Still cute. Apparently the most problematic pieces I remembered were from the spin off series, whoo.

I have to say that I wasn't entirely convinced by this series from the beginning, but it definitely grew on me. I'm really glad there is a sequel about Souichi and Morinaga, because I find their relationship a lot more interesting than Tatsumi and Kurokawa's, although they are adorable. The best part of this book was the ending though, which was absolutely hilarious - I love Kurokawa's mom, and Isogai is wonderful, too. So yes, this is really enjoyable and fun to read.

3.5 to 4 stars. A sweet funny read with lots of the usual crazy antics for this series. Surpising character development on Souichi's part. I enjoyed it.
