This one went better, I think the mom storyline makes a more interesting storyline than the usual forced engagement.

Aw, I loved this one! I liked Kamijou and Haru's date. What a failure haha! I felt bad for Kamijou. He was trying to finally put the moves on Haru and the most ridiculous things kept getting in the way. Also, it was nice to see the Rumi/Takeru arranged marriage thing resolved. I have decided that I like Rumi. She is a sweetheart. A lot of times manga's love rivals keep trying to ruin things until the very last page, but I liked how Rumi stepped down graciously when she found out that Takeru's heart was given to someone else. It made me wish her happiness on whatever she ventures to do.

Takeru and Kayano's relationship developed in this volume and it was cute to see them hanging out together. Since their parents are getting married in a month, the pressure of them becoming step-siblings is becoming a bigger stress. Gahh, I just want them to be happy. I'm super excited to see what happens in the next volume, since I have a very strong hunch that shit is going to hit the fan. Kayano's mom is acting very suspicious and things don't seem like they'll end well. Especially since their parents are heading home and they are trapped because of the storm.

Confessing to the person you like is never easy, having the attention seeking Edogawa Tekeru know who you like is even worse. Kayano thought high school was going to be hard enough but take on running errands for Takeru and it is almost unbearable especially when their parents are getting married and they have to move in with one another.

I loved the storyline development and growth of the characters. This is a series that I was really excited about reading. The romance does not start at the beginning but it grows stronger because of everything the couple has to overcome and go through. Kayano is a lovable personality and even though most people do not like Takeru in the beginning, he grows on you too.

Note: This review was completed after reading volumes 1-11.

This was a good one. Finally, the nonsense about "rivals" is over, and we can get down to the real issues between Kayano and Takeru. The moments between them on the roof, at her father's grave, and at the beach were all really sweet. Obviously, there are some issues that arise with them becoming brother and sister once their parents marry, but to be honest, it still doesn't seem like that big of a deal to me. But maybe I am missing something, some sort of big cultural taboo?
