The developments have been really sweet so far, there is thar feeling of something happening with kaguyas family at some point but as of right now I'm enjoying the romantic feels!

4 stars.

They literally watched a porn video lmao... those poor things. It's really exciting how despite Kaguya and Shirogane getting together, the story is still so entertaining and fun. I like that we get to see their dynamic as a couple instead of them getting together at the end of the series and we are seeing the dynamics of the side characters evolve and change as well. I loved seeing Shirogane trying to bond with Ino over poetry. I also loved the bonus story with the board game club and "making babies". This series is too silly

This volume marks a new shift in the story. I am assuming the person reading this has already read the previous volumes, so what I am about to say is fine. We reach a new shift because Kaguya and Shirogane are now dating, Ishigami has his eyes set on making Tsubame confess, and Iino’s moral compass is beginning to skew. All of these developments are such a different change of pace, but it’s still good!

If you do not know: This series follows the members of the student council at an elite school. President Shirogane and Vice-President Kaguya like one another, but neither want to be the one to confess their love first. So, the battle of the brains begins as they try to make the other person confess. Very funny, cute, and at times, moving.

I feel like I don’t have much to say about this volume. It feels like the chapters here are laying down the foundation for future developments and story arcs. However, I will say that I loved the chapters with Maki and Kaguya because Maki is my cinnamon bun child. Also, the very last chapter with the board game club is peak comedy. Such a fun time.

Overall, gave this volume 3.9, but rounding up to 4 stars!
