Utsumi and Kurokawa are headed for a Christmas reconciliation, until they’re not. Kurokawa’s ex-boyfriend is there and serves no purpose. Then Utsumi is feeling bad for himself and Shou saves the day, but don’t worry, Onuma and Tsukasa are on hand to compound GE’s own particular brand of human misery.
Utsumi sucks and deserves no happiness and the girls are all more interesting (okay, most of them) yet continually get dumped on by the script and the author’s own predilection for using them as sex objects (the between chapter cheesecake is even WORSE this time out than last time).
That’s the takeaway. I am forcing myself to finish this series because I am, apparently, as masochist. Kurokawa has made herself quite clear, or not, but either way it’s unfair of Utsumi to just badger her into answering him.
Then again, it’s unfair of Utsumi to take up with Shou instead and for them to hide it until they just don’t and this book seems hell bent on making Shou seem like a bad decision when she’s literally been the nicest of anybody to Utsumi to this point.
There’s nothing in here to make it feel like the ending is in any doubt, but the story isn’t doing any work trying to convince you that Kurokawa and Utsumi should ever get together. Kurokawa’s point that they’ll just break up again is the most unexpectedly on the nose thing in this book.
Then there’s the Onuma section. She’s always been my least favourite character, but the way she just assumes that if Utsumi isn’t dating Kurokawa she’s got a shot (based on, you know, nothing) is grating. And it also leads her into a sketchy situation where she’s (spoiler) molested and nearly sexually assaulted.
What makes this even worse is that Tsukasa sees this happening and not only lets her go off with the guy, but doesn’t intervene until things have gone way too far. The nasty, vile subtext/text of this scene is that he’s holding back until Onuma has ‘learned her lesson’ and it’s just crass as hell.
1.5, which I will generously round up because Utsumi and Shou spending time with one another’s families is actually a genuinely sweet and fun moment in a book that lacks for both more often than not. Two volumes to go and I swear I’ll make it, but this feels more like penance than anything I’m enjoying. A huge step down from last volume.

In general, the series is pretty cute. There are major up and down swings in my mood while reading this. Sometimes everything is happy and adorable, but other times I get frustrated with the characters because they don't seem to be thinking through anything at all.
