This has got to be some of the strongest character writing I've ever encountered, in any medium. I am honestly so impressed at how Kaguya and Shirogane's characters were explored in these ten chapters, I want to go back and reread these chapters again. It is SO well written and the way their relationship progressed is also very wholesome and so well handled.
This was fantastic. These ten chapters or so were easily the best drama in any manga/anime I've read. Absolutely fantastic. 5/5 is nearly not enough to express how much I love these chapters.

TLDR: It is definitely funny and enjoyable to read, but a bit of a drop off from the previous few volumes.

Spoiler Review:

The volume isn't bad, and the stories are funny, but I just didn't enjoy reading about ice Kaguya as much. It was just a little tough in the opening story because I felt like she was being really mean to Shirogane. The second story with the perfume was pretty funny though. Then the story where Shirogane asks Maki for advice was funny too. Like the second the story opens up with the callback to Shirogane and Ishigami under the tree, but this time it is Maki was just hilarious. The story with the food was pretty funny too. Kaguya trying to get the octopus. Then the callback with the doctor was funny. To see Shirogane break down felt a little over the top, but I feel it really helped to flush out his character a little more. I also like all the cut backs to first year Shirogane.

4 stars.

I really love seeing more of the characters' inner turmoils and why they are the way they are. It was rough seeing Kaguya being so mean and rough with Shirogane though. And seeing Shirogane being so down on himself, plus the reveal of his room.... dude. Their second kiss was very sweet and I like that they are a couple (even though technically neither of them confessed their feelings)
