This is another really good volume, but I am slightly irritated at how long the question of whether the LDR can continue, whether they can each want jobs in locations close enough to each other for their relationship to survive. My only worry now is that I don’t know if/when more of this series will be available!

The shopping for chocolates was cute! I love watching the other 2 love stories unfold of Nebuko’s coworkers. But agh that ending I’m stressed

The 19th volume of A Side Character's Love Story by Akane Tamura doesn't feature Hiroki very much, and even Nobuko really does feel like a side character at times. There's so much focus in this volume on her new friends, and Hiroki and Nobuko don't even see each other... which isn't necessarily bad, but they also don't interact very much, and I do miss that.

Hopefully the next volume will remember to spend a little time with the two of them, even if it means they have to have one of their discussions...

In the meantime, Nobuko's new friends/coworkers have their own love stories going on, with different problems and different needs, and they're fun to read about too.
