Relationship growing pains! Really cute and I liked seeing the characters work through the newest wrinkle in their relationship. Felt like natural progression. I do think that Hijiri is kinda the flawless/uncomplicated one in the couple.
The Towel Incident is both understandable how a little thing builds up alongside bigger, 'actual' problems, and then is the minor inconvenience that blows everything out of proportion, but also...Koyori has a continuing flaw of not communicating, and though each volume always ties up its conflict, the communication issue is one that keeps coming up. Even though she makes up her mind to do better, it's the fallback choice for plot drama. Realistic, maybe, but getting a bit tired here. But Hijiri hasn't really had a flaw since...Volume 2? Whenever it was that they went on their spa trip. I'd like to see him have some more depth too.
All that said, it's still a fun, enjoyable series. It's cute, the intimate scenes are drawn well, and I like the side characters.
