~4.5-5/5
(Contains some spoilers.)
I don't think I could love this series any more than I do.
There's still the ongoing drama between the triangle—Yuki, Tooru, and Kouno. Tooru is still rather oblivious, even though Miyamura has hinted. Kouno starts worrying about giving Tooru baked goods. Yuki, on the other, has ended up with her own admirer in the form of a super cute classmate. It looks like the new guy might be sticking around, and he's super sweet and clutzy; I'm a fan.
Then the school sports festival is coming up, and there are two main teams. It starts getting a little competitive, and everyone is working hard to do their best, even in sports they don't like.
Of course, I love all of the humorous moments amongst all of this. This series is hilarious. The sweet moments between Hori and Miyamura, though, get me just as good. There's a cute moment of jealousy between them. In a surprising development, we find out that Hori likes seeing Miyamura get angry, and she wants him to yell at her. This is funny from an outsider perspective, and Miyamura is trying to do it for her, because Hori loves it and begs for it. Miyamura feels bad and weird, though. It's also comedic given that Hori is significantly more scary than Miyamura is; he's also always been very careful around her. I really appreciate the casual introduction of a consensual kink, especially with a couple that hasn't gotten too intimate, and with no shame or worry involved.
I absolutely love this series, and cannot get enough.

This volume was better than the last but it’s lost some of its charm along the way which is a shame :( I think this is mainly because Hori-san demands Miyamura to be violent towards her which I really do not get! I don’t think it’s funny or cute (especially when she’s telling him to slap her) and she is insanely jealous of any girl who so much as looks at Miyamura which is ridiculous!
But I am enjoying the exploration of Yuki, Tooru and Kouna’s characters - they are a great secondary cast and I’m falling head over heels in love with them <3

What a let down from volumes 1-5. I can’t get over the violence fixation and jealousy tropes for Hori, and the new vignette pacing doesn’t hold me interested. Just annoyed!

This volume gives more time to the secondary characters, and it's kind of great. Like the whole love square (triangle isn't even sufficient) between Yanagi, Yuki, Tooru and Sakura, especially Tooru because he's dumb and I love him. In other media, I might consider such a plot-line pointless drama, but here it's all so wholesome and funny, in part because they're all friends. Another unexpected bonus: Sakura being traumatised by Remi and Sengoku's lack of cooking skills. Hilarious!
The whole arc about Hori wanting Miyamura to be, in a word, abusive to her... confuses me. That's basically a kink, isn't it? It would be less weird if they were older, but seeing it play out with teenaged characters is a bit uncomfortable.

It's scarily accurate how this volume shows what boyfriends have to navigate when it comes to their girlfriends.
