There was some stuff I was uncomfortable with in this book, and I might drop the series. That being said it was amazingly written and drawn. I don't know if I actually like this as a series or if I just am a sucker for media that acknowledges that women/teen girls aren't sexless.
I was getting suspicious feelings about Sugawara's backstory, and yeah, those feelings were correct. Though, they were dealt with in a way I wasn't expecting. I like Izumi even more from how he interacted with Sugawara, and he really is dense, oh my. XD
The misunderstandings hurt so much thoughhhh, ahhhh. But it's accurate to what happens in teenage romance, painfully so.

Aquest volum no m'ha agradat tant perquè he patit per la poca autoestima de la Kazusa, com es menja el tarro amb angoixes i inseguretats, pobreta. Podríem dir que el drama va fent xup-xup, l'argument va in crescendo i acabarà petant esquitxant-ho tot ben aviat...

I have a LOT of thoughts about this volume, but I'm struggling to put them all together, so I'm going to do bullet points instead. Cool? Cool.
-As much as I can relate to Kazusa and am thrilled by her character continuity, I feel like all she did this volume was talk to Sudo, fuss about her emotions, and blush. A LOT. I mean, there was a SHIT TON of blushing on her part. She's still a good character and I think young people will definitely be able to relate to her, but she didn't really get a chance to shine this volume. Although I did like the scene where she and Izumi get to have a normal conversation, I feel like all the fussing paid off to a degree.
-Sonezaki is probably my favorite character and I love her slow character growth. I also like how Jujo is trying to approach her. I love me a "serious, smart student" becoming friends with the more "outgoing, friendly" type. I also like how Jujo is super chill around her and is just being herself, it shows how comfortable she is around Sonezaki. Also, can I just say, I am SO DAMN HAPPY with Sonezaki's decision at the end of the volume. You go, girl!
-Sudo is an interesting character and one that I feel like can be easily overlooked. She tries to be there for Kazusa, like Sugawara is, but she's true to herself, knows her limits, and is down to earth. I was thrilled to see her honest reaction to Sugimoto's messages. What a phenomenal asshole he is. I'm curious to see where her character is going, but I really like her and I think this volume let her quietly shine.
-Hongo is still awesome, but what she's doing with Milo-sensei definitely concerns me. I'm worried about both of their futures, but I'm also glad that Hongo is learning her boundaries. It's one thing for a character to have a single-minded goal and pursue it, it's another for a character to have a single-minded goal, WANT to pursue no matter what, but is stopped by boundaries they may not have known they had. She's a great character and I do like her, I just don't want anything bad to happen.
-Sugawara...uhhhhh...honestly, I'm kind of losing interest in this character. Her backstory was interesting (what the actual FUCK was up with her director, though?!) but I feel like her character is stuck being what it is. Yes, her talk with Izumi was nice and maybe she'll start moving on, but as of right now she's kind of bland. Maybe that's just me, who knows.
That concludes my scattered thoughts regarding this volume. It was a good volume, but some things brought it down a bit. Still loving this series though, can't wait for volume 4!

I have really grown to like this series and this was a good addition to the first 2 volumes. However, the teacher student relationship is starting to develop in a way that is sooo inappropriate and it makes me unsure if I want to read the following volumes. Literally thought in the past volumes that the teacher was being a responsible adult by shutting down the girl's(forgot her name sorry)advances after finding out she was a minor. With this volume, it seems like he's now encouraging it, but in ways that won't get him in trouble, which is so disgusting and wrong. I was actually horrified when I got to that section toward the end because I thought this series wasn't going in that direction. I still might read the 4th volume and hope that there's a difference with the way they tell that plotline. If it's worse, I will drop the series altogether.
