This volume contains Riiko's confession (finally) and I am sooooooooooooooooooo happy with the result! <3

There are some really hilarious scenes in this issue - I especially love mini Night - he is the most adorable thing in the world!!! I also found the whole nurse figure and Soshi skits HILARIOUS!

Absolute Boyfriend is fantastic fluffy shojo fun which doesn't take itself too seriously. The artwork is wonderful and the twists and turns throughout keep me hooked! A must read for any shojo manga fan!

When I bought this volume in the series, the first thing I thought was "WTF"-there is a little Tom Thumb-like person sitting in a tea cup on this cover ?! Then I read it and I thought "WTF"-there really was a little Tom Thumb-like person in this story... but he is an android and he sat in between her breasts (naked) instead of in a tea cup!!

It really just keeps getting weirder!

Night as a figurine is so cute and funny💖

Satori borrowing Little Night was interesting. She’s dealing with so much pain and self-esteem issues because of her scars and it made me smile when he cheered her up and advised her to look at things differently. 

Riiko is willing to let go of Night just to save him. Aww, that’s so sweet💕

Whoa! That nurse figure was intense😫

Wah! Riiko finally chose between Night and Soshi.💖

Omg omg omg, Night destroyed the ring😱

Oh no, there’s another version of Night🥲

Wow, Riiko and Night forever💕 Even Soshi supports them🔥

Mini-boyfriend rights.

This was so cute. I don't like the general direction of the series as it's closing, but I love the mini-character arch so much.

I picked up this book because I wanted to get this series over and done with and unhaul them because I am starting to like this series less and less. The good thing is that this volume was not as bad as the last volume. It was still problematic, but it was easy to get through and partially enjoyable. However, I would still no recommend this series because of it's problematic nature with consent that's constantly an issue within the series. It's probably an issue in every single book in this series. Sure it is fun and easy to read, some of the time, but the enjoyment that I get out of this series is not enough to outweigh how problematic I find it to be. I'm only carrying on with the series so I know what happens, and then I won't think about it again.

I just can't with this series. I want Riiko to pick Soushi because he is the sensible choice, but I also want her to pick Night because their love seems real. AAAAHHH!!!
