Noshiro is so innocent to the point that he is often oblivious to the feelings/cues from those around him. He often says things he probably shouldn't say but doesn't realize how it sounds or comes off to others. He seems almost too innocent for an 11th-grader.

This is the start of such a heartwarming story about a teenage boy learning to understand the differences in others around him, particularly his gay classmate who often sits alone because of the rumor that he is gay.

As much as I dislike Chaol, this actually turned out to be a great entry to the series. I enjoyed Yrene's POV sections and when Nesryn and Sartaq were fighting the kharankui, and flying the rukhin

This series is so chaotic in the funniest ways.

One of the main plotlines is that the male MC loses his "schlong", and there is also a scene that is a bit disturbing where the aliens attempt to rape Ayase with their weird robotic penises that they created to attempt to procreate and "extract her womb and banana organs"

Takebe and Soramori's relationship continues to blossom and it's adorable! I'm sad that this was the final volume but it was so ridiculously sweet.

This one was pretty funny but I found that I didn't enjoy it as much as some others so it took me a bit longer to get through.

This volume definitely expands on Ayugawa and Kawana's romance and also shows us more about Ayugawa's backstory. The ending was intense though and I'm starting the next volume today!
Content Warnings
Moderate: Ableism, Injury/Injury detail
There are some upsetting things that Kawana's dad says about Ayugawa upon meeting him for the first time and learning that he is disabled.
