I LOVE festivals in manga, and sports festivals never cease to entertain. This sports festival was no different and loved every second of it! I also adored the chapter where Tanihara talks to Miyamura and things seem to be better between them. While I certainly wouldn't go around saying that people can become friends with their bullies, I still thought this was a nice scene and like the idea of attempting to fix past mistakes. A simple yet powerful scene that made my shriveled-up heart swell with joy. As does pretty much everything about this series, really...

It's still cute, but there's a recurring joke about pretend yelling that's mayyyybe starting to feel annoying.

We get to see how the sports festival plays out in the first half of this volume. It's started, and Hori and Miyamura are on opposite teams. It's super cute seeing them cheering each other on and competing, same as all their friends. I also quite love seeing how much Sengoku hates partaking in this. I love all of the little moments of hilarity throughout it.
After that, we get to see the rivalry between Miyamura and Mizouchi come to fruition. And I absolutely love it. Miyamura shows a bit of their sado-masochistic fetish, and I just... I just love it. I love both that such a thing is included, but also that they're so open about it and there's no shame, even when Miyamura mentions it and then does it at school. There's also the fact that he's clearly doing it more because she loves it, than because he wants to. And I appreciate that.
We get a bit more insight into Miyamura's old rival as well, the guy who bullied him. This series is full of comedy, with some sweet moments, but it also shows the delicate moments of growing and overcoming past hurts. We see that both from Miyamura's side having grown past it, and from Tanihara having done it and trying to be better.
I love this series, unabashed and irrationally, even. I need more of this in my life.
