"I won't be able to hold myself back forever, so prepare yourself for what may come." The super-serious, pushy high school fashion designer, Chihiro, has officially told average high school student Michi, that he fell in love with her at first sight. Model and designer was how they defined their relationship, but now they're finally a couple. Now that he's her boyfriend, Chihiro-kun takes his doting on Michi to a whole new level! As she's trying to process that, Chihiro's rival designer, Yuna-san, invites the two of them to go on a hot springs trip with him. Michi witnesses a different side to Yuna-san, and she and Chihiro-kun make very, very close contact. How close, you ask? Well, the pair share a mixed-bathing bath and are even staying in the same room?!
More of a 3.5 star rating; I really like that in this volume we got to see a bit more about Yuna and a glimpse into his personality, as well as being introduced to 2 of his friends. Another thing that I liked that was despite some moments where Chihiro could get jealous, he chose to support Michi and help her. Also, seeing Chihiro and Michi spend a night together in the same room, along with Chihiro spending the latter half of Michi’s birthday doing something romantic, were very cute moments.
The art is super pretty, but I'm having issues because the plot feels kind of listless. What happened to the kidnapping plotline from volume 1? What about the photo shoot from the magazine? Am I the only one wondering what's going on???
This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.
Chihiro and Michi go to the hot springs with Chihiro's rival Yuna and two other girls that Yuna knows.
Without giving too much away, Michi sees a different side of Yuna, and her relationship with Chihiro grows, with their last day, sharing the same room.
However, with Mich seeing a different light to Yuna, it is clearly shown, his interest in her grows, making Chihiro uncomfortable.
