Meh. I felt bad about how the Sam-soon situation ended, but Serizawa just doesn't have charm to him where I feel like rooting for him. Oh well. One more volume to go!
I wouldn’t say I’m rooting for Serizawa at this point, but I do want him to get his act together and finally meet a person who he’s good for and vice-versa, possibly out of pity. The guy is just a constant churn of missteps.
I would say that out of all his relationships so far, the one with Sam-soon was the one I felt most saddened by as it slowly tanked itself. They were both kind of a mess, but they were a mess that went well together, but both of them drop the ball this time.
There’s not much to say about the last relationship in this volume - it looks somewhat predictable (I have my suspicions about where it’s going on one level) and the princess is so incredibly sheltered that Serizawa comes off more like a parent to her, which is not promising for its longevity (like any relationship in this series is).
Still, one volume to go. Even the faintest glimmer of a happy ending will feel like catharsis at this point, so I’m hopeful for the last volume.
This continues to be a good series, though it is mildly annoying how each volume ends halfway through the story of a girl. Can't wait for the next book.
Transitions between girls felt a bit awkward (honestly though some pages were missing), but the general musings of a college student going through the job hunting process is still a relatable read
