It was so nice to learn more about some of the characters and scenes from the manga. These boys are so sweet!! I found myself giggling at all the squishiness, and the illustrations were a nice addition. I can’t wait for the second volume to come out! My only complaint is that some of the dialogue seemed a bit clunky when translated to English.

SO CUTE!
This is a collection of stories following the Sasaki to Miyano boys. You get to see different perspectives of familiar situations and it also gives more detail of things that were mentioned in passing specifically the fight that got Sasaki and Miyano together.
1. Kuresawa & his girlfriend - shows them meeting and the argument that they had that caused Kuresawa to get snappy at someone, which caused the fight. I'm pretty sure this is the longest chapter. While not my favorite of all the stories, I did like learning more about Kuresawa and his girlfriend.
2. Kuresawa & Miyano - Miyano's perspective of the fight and how he and Kuresawa became friends. Originally I was confused why Miyano said "a student" is getting beat up when he was reporting the fight because he and Kuresawa were friends, but they didn't become friends until after the fight, which makes sense.
3. Hirano & Miyano - This one's my favorite!! It's about how they became the friends they are now. It was so cute!! I love the way Hirano just listens to Miyano even though he doesn't know what the fuck he's talking about. He said, if you have something to say just say it and I'll listen. I love them!!!
4. Tashiro & the Captain - This one was my least favorite, mostly because I was confused. But this is about Tashiro trying to quit the table tennis team, but he has to beat the captain if he wants to quit so he ditches practice to go to a bathhouse to play some older men who were some sort of tennis champions. There's some Hanzawa in this too since he's on the table tennis team. The captain before Hanzawa is cute, but he graduates in this light novel so I doubt he'll show up in the main series.
5. Sasaki & Miyano - this is Sasaki's perspective of their little bookstore trip and it's so cute. I love seeing more of Sasaki's thoughts and feelings towards Miyano.
6. Hirano & Kagiura - heehee Kagiura brings up how embarrassing the nickname is, but that it feels special because Hirano is the only one that calls him that. Also the pocky game!! What is up with all these boys and the pocky game.
7. Tashiro's Worry - Tashiro's perspective of why he asks Miyano if he and Sasaki are dating. This was cute because he was mainly worried that Miyano was getting bullied, but then he's like no? What if they're dating?
8. Sasaki - Loveddd seeing this perspective of Sasaki! He just seemed so different, but not in he's not the same person kind of way, but he clearly shows a different side of himself to Miyano. This was a reallyyy short chapter, but basically Sasaki isn't sure about his purpose in life and wishes he had motivations and passions, but he doesn't. It also features his calico hair.
9. Sasaki & Hirano - This follows the two in their first year and how they became friends. :)
I loved that it was mostly moments from the main series just further explained. The continuity was just so sexy. Plus I love that I got to experience different sides of all these characters. Especially Sasaki. I feel like you get more of a feel of his personality. This was great.
