Got me out of a shitty mood, would recommend.

Also it's kinda structured like a HIMYM episode. It's a lot more romcom-y and a lot less manga-y than previous chaptes if that makes sense. Relationships advance and degrade and a lot more depth is given to the exploration of the connections between the different characters and what it's like to date in Japan.

4 stars.

They are dating!! I loved seeing Shirogane and Kaguya have their first official date and that Kaguya confessed first. I also liked that Shirogane's dad was giving Tsubame advice and his words about true love were used during their scenes.

After this volume, I really hope that Ishigami and Tsubame don't get together. It sucks that she rejected his confession but I'm glad that Ishigami didn't go through with having sex with her. I had a feeling for several volumes that Ino was starting to like Ishigami. I wonder when she will clue in about her feelings and I wonder if Ishigami will get over Tsubame and fall for Ino. (Also I love that Ino's friend with the glasses is so confident and cool and knows that she is the shit)

I still love the noodles chapters with Chika and the men of the noodle world.
