• for the most part, this is another cute, fun, and charming addition to the series
• the one thing that I'm disappointed by is that it looks like Komi and Tadano have feelings for one another - this doesn't surprise me by any means, however, I was hoping that wouldn't be the direction that the series went in

Did I enjoy this book?: Yes
This manga continues to be very entertaining and is perfect for those looking for a casual read. This book continues to be a chaotic whirlpool, the more characters you meet the more absurd this book becomes.
If you're looking for a book with action and some thrill this is not the book for you. This is something for those looking for a YA read, and want something they can cosy up to and smile at.
I really enjoy the development that Komi makes through out this story. She seems to be a little more out of her shell. I really enjoy how this book approaches anxiety is a funny and crazy light. I feel I can often relate to the feelings that Komi has as I have anxiety.
If I could describe this book in 3 words, they would be: funny, sweet, chaotic.

This volume is written in more short chapters, but, unlike volume two, all of them basically go together one after the other. After Najimi, Komi, and Tadano study a bit in the library for their final exams, it’s summer vacation! Najimi invites the gang to go swimming at the city pool, and it turns out “gang” is much bigger than Komi thought. Nevertheless, she has a lot of fun until she scrapes her knee and has to sit out. But, ever conscientious Najimi buys water guns so they can play outside the pool and still include Komi. Next, Najimi invites everyone to a Summer Festival, and most agree Komi is still adorable in her yukata (summer kimono).
There are some inappropriate jokes in this one, especially with girls in their swim suits, and Yamai is still obsessed with Komi and tries to trick her into do things that are slightly sexual. The art panels are mostly 4 to a page, which can get monotonous in terms of storytelling. The series continues to incorporate small references to Najimi's nonbinary nature. Some times, the characters support Najimi in their being nonbinary, but other characters are insensitive and not accepting. This reads rather more like a reflection of Japanese society and their non-acceptance, and the mangaka uses these instances to subtly show the flaws with this type of thinking.
