“Once, you told me, 'You're like a daytime shooting star,' didn't you? It's a pity that I've never seen a shooting star in the day time, but... I feel like I've started to understand the meaning of it. Because I'm sure that... you're my daytime shooting star.”


Wow, there was so much spiciness in this volume, it made my heart extremely happy. Without spoiling too much, let's just say that we got some really nice confession scenes (more than one!), and I might've teared up just a tad from how much happiness I felt from the sheer sweetness. I really, really loved that scene with the raccoon suit (^.~). The art, while always looking absolutely S tier, was especially impressive this time around. Every character was so gorgeous, and breathtaking.

The extra chapter featuring the one-shot Cookie Girl, Cream Boy was absolutely adorable, and I kinda wish we could've had a whole volume (separate from Daytime Shooting Star) dedicated to them. They're a lot more interesting to read about than some of the other one volume one-shots I've read in the past lolol.

I like the characters but the teacher student relationship gives me the ick.

not only has shishio, a 24-year old grown-up man, feelings for his student, a 15-year old, but he also has the audacity of grabbing mamura by his tie after he called him out. this man is disgusting.

Did Mr. Shishio really say Suzume deserves more than to be easily seduced? I immediately knew that raccoon was Mr. Shishio. I applaud you Mr. Shishio, you finally made your move; why are you making it so hard for me to predict who Suzume's going to be with?

Ahhh this story. I'm currently conflicted because I do not like the story path that it is going down but I know that in the future I will enjoy it. I'm not liking what is happening between Suzume and Mr. Shishio. Mr. Shishio does a lot of contradicting actions which annoy me as a reader. If I were to put myself in Suzume's shoes I would be so confused because he treats her like a student somedays, a neighbour he needs to look out for, and someone that he is interested in romantically. I would be so confused if I was her, and Mr. Shishio doesn't give her the space to move on from her feelings so they are stuck in limbo. My favourite character has got to be Mamura, because he constantly calls out Mr. Shishio saying things like, "A teacher has no business seducing his students." I can't wait to see more of him. I didn't like the ending because it's progressing further down the storyline that I'm not enjoying.
On the plus side, this volume contains a chapter which is not a part of Daytime Shooting Star and I really enjoyed it. I would read if it was it's own manga. I would give that chapter 4/5 stars.
