It's been a while since I read Vol. 2, but I defintely remember it. Outings always bother me and give me big mad. I usually have no respect for the character that does it. I think the last big one I read was in Simon V homosapien agenda. Hated that so much. Coming out should be reserved for the person that does it and taking that away sucks.

Anywho, we deal with Ryo getting outed by Tsubasa who should have been an ally.

I love what Ryo did by facing his peers and showing that design. I can tell trouble is brewing for them and want only the best for him.

This was definitely a lot better than volume 2. I liked how the author tackled the whole outing situation and added more information of some of the other side characters. I look forward to the last volume.

I enjoy this series the most when it’s centered around Ryo and his friends. The situation with Mizuki and Chika is really interesting. As hard as the school scenes were, the story hits the hardest when it’s dealing with Ryo’s story.

I still hate what Tsubasa did and it’s a bit harmful, IMO, to insert the narrative that outing someone is shitty, but they shouldn’t be ashamed of themselves so it’s forgivable. While I thought the stuff with Tsubasa and his cousin was somewhat interesting, I am confused by Ryo’s (and Jin’s ?) decision to help them in the end. Not that it’s acceptable to demonize someone for needing time to figure out their gender and sexual identity, to be clear. I just don’t get why one of the people they harmed bailed them out.
