Yamato and Shuko are the same as they ever were, which is really nice. And somebody finally acknowledges the elephant in the room. But, sadly, you really cannot spell ‘ruin’ without Rui.
The regular stuff is fine. Eating and training and blushing as usual. I cannot imagine what Yamato sees in baseball, mind, as his coach seems like a real piece of… work… and appears to treat his charges as if they were trying out for the self-defence force rather than a high school baseball team.
But I run marathons, so I can’t say much, you know? I just can’t even with people yelling and arbitrarily punishing others for slight infractions and taking it out on the team. Leaves a bad taste in the old mouth, which might be this volume’s theme.
There is some actual consideration of what, precisely, the heck is going on between our two leads when Shuko decides to knit a scarf for Yamato and then decides to adjust it when she realizes it has certain connotations as a gift.
With only two more volumes to go and the utter lack of acknowledgment of this fact for the most part, this does feel a touch late in the game, but I suspect that we’re really going there after all this time. Oh boy. It has not been the most natural evolution, but I guess the seeds have been sort of down and we all had a hunch what we were getting into.
But the real problem this volume is Rui, who has ofttimes been a nuisance to the goodwill of the reader but becomes an absolute volume wrecker this time out. It all starts somewhat innocently when there’s a lot of teenage girl talk about sex, which feels incredibly out of place for this series, but, okay.
The real problem with the real problem is that Rui decides that she needs to size up Yamato, literally, and devises a plan to get him into the shower and sneak a glimpse of his goods. Which is kind of crazy.
Oh, and she also plans to videotape it and share it with her friends so they can discuss his manhood at school. And then tackles him to the ground when the plan goes awry, blabbing about how many children she wants from him. Even Tenchi’s dad wasn’t this bad and he was awful. This was the wrong kind of jaw-dropping you want in a book.
Played for laughs or no, this single-handedly demolished my enjoyment of this volume. It just keeps on going and won’t let up with the awful. Rui is such a waste of pages, she’s always been a bit much but in a slightly more inoffensive way, but here she earns a place in the pantheon of characters who really suck, right next to Yamai from Komi Can’t Communicate.
I just can’t with this one. And problematic age gap incoming aside, there’s a lot of really nice stuff with Shuko’s husband and some other fun bits, but you can’t pick a giant hair out of your restaurant meal without spoiling the whole thing, personally speaking.
2.5 stars - 3 stars everything else, 2 stars (or less) awful Rui chapter. I’m not letting this off the hook, even if I think the 3 star is probably more fair, but that chapter is so utterly misguided and totally out of place amidst the surrounding chapters.

I will give Rui this - she's right when she says that her vagina is part of her body and she should be familiar with it. Then she turns back into a sexual predator and I go back to hating her and her presence in this story, but I will give her that one thing.

We were doing so well. We were doing SO FUCKING WELL, and then Satomi U just HAD to ruin it.
I am genuinely amazed that this series is being ruined not because of the severe age gap romance, but the teenage girl who TRIED TO FILM HER MALE CRUSH WHILE HE WAS NAKED WITHOUT HIS CONSENT. Not only that, but that whole scene was treated AS A JOKE. I'm so fucking sick of this, I really thought we had moved on from that disgusting bullshit, but clearly I was wrong.
There are only two volumes left so I'm gonna finish the series since it'd be ridiculous not to, but damn this series had so much potential and is constantly getting ruined by perverted shit.

December 27, 2024…can you take a selfie with a Polaroid camera?? Does she not have a cellphone to take photos with?
It’s fun, but I’m uneasy that it is leading down a romantic path, which isn’t my preference. Also, although I know it’s the basic premise, it actually annoys me that Yamato eats so much. I hope his family gives her a lot of grocery money…
Why does fried chicken go with rice but roast chicken doesn’t? Isn’t it the opposite?

This was a slower volume and the side character content was pretty bad. I really enjoyed the chapter where Yakumo visits her husband's grave and we get some more moments with her reflecting on her past and her current feelings. I worry that with only two more volumes to go, this is not on track to wrap up smoothly but only time will tell.

great except for one part...
...and that part is the obligatory Rui chapter.
Rui chapters are typically just annoying but this one steps over the line into creeper territory.
Still, the rest of the book is good. Looking forward to the next volume.
