like this story could be like a 3 to 5 volume manga if the producer would let them do that.
