Would have given it a higher rating but some of the maid cafe stuff made me uncomfortable, but Komi thinking Tadano is cute in his get up was honestly adorable and them dancing *chefs kiss*.

Really enjoyed this volume! I love Onemine and her wingman work for Komi and Tadano. The dance at the end was really cute too. 

Points off for Yamai, as usual.

This was an incredibly disappointing installment for me & I'm not sure I'll continue on with the series after this - which sucks because I genuinely really liked the original premise and I feel like this just completely strayed from it?  

I think I might just watch the anime and see if that gets better because honestly all the sexualization of minors (specifically Komi) was a lot and I'm just so incredibly uncomfortable. Like I vaguely remember a few "huh? wut?" moments in the last volume but this was just so in your face. 

Like maybe this is more of a 3 star but honestly im just so dissapointed I struggle to justify even that so 2 stars it is and I hate it here. They say go to hell but you just rated a volume in a manga series you genuinely loved and felt represented by 2 stars so I'm already there.....
