This was cute but definitely not my favourite so far of this manga series. I loved the little bit of angst that we get at the beginning but it's definitely a cliche in Shojo of a man hugging a women, said love interest walks in and see's it, gets the wrong idea, only to find out it's an aunt/sister/cousin. I have found this in a lot of Shojo and even Yaoi. I mean, I guess it could happen in real life but still unnecessary. 

Also the relationship build between Shu and Aoi is definitely rocky in some places. I really don't appreciate how Shu treat's Aoi and her appearance, especially her physical weight. I don't understand why he is so weight focused or why he continuously finds ways to make comments about it. It's not throughout the volume of course but the few times it happens, it just irks me. And then of course other girls make fun of her for having small globes and that no man would want her because of that! When did this manga become so physical appearance focused...or was it always that way and I am just getting it now. 

And then of course there was Shouto....who I wanted to punch into the next century. Not only did this love sick puppy follow Aoi home, but he forced himself into her home to live with her! And then he would constantly touch her and say she was his! Ummm this is stalkery level shit and no one is worried about this! Like what the heck! Some people called Shouto cute because he literally acts like a puppy. WTF he is literally serial killer material.

Anyways, the ending was super cute. I am liking the idea of where this manga series is going. I am just not a fan of what happened in this volume. There were way to many triggering things and situations that should never be deemed as OK. 

Also Shu better step up his game because as of the moment he does not deserve Aoi!
