Chapter 48 was so sweet. Other than that, I felt like Seiya’s lecture went on way too long, and I don’t like the reasoning Kaito gave for Kensuke’s homophobia (while I’m sure this happens, it also perpetuates the narrative of queer folks being pedophiles and sexual predators). Shingo’s arguments also are arguments that bigots make to perpetuate their toxic perspectives that put marginalized folks in danger, so I don’t agree, and I worry about putting these words out there for young folks to read. Also, it is clear that the solution is polyamory or relationship anarchy, but I doubt that’s the way the story is going…

Still a solid five. No reason to give it less than that.

pain!
probably the heaviest volume so far and i feel a little conflicted about how much was packed into these chapters. feels wrong to give this any less than 4 stars though so
that entire conversation with shingo, kensuke, and the two other girls was A Lot. i think it could've been executed better given the topics discussed. while i sympathize with what kensuke went through, i still think many of the things he was saying were just...Not It.

i think the girlies should’ve been meaner to kensuke, actually :) like, yeah, trauma makes u do stupid shit sometimes and i liked the decision to have him still be willing to make things better, but like, he was absolutely in the wrong for starting the fight. let them chew him out some more, i say! also, i wish some of the bioessentialist ideas in that chapter had been addressed, especially given how long that whole conversation was… everything else was just as emotional and lovely as the rest of the volumes though.
