This was just a fun little romp of a volume, largely focusing on Komi and Tadano's class preparing for their school's cultural festival (and Komi making a few more friends along the way.) She seems a lot more comfortable in this volume compared to some of the past ones, while Tadano seems to take a bit of a backseat during some of the shenanigans that ensue. It's a lot of fun to keep going with this series~.

Really mixed feelings on this one. The art remains great, as do the social challenges of the characters. It also returned to a more unified plot than the previous volume. At the same time, that plot had a number of digressions that didn't land well scattered throughout.

All that said, Vol. 5 did deliver some moments that I've been waiting to see since the series started, delivering them with quiet emotion and touching sincerity.
