~3-3.5/5

There's a very emotional scene between Aoi and Meguro here, when she sees his scar and gets a real look at him. It should be heartwarming, I guess. Instead, it's too over the top most of the timeā€”all those declarations are too much. Then the humor placed in to lower the seriousness just ruins it all around.

We also get a new revelation of Azusa's family, including a possibly two-faced mother and surprise sister who we've known all along. Honestly, I just don't really care for Azusa. Mitsuru isn't all that great, either.

Meh. Still just okay with this series, very up and down. Kind of more annoying at times than it should be.


A review copy was provided by the publisher, VIZ Media, for an honest review. Thank you so, so much!

Megumu Kobayashi has her work cut out for her while she attempts to convince Aoi Sanada, her boyfirend, that she loves him. This is due to the fact that Aoi has sever burn scars and throughout his life he has been shunned by others because of them and that is why he keeps them hidden and remains distant from people.

Meanwhile, Mitsuru Kobayashi and Azusa Tokugawa have been steadily getting closer, but all of that could come to an abrupt halt as Azusa's world is about to come crashing down around her. Both of her parents have been aught cheating and it is making headlines in the newspaper, threatening to derail her already fragile life.

This volume is cute, I can see why Aoi was in pain due to the way he has been treated in the past; however, I am not sure it was a strong enough reason to explain why he could not touch females. I think Mitsuru and Azusa have a very interesting relationship, but they seem to fit each other very well and I love how no matter how many times Azusa tries to get Mitsuru to let her defend herself he always shows up by her side to back her up.

Love this couple! This is a very intense volume. Things are getting more and more interesting for them as she has now seen whats under Aoi's eye-patch. As well as finding out why he really cannot touch women. Will she except him for who he is? Some other secrets are revealed and the progression of some other relationships are very important to the plot. However, this is not the conclusion by far. Still a few more loose ends to tighten up.

4.0 out of 5 stars

I've said before by I like the Aio and Megu story more than the other so the fact that half the book focused on the other story took away half a star for me. More Aio and Megu please!
