Finally some progress on the main relationship! I've been really bummed about Nakatso, he is probably my favorite character and he gets heart broken so many times.

As if I haven't had enough romance reads the past few days....

Ewan ko. Pero kinikilig na ako sa lead characters. I'm not rooting for anyone else for them na.
I guess there really is a reason why two characters are fit for each other.
I don't know if Mizuki got worse, or Sano got better. Hahaha!

There were some side stories of the other characters.
Good, but not great. Conflicts were not conflicting enough for me.

But, overall, I still love this 3-in-1 volume!

It's the nature of parents to forgive their children even if they turn out to be serial killers.
It's called love.

This series can be so extra sometimes but it does such a great job at making the characters feel “real”.
Nakatsu’s mom was a riot!!! Lol I love that lady. I also adore Nakatsu. He’s so neurotic but he owns it! Lol
And Nakao..and his feelings for Nanba. I love Nakao. He’s a fiery little dude lol. It hurt to see him get his heartbroken. Unrequited love sucks but he’s going to make it through this. I just know it!
And FINALLY AT THE END OF THIS VOLUME…the moment has happened!!!! Mizuki’s love isn’t like Nakao’s! It’s reciprocated!!!! Now just to tell Sano that she’s a girl (even though he knows!!!! He’s known since vol 1!!!! LOL).

*4.5/5
(SPOILERS)
I really enjoyed reading these three volumes! I absolutely loved seeing both Sano and Mizuki blossom into such brave and patient characters. I'm so excited to see what comes next, especially since their romantic feelings are starting to strengthen and Mizuki's secret is starting to unravel.

I had to skip most of the book cuz I’m just here for the romance but it’s so hard to find 😭. Hopefully next one has more cuz it’s last one in series (I am reading it all for 2nd time but just can’t remember)

This is a far as I get in this series so this rating is 4 the whole series.
Too sweet for my liking! yeah! the whole thing about she going undercover in order to meet her idol.. was good, and he just guarding her secret and and taking care of her was good too... but waaaaaaaay too sweet for my liking!
