This series is tending toward the too mild again, but I'm going to round up from 2.5 stars because -- even though they are loaded with cliches -- I like the chapters about Kubo's birthday and the fireworks at a summer festival.
But without some sort of shake-up in the relationship status quo soon, I might find myself drifting away from this series no matter how cute the characters are together.

Aaand we're back to sweetness. With the fan service volume over, I'm glad we're back to the sweet coziness of friendship and getting one step closer to these two admitting their feelings for each other.

Kubo keeps doing her thing, Shiraishi keeps doing his. Literal fireworks occur, less so the metaphorical ones.
If you photocopied Shikimori’s Not Just A Cutie twenty times, you would end up with something closely approximating this manga - still readable, but clearly of lesser quality.
Now that I have my usual grumble out of the way, there’s… not much to say. This is exactly what you expect from this series and precious little else. It doesn’t help that I do not quite get what Kubo sees, as it were, in Shiraishi at this stage of the game.
Shiraishi’s uncanny ability to be imperceptible to most people was a smart hook at the start, but it has dwindled to little more than a mention by this point. I will admit that the photo booth was pretty dang funny though.
Most of this volume is spent celebrating Kubo’s birthday, where the agony of when Shiraishi will give her the present he picked out for her is the major crisis point. And then the fireworks festival, wherein, if you didn’t think a yukata was incoming, you have not read a lot of manga.
The fireworks section is the better part of the book as it brings back the friend group and foreshadows its own drama when Shiraishi leaves his phone behind and then subsequently gets lost in the crowd.
Credit where it is due - the fireworks here are some of the best I’ve seen done on any manga page ever and that two page spread is especially well done for a series that is mostly on the lower end of the art spectrum for me.
It’s got a sentimentality that I really liked and was much more heartfelt that usual because of the artistry. I hate to say it, but Shiraishi’s story about what happened the last time he went to the fireworks landed with kind of a dull thud for me. It’s unnecessary, honestly. We get it - Shiraishi feels alone more than he lets on.
So it goes, Shiraishi seems to think he might be feeling ways about stuff, maybe next volume, maybe not. It’s light fun and utterly inoffensive. This isn’t out to make a big point about things, it wants to be cute and low-key and I can’t say it doesn’t achieve those things.
3 stars - not bad, not amazing, but I do appreciate nailing that one scene. I just wish the others around it had a bit more spark.

This volume focuses on Kubo's birthday and a fireworks show. I enjoyed that this volume brought the focus back to Shiraishi and Kubo with the friends going to the background. There were some cute moments as always and for a series that I normally do not find the art all that noteworthy, this one had some good panels. The chalkboard sequence was super cute too.

Nagisa's birthday and Shiraishi's awkwardness, bad hair days, adorable chalkboard shenanigans (totally stealing that), a firework festival, and end of summer homework.
Seriously, though, that chalkboard thing was brilliant!

If you need a fluffy and wholesome manga about kids growing up and making friends, this is the perfect manga to read. It’s funny and sweet with a bit of problems due to the “invisibility,” but each volume gets better and better as you learn more about the characters!
