Still quite awkward between them... :')
They do hang out more, but Shimamura keeps being oblivious and Adachi rarely can form a sentence.
And that one rivalry trope... Nothing new, but rivalry with a kid is a bit of an awkward trope in romances... I mean, I kinda get it, since people are usually really sweet with kids, so it’s easy to get jealous, but... still kinda weird to go as far and call it rivalry, in a romantic way.

I'm confused why the bonus chapters have a different art style + same story as the previous chapter, except with a different perspective and sometimes different places as well. I do prefer the bonus chapter routes, though, as they are usually less awkward.
I did like that one chapter, where Shimamura stopped a mother talking bad about her child behind their back (Shimamura wasn't part of the conversation, but she heard a mom and their friend making negative remarks about the mom's kid's behavior). Some parents don’t realize how toxic they can be, by just saying stuff like that. It was a good message.

I enjoyed this more than the first volume. It digs a bit more into why Adachi is the way she is. I wish we got more of a feel for Shimamura, but maybe it’s coming? This is one of those series where it feels like the crush exists just because they were in the same space at the same time, but isn’t that most high school romances?
