Not going to lie, the way this volume was going I was ready to stop reading this series. I like the story mostly being told through the parent’s POV, since in many ways this series is about examining heteronormativity and amatonormativity and how the parents are (unintentionally and sometimes harmfully) influencing and projecting onto their kids in support of those norms. However, it was starting to feel like Mrs. Aoyama’s inner dialogue was projecting so much onto Hiroki, making her own son’s life into her personal BL drama. I was ready to let this series go, but at the end of the book we finally got a chapter from Daigo’s POV. That drew me back in! Not my favorite volume so far but I will continue on!
