Wow, this volume was a step-up in both the mystery and development of characters.

We finally get to meet more of Kiyotaka's family, like his grandma and his little brother figure, Rikyu. Oh, and more of his family's back story.

I really enjoyed how Aoi and Kiyotaka's relationship is developing, they are both so clueless and cute. It is so fun to see everyone around them realising their feelings for each other while they remain clueless about them. I love the butterfly-filled stomach moments in this volume, they are really something else.

We got to see more beautiful places in Kyoto. I ought to make a list of all the amazing places Aoi visits for when I visit Japan (which will hopefully happen).

Again, the translation was really impressive.

Can't wait for the next volume!
