Though I do like the side stories, I feel like they are taking over the main one. But, at least the love triangle has grown pretty strong.

It’s been a few months since I last read a volume of Strobe Edge, and it reminded me how much I enjoy this series. This series is adorable, and hilarious, and cute, and sweet, and thoughtful, all at the same time. Moving from one to the other seamlessly, and I love it. I was grinning and laughing the entire time while reading this volume, it’s so freakin’ good.
Ninako and Ren’s relationship is still simmering. Neither of them thinking the other feels the same, but hanging out and talking mostly normally. There’s a lot of looks exchanged, though, and Ninako’s feelings are really starting to bubble over. I’m excited to see when they finally tell each other, and who does it first. I’m betting on Ninako, but Ren finally being upfront about it would be a nice change (and I do think he’s getting there).
I am really surprised by how much I’m liking Ren. Ando wasn’t in this volume much, and Ren might even be moving ahead in my mind. Ren is really maturing, and it’s really showing in how he’s reacting after the breakup.
There was also a lot of drama between Sayuri and Daiki in this volume. I wasn’t expecting it, and it was a bit angsty at one point, but it turned out really well. Those two are seriously adorable together. Daiki gets so happy when he sees her, it’s so sweet. I love them, seriously. And it seems like we might get to see some of the other minor-ish characters getting attention next, and I’m looking forward to that. Also, some real drama for Ren and Ninako (and probably Ando), oooh.
This is probably one of my favorite series at this point, especially given how happy I get while reading it. I’m seriously loving it, and am really, really excited to get the next volumes.

honestly i'm kind of digging the slow simmer ninako and ren are experiencing feelingswise right now, i think it's good for them to have time to figure out what they want before they start dating. might have helped yu and sayuri if yu had done the same and taken a few minutes to figure out what he wanted from his relationship versus what he thought he was 'supposed' to want

"Ultimately, I'm not doing this out of consideration for Ren's feelings. It's because I'm not brave enough to let go."
If there's one thing I love about Ninako, it's how she admits to herself when she's not being noble with her feelings. I see her as a very good girl and she wants to be a good girl. But sometimes, the things we do that others might consider good is just a way for us to protect ourself and she calls herself out for doing that (when she realizes it lol. It's a different story when she doesn't). She's just a good girl with feelings.
"You're not the only one who changed. And it's not like I stopped caring about you. Some breakups just happen this way."
I love Tsukasa and Manabu haha.
I loved the extra story, Wishing for Yesterday.
"I don't want to dream about it. I want to go back. Just one day. I want to go back to yesterday. Back to that time. But no matter what I do, every day when I wake up, it's today."

Nice installment, but I wish things would move a little faster. The bonus story was especially good.
