In terms of moving the plot along this volume was a 5/5.

WARNING: This review has spoilers

While on a trip to the aquarium with Takahiro and his family, Misaki talked nonstop with Manami about Usagi and the things they did for each of the Christmases they lived together. He talked about Usagi with so much affection that Manami figured they had to be more than just housemates. When she commented that they acted more like lovers Misaki freaked out and ended the conversation immediately, taking Mahiro to the gift shop instead. While there he noticed some bears and absentmindedly called out to Usagi. Manami noticed this but doesn't say anything. When Misaki got home he realized that he had been feeling uneasy all day and it was because Usagi wasn't with him. He even had a nightmare in which Usagi told him that they shouldn't be together anymore. Usagi woke him up and told him that there was no possibility of him ever saying that and he loved him more than he knew.

In the next act, Misaki went to his brother's house to drop off a large stuffed bunny for Mahiro (that he got from Kisa). While having donuts with Takahiro and Manami, Takahiro then told Misaki that he should start looking for places to live since he would be moving out in just a few weeks. Misaki tried to change the subject but Takahiro wouldn't let it go and even started yelling at him about being too dependent on Usagi. He thinks that Misaki has become spoiled and just doesn't want to leave the luxury of the apartment he's currently staying in. This leads to Misaki to blow up at him before quickly apologizing then leaving immediately. Manami followed him to the train station and point blank asked if he and Usagi were dating. Misaki started to have a mild panic attack and fled the situation.

When he got home he tried to avoid telling Usagi what happened but eventually told him that Manami knew about them. He started freaking out again but Usagi is able to calm him down long enough to reassure him that no matter what happens he was going to stay by his side. He also tells him that Takahiro would never hate him no matter how he felt about their relationship. In the end, Misaki realized that he handled the situation with Manami poorly and needed to set things right. He then admitted that he couldn't continue to ignore the situation and needed to have a face to face conversation with his brother as soon as possible.

This series never ceases to amaze me. I hope that I get to see his conversation with Takahiro soon.

В последних томах резину, конечно, тянут, и это уже начинает подбешивать. Надеюсь, в следующем томе история с жильём Мисаки и объяснением с братом как-то сдвинется, а то уже сил нет 🙄🤪
