This one was my least favourite so far. As mentioned the whole 30-year-old turning into a 15-year-old is already weird enough so now the fact that this 31-year-old is now dating a 15-year-old and seemingly taking it serious is really weird to me.
I know Japanese culture is very different from American culture but I couldn’t help that being in the back of my mind.
She knows that she’s a 31-year-old adult and she still excepted the proposal of a 15 year old to go out on a date. I just can’t… and although I know it’s not gonna go anywhere it’s still a little weird for me.

A solid volume, but not the best
This volume focused on the love triangle Chikage is in as an adult. It was an important storyline since much from her past was revealed, but at times, the art was awkward, and Chikage's insecurity is borderline psychotic. I find I enjoy her more as Akari. This is probably by design. After all, if Chikage wasn't so pathetic, there wouldn't be a need to turn her into Akari. However, I have to wonder if the mangaka, Tanemura, doesn't think much of Chikage either. She doesn't draw her as well as she does Akari. In addition, the story drags whenever it focuses on Chikage. I'm having a hard time seeing them as the same person. As Chikage grows from her experiences as Akari, I hope that she becomes a more likable heroine. At this point in the story, she's still a neurotic mess.

An amusing trifle. Although the fact that the 31-year old main character isn't disturbed by the fact that she just accepted to be the girlfriend of a high school boy whilst she's in her 15-year old magic body is...messed up. And probably the best part of this series, although I doubt anything will come of it.
Again, this series was on display at the library, so I decided to read volumes 1 - 5.
Well, this volume was more entertaining, but the men/boys in this story are way too aggressive. I thought Haru was cool, but then he came with some foolishness. "Yeah, I lied about us having a friendly get together with another friend. I have you all alone in my apartment, so you can see me as a man/romantically." NO THANKS, HARU!
Also, we've have reached a point where a 31-year-old woman (who has taken a magical potion to become 15 years old again) is seriously dating another 15-year-old.
At some point, you have to say that's wrong. If not morally at least emotionally, you're playing with someone's heart and portraying yourself as someone else.

I think Imma hurt myself if she doesn't end up with Tokita. Also, I really don't think she can or should end up with one of the young boys (as cute as they are) because she can't always be 15 and isn't that sort of like stealing their youth and first love? I don't know, this series is kind of awkward for me. Plus, I feel like we really need to learn a lot more about Hina (Tokita's girlfriend!?) - she seems suspicious (or a great future plot twist).
