A bit of an odd mix of short stories. Some of the stories are about the strained relationships between parents and their troubled children and the potential for second chances if both sides talk and listen. Or what the various characters hope to get out of their life. Other stories are at its core cute fan service filler . The stories about parenthood are a solid even if I doubt relationships are that easy to repair. At least they provide some insight in the main characters of the series and their past. The fan service feels a bit out of place and are not for me even if it is rather tame. Still, some great and enjoyable characters mixed in with a bit of melodramatics and character development make for an enjoyable if (relatively) short read.
