This volume is comprised of 5 chapters. Three mostly dedicated to Aoki and Ida, and two dedicated to Aida and Hashimoto, or should I say Sumo Hashi? 😹 And both relationships make a little progress. Baby steps.
This is the volume I've seen Ida laugh/smile the most, and Aida get flustered the most (didn't he ever before? 🤔).
The humour is more on the light side this time, just using the character's dramatical and oddball (I'm looking at you, Aida) personalities. Aruko's art doesn't disappoint during gags! 😹
Hashimoto and Aoki are still each other's biggest supporters. I live for their friendship, as you all know!
And I think I haven't mentioned how much Aoki's candor is refreshing! Most BL is full of denial about true feelings from characters similar to him, but he's open and in tune with his emotions.
Kudos to the volleyball club for being such considerate chill guys, and Shun being the MVP in guiding dense and emotionally stunted Ida 👌

Me: W-why does she draw dogs so well?

Speaking off, that's one gag I could live without: Mametaro always bitting nobody but Aoki.

This story is so cute and I adore the characters!
This volume did make me a little bit frustrated because they are so oblivious but they are cute so I can see past it!
3.5/5 stars!

This volume was so cute! We get to see a little spat that the two main characters have and we also get Christmas time! I love Christmas time in manga, especially romance manga, it's just so cute. This was a great volume, I think the relationship between the two guys progressed nicely. Overall, I enjoyed it and I can't wait for volume 5!
