TLDR: Loved this volume. It had me laughing a lot.

Longer Review: It is honestly pretty comparable to previous volumes so I do not feel like going into depth. What I will say is that the characters are starting to get really well-developed and I really like the comedic situations that develop. The author does a great job at having the problems be created from the flaws of the main characters. A solid entry.

Spoiler Review:

The first story with the read text is hilarious. Each character follows their expectations and behave in ways that are believable for the characters up to this point. You can somewhat anticipate what will happen, yet I still found it hilarious. The following story with Ino and Ishigami is a bit weaker in my opinion. The story afterwards with Ishigami is better, but a bit more of a setup story than a story. The fourth story about the council preparing for the upcoming tests is perfect though. While they have done this kind of a story already, I feel that I still enjoyed reading how this version plays out. The fifth story has a sleep over with Kaguya and Chika where they call Shirogane to see who he likes. The characters each have their traits play in to cause hilarity to ensue and I really liked the story. Also Hayasaka is awesome. The next two stories with the rap really has her break her facade and confront Kaguya. Maki also cracks me up. She is a little annoying, but I think her stories are always hilarious. The Otaku story was okay, but nothing big. And the last story was somewhat weaker also, but then they had that big stanford reveal at the end. I thought that was a big development that creates tension for the upcoming volumes.
