This volume is an excellent continuation of the story in three mini arcs that reveal more about our beloved main couple. The first story arc both gives us some background on Kaburagi as well as introduce to us someone from his past (who has a lot of potential to be a fun recurring character and definitely doesn't show up in the series enough!). The second story arc in this volume lets us see how the two leads work together as partners at their job, their different strengths, and how they compliment each other both as coworkers and romantic partners. The final story arc really drives this home with a great plot about Onoe trying to do Kaburagi's type of "dirty" work (ie. lying and deceiving people for a scoop) and how that affects Kaburagi, and reveals how Kaburagi feels about Onoe who is very different from him personality-wise. I really enjoyed this one in particular as I think Onoe often ends up as the butt of many jokes but here, you see just how competent he actually is at this job and how much his boss appreciates him. Overall, this is a great follow up to the first volume that reveals more about each character and just why they make a good couple, while also keeping the comedy and sweet moments from the previous volume.

I like the relationship between them but I had no idea where was this volume going. It all felt like just a bunch of random little stories with them and I feel like I don't like them enough to continue this series.

Loved this volume. I can see why the author intended it to be the last, but I'm also really happy there's more. I was a bit iffy, in Volume 1 about it being insta-love, but I love the struggles they go through as they continue hanging out and learning about each other.
