The Story
Fly Me to the Moon Vol. 7 turns the cuteness factor up to eleven… if you could believe that were even possible with a series like this!
The volume is broken down into a couple of small arcs… the first is of Tsukasa experiencing loneliness for the first time after Nasa gets called into his old job to help one of his co-workers that he owed a debt to. Nasa is gone for the entire day and night, getting back home at 4 AM. After coming back, Tsukasa was so lonely that she was willing to take their relationship to first base!
Steamy!
The next arc has Tsukasa dragging Nasa to the movies because she wants to go watch Infinity War. I actually had a chuckle over the title of the chapter as it was used as an apology for censoring all of the Marvel movie titles! After that, we double down on how reliable Nasa is as he helps Kaname fix a vacuum cleaner and then prepares study material for a hopeless Aya.
Finally, Kaname’s mother returns and gives her tickets to a hot spring. She doesn’t want them so she gives them Nasa and Tsukasa. The volume ends with them accepting the tickets and arriving to their private room!
Characters
Nasa and Tsukasa are both developing a bit as a couple in this volume. With Tsukasa experiencing loneliness for the first time, it makes her realize just how special Nasa is to her. They are usually embarrassed doing anything couple-related; however, Tsukasa sure wasn’t shy about wanting to kiss Nasa in bed together! There was also a cute scene where she realized how tense Nasa was during a programming session so she gave him a massage and reluctantly accepted one from him!
On top of all that, Kaname and her usual perverseness did research on different types of kisses and what each one meant. She constructed a list and gave it to both Nasa and Tsukasa who… put it into practice! They didn’t do any of this stuff at the beginning of the series so it’s nice to see them growing as a couple!
Speaking of perverseness, we learned a little bit about Aurora and Charlotte, Chitose’s maids. Charlotte is a bit of an airhead but she’s very “hands-on” when it comes to Chitose. At first, you think that Aurora would admonish Charlotte for being unwittingly forward but she realizes that Charlotte means no harm. She just doesn’t understand what romantic boundaries are… or what even romance is, for that matter. What was a bit surprising was when Charlotte offered to hold hands with Aurora in bed later that night to which she didn’t exactly object to the idea! Of course, Charlotte said she was only kidding but I think we learned a new side about Aurora in the process!
Final Thoughts
Even though this series is like episodes of a sitcom, it’s still nice to see some overall progression with our main characters. It’s about time that they let loose a bit and advanced their relationship! Now, it makes you wonder when they’ll get to second or even third base!
One thing that always makes me laugh is Kenjiro Hata’s commentary throughout the book. He cleverly disguises it as narration but he offers little comments here and there on certain scenes that break the fourth wall. They are absolutely hilarious and really add to the overall entertainment value of the series. I also like how the titles of each chapter don’t shy away from breaking the fourth wall either! It’s like a PG version of Deadpool!
Overall, it was another cute and fun volume of a series that I didn’t think could get any cuter, and yet, this volume managed to pull it off!
