Status Updates From Tsubasa: Those with Wings, ...

Kotobuki and Raimon are so cute!! And Raimon gives me Usui from Maid Sama vibes haha

Probably 2 stars for this one. I wasn't comfortable at all with the way the sex aspects were handled. Also, the story got a bit hard to follow - robots, Raimon's nemesis (and past romantic rival?), more robots, some environmental stuff that doesn't hold up to any actual thought. I wish it were a little easier to tell some of the characters apart - I mixed up Kaede and Raimon a couple times.

"Colonel Hil Gil."

Oh man. I've seen worse names, but still.

Kotobuki has encountered an Ayame-type character. She's less than thrilled.

Kotobuki is getting a lot more "close romantic relationships require sex" pressure in this volume, and I hate it.

Kotobuki's speech patterns have totally changed, so I checked the translator, and yes, Tokyopop used a different one. I guess no one thought it was necessary to make the transition less obvious.
