This volume was full of Yuki and the student council, Rin and a little Haru. Yuki is still moving forward even though it's difficult for him which is admirable. Rin is still as stubborn as ever and Haru is still sweet. I wish we got to see more of Kyo, hopefully he shows up more in the next volume

Once again, the portrayal of abuse is spot on. 

Rin is afraid of her parents, yet still wants them to love her; she's afraid she'll be too much for the people who do love her, she pushes everybody away... I didn't care about her before, but I really feel for her now.

Rin's scenes with Hatsuharu are really sweet.

I still don't care about the student council, though.

Rin's story...is so sad, but that bit at the end with Yuki was cute.
