ミントチョコレート [Mint Chocolate] #5
Mint Chocolate, Vol. 5
I'm too busy to spend time with people I don't even like.
She’s a mean one—Auntie Takako. She shows up at Nanami’s house, says rude things to her, and accuses her of doing stuff with Kyouhei that she hasn’t even done (yet)! And on top of that, Auntie Takako’s decided to stick around and watch every move Nanami makes…Meanwhile, Kyouhei’s getting more and more jealous of her cousin Subaru for no real reason (that Nanami can tell). Which means he’s more likely to do something stupid and reveal their true relationship to Auntie Takako! Just how long can they keep up their sibling act before it all falls apart…?!

"Why? I can say all the mean things I want but when it comes to telling the guy I like how I feel, it's the most embarrassing thing in the world."
Not my favorite volume and I think that's mainly because I really disliked how the Aunt treated Nanami, but I LOVED the progress our couple made!! I feel they have made some pretty big strides and was totally here for it! I think my favorite part is seeing Nanami be vulnerable with Kyouhei in her struggle with how her family views them and him having a very smooth and romantic comeback. (Each and every time at that!) Like you go Kyouhei and sweep her off her feet!
Subaru is a sweet kid and liked how he brought quite a good dose of jealousy out of Kyouhei because of it! That probably sounds horrible to say (and it definitely wasn't extreme), but if Nanami is the only one who can make Kyouhei's heart skip a beat, I would love to see more of that happen! LOL! So thank you Subaru because I want to see more of Kyouhei's feelings for Nanami displayed like how it was in this volume! LOL!
While I think there is more growth in Kyouhei as a character overall, I felt Nanami had more growth in this volume specifically. It's hard for me to pinpoint how or maybe if it was just seeing her want to protect "Kyouhei's virtue" (LOL!!), but it felt like she really matured somehow by the end. I'm sure that won't stop her from having crazy thoughts like the whole virtue thing (LOL), but I think she will begin to feel even more confident in her feelings and relationship with Kyouhei than she has before.
I'm sure there will be plenty of shenanigans next volume and I'm excited to see how things unfold!

Another satisfying bite of a rather forbidden sweetness.
Well, these two are either good end up as the best couple in Japan, or they'll end up killing each other! Now auntie has come for a visit, and she's sniffing out hanky any between our favorite (secret) couple! Then another family member figures out what's really going on, but thankfully promises to keep quiet. Things are tough when the person you love... is your step-sibling!

Nanami's cousin comes to visit and that's a whole strange experience on it's own, let alone her aunt. Things get a bit tense as they try to keep their relationship on the downlow, but really, they're about as obvious as a neon sign. Despite being called out on their name usage as well, it doesn't seem like it's sticking, even if Kyouhei seems oddly pleased by the idea of Nanami using his nickname instead of his surname.

This volume was a little confusing in the dialog at times. I think it was either a translation issue or an inexperienced writer issue. Either way there was a point where I was confused as to what was happening. Good story so far just not sure what's going to happen at this point.

Great edition
This book had me laughing. Just as good as the others and the side stories are cute and silly. It's been a fun series so far.
