-me fighting for my life tryna to figure out how much time has passed in this series in general when Chiba mentions Taichi has been working at Sign-N for 3 years (Kohei was confirmed 22 though which means Taichi is the same that helped)
- Kohei being toxic, pushy, and possessive right off the bat?? 😭 Kohei confirmed 6 ft tall  in canon drop Taichi's height so I know fs what degree of gross hight difference couple they are
-me @ all of the drama with the ex-girlfriend and the circuitous apologizing serving me a full course meal of miscommunication trope I did not order like put Chiba back on the page i'm tryna SEE that beautiful man 
-Chiba father of the year confirmed 28 yrs old 😏
-Kohei is so horny i stg calm down like Taichi continues to give demi vibes 👀 and yes i read the afterward in Limit V3 yes Im bringing a "I pretend I do not see it" type beat to it

urgh... back in miscommunication hell... the story should have ended in the last volume or made this volume about taichi getting more comfortable with kohei's affection. i don't like this volume.

about adding taichi's absent parents in, LET THE BOYS REST. THE LAST CHAPTER WAS CUTE and i was going to bump my review up solely because of it. ughhhhhhhh. stop drawgging it out. no more drama too much drfama adn i fucking hate it...

The thing that continues to bother me the most is Taichi’s internalized homophobia. The side stories at the end were also cute peeks into other characters and plots.

I still really like the series but this volume had some side character stories I was less invested in. Some very good moments throughout despite this.
