On the 15th anniversary of the series, we are back for this year’s adventures with Kase and Yamada, who now have the joys of cohabitation to add to the list of pleasures they bring to one another.
I do find it kind of funny how there is a structure that seems to say that we have to have some sort of crisis going on every volume, but I guess we wouldn’t have a story then.
Which I am genuinely fine with - the art here remains beyond reproach, it is so polished and fantastic by now, and seeing Kase and Yamada just being actually happy is more than enough. They’re moving through life and school, figuring out how to be there for one another. It’s perfect.
Anyway, the dilemma is focused on Yamada this time around, which is reasonable enough. I think that most of the time we see Kase causing issues, so this is a nice way to mix it up.
Yamada wants a bed and rings and a lot of other stuff and to cook and work and get taken advantage of by her work. Which translates to her being run into the ground to the point of exhaustion and then a huge fight.
And let me just say, I am on Kase’s side for this one the whole way. Yamada is warned that she’s going too hard, yet doesn’t even consider slowing down. When that suddenly impacts her relationship with Kase, it’s on her.
Not that you have much to worry about; these two are just such a great couple. Like I said, this sort of friction is entirely unnecessary. Have them be cute in different scenarios, it’s plenty. Then again, their making up is also sweet.
I did like the way that Kase has to put up with a first year who looks to be ready to smoke Kase’s own times. It gives her a little something to do outside of the Yamada main plot and the resolution is fun.
This is comfort food, but it is gourmet comfort food. Stellar art, two great leads, lots of chemistry, and tons of romance. It comes out just frequently enough to feel like a treat I get to enjoy once a year or so.
4 stars - they’re great, it’s great, even when it gets enmeshed in drama it doesn’t need. Mikawacchi is still lots of fun too. Same old same, but in a good way.

Adorable, as usual. Nice to see he can take these characters into adulthood while keeping it cute.
