I’m absolutely THRILLED we got some canon queerness in the Rascal world - because with so many stories about crushes and relationships, that was a glaring hole in the Adolescence Syndrome morass. Discovering feelings for the same gender is often a huge source of stress, and even though we didn’t analyze things to the same level as a Rascal novel (this is a short story collection after all), we got to see Sakuta approach the situation with his characteristic unexpected grace. That alone is worth the whole thing, not that the other stories are bad, but they’re less Adolescence Syndrome focused and more filling in some anecdotal gaps for the familiar characters.

In this volume, we got 3 side story chapters (that I assume didn’t fit into the main story). The first one did have an adolescence syndrome problem (that gets resolved in the same chapter) but the other two, did not! Which I was glad! I did not come to read this bonus side stories volume for more adolescence syndrome antics. I’ve had enough of those during the 15 volumes of the main series… haha!
But I really don’t think this bonus volume was necessary. The stories were okay at best. We did get some more Mai and Sakuta moments but there once again there were the usual interruptions. Does the author even like Sakuta? Why not let him have an actual romance?!? I know the Japanese are conservative but if they’re in private…why not?! Sakuta deserves love after all he has done for these girls!!!!!!!! lol

that was great, though i had to keep mentally inserting haruna into the last story. i'm not sure why the author forgot to include someone at important as kaede's girlfriend, especially in the first rascal book to include yuri!

Nothing special, just a great curtain call for the characters and the series.
