It also looks like Uzaki will the one to try to make something happen. A (100%/Outstanding)

Hana wants to do a little more than just hang out, but she won’t admit it. Elsewhere, Senpai joins a gym and really hits it off with a trainer there, who just happens to have a closer tie to Hana than he realizes.
Well, this one’s more fun than the last one, I can’t fault it on that account. I didn’t look at the back of the book, so the quick pivot from the trainer at the gym being revealed as Hana’s dad got a good laugh out of me (I’m bad at picking up on twists this week).
Really all the heavy lifting is being done by the Uzaki clan this time around, who suddenly go from the ridiculous mother to the entire ridiculous family. It’s a whole new dynamic and I love the way Hana’s love life spurs a massive family meeting that most nobody cares about. They’re the real reason this volume has any spark to it.
This book’s reliance on ‘people talking about two different things at once’ comedy is getting a little overdone, but dammit those cats are so cute, and the way the Uzaki matriarch takes this to mean that Senpai wants to set up a threesome did elicit a chuckle. She only has one joke that they should use less, but credit where it’s due.
Otherwise it’s a lot of the side characters as audience surrogate, complaining about how slow these two are moving in terms of getting together. With no rivals on the scene it IS a little ridiculous. Still, it can just go at its own pace - there’s really nothing wrong with it and nothing outstanding either.
Usual hi-jinx, but definitely aggressively okay. The hyper realistic cat avatar the author uses now cracks me up whenever it shows up - the postscript in the back has the funniest flying eyeballs I’ve maybe ever seen. If the actual story had this kind of energy the book as a whole would probably be a lot better.
The less said about the fan service shot that closes the book out, the better.
3 stars; it was pretty much just good enough. This series’ tone has really been all over the place and I think the author section gives me a pretty good idea why - total burnout. Still, it’s a step back towards its highest points and a fun lazy read, but not much more.

More of a 3.5 star rating;
I really like that in this volume we get to see Uzaki and Sakurai’s friends create and execute a successful plan which causes Uzaki to finally start processing her feelings for Sakurai, and not be in as much denial as she was in previous volumes. I also really enjoyed seeing more of Uzaki’s family, as well as, Sakurai enter a gym and his gym buddies bring out a more cheerful Sakurai-senpai.

Okay, this volume was simply hilarious.
The misunderstanding adds so much flavour to the manga, can't help but laugh. The seed of love has been planted on Hana finally! The Uzaki family is something else entirely. Quite quirky!

This book became a conversation piece when we walked by it at Barnes & Noble for the first time. The woman I was with made fun of it for Hana's unrealistic, ridiculously over the top boob and butt pose intended to be objectified by young boys. I ended up buying it months later because I kept seeing it around at every bookstore I went to.
Hana Uzaki is an easy S Tier when it comes to character design; I love the overly feminine body contrasted with her short tomboy hairstyle and borderline masculine proverbial outfit (I know she wears a skirt but at first glance this particular cover makes it look like she's wearing denim jeans). And her father is easily the worst, most annoying, unfunny character. The story instantly becomes way more intriguing if you imagine Hana as an uber femboy in a gay relationship with Shinichi.
Cost: -$14
Tier list: B
