Oh man, this volume got me legitimately tearing up and experiencing all of the feelings. I knew we'd eventually see

Itsuomi finally meeting Yuki's parents but it was handled so well and was so emotional

.

I want to know the reason behind Itsuomi's tattoo so bad now, haha

. It was also great seeing

Emma and Shin moving forward with things, opening up, and talking some things out

. Now we just need some healthy progress for Oushi, haha.

Another great series edition. I'm shocked at how much we get to see in terms of relationship and character development in this book, but I feel like it's for the better. The series could have the potential to get stale or be stuck in a loop, however I think this book really pushes forward and has eased my worries that the series might 'slow' down. I am very interested in the subplot between background characters, but it's making me happy to see other characters get some spotlight moments too. Finally, despite all that, I hate Emma LMFAO she's almost more annoying than Oushi and I almost wish they could get together or something and just ride off into the annoying sunset together :)
