The Story
This volume takes a detour (as this series is so good at doing) from our main story to explore what Mishio had said to Kaguya at the end of the previous volume. Here, Kaguya couldn’t fully comprehend what Mishio had said, so she turned to Nasa for some advice. On the flip side, the girls continue to pester Tsukasa about making a love documentary, but when she shoots them down, Mishio takes the opportunity to talk to her one-on-one. Here, we see a few panels of them having their respective conversations, while flipping back and forth between them.
Once they both receive the advice they need, Mishio and Kaguya confront one another. Meanwhile, Jessie realizes that she misplaced her phone and heads out to search for it. She recalls meeting Kaguya on the school roof to check out the scenery, and that’s where she felt as if she had left it. When she arrives to get it, she catches Mishio and Kaguya mid-conversation, then realizes what’s happening. Something else triggers in her head, and she begins to worry because she suddenly doesn’t want to see Kaguya end up with anyone!
This brings us to the Sauna Showdown between Mishio and Jessie! It was about to get serious when Aya intervened with the expected craziness that you would expect from her. However, that only holds for a bit as Jessie and Mishio continue to draw battle lines with one another… and now they have to co-exist on a class trip that will involve Nasa and Tsukasa, because the school realizes just how valuable Nasa is and wants to coddle him with perks! Next time, we will see the trip begin.
Characters
So, this is a classic love triangle between three of our supporting characters. We have Mishio, who is in love with Kaguya, and Kaguya, who doesn’t understand what Mishio means by her feelings, which is why she seeks out Nasa for advice. Then, we have Jessie who feels a twinge of jealousy when she witnesses Mishio’s full confession, but then she wonders why she’s jealous, to begin with… and thus, her secret feelings for Kaguya are born.
In both cases, we see a bit of a flashback as to when both Jessie and Mishio first met Kaguya. In Mishio’s case, she was just walking along when Kaguya spotted her, told her to freeze, then plucked an Asian Murder Hornet out of her hair with chopsticks. In Jessie’s case, she met Kaguya in middle school when she adorably couldn’t reach the book on a high shelf in the library, so Jessie helped her out. In both cases, it was love at first sight for them, but it just took Jessie a LOT longer to realize it, whereas with Mishi, it was instant.
Meanwhile, Kaname dishes out some advice to Nasa about coddling his wife because Tsukasa caught him talking to Kaguya about love advice, and while Kaguya thought it was great that his students were coming to him because they trust him, she warned him sternly to never take advantage of that trust! It was funny because when Nasa tried to pour on the compliments, Tsukasa instantly knew he was only doing so because Kaname mentioned something to him! A wife’s instincts are scary!
Final Thoughts
So, it looks like we will be exploring this three-way love triangle between Jessie, Mishio, and Kaguya some more, which means our main storyline has taken another backseat respite for now. Perhaps, we’ll get to see the conclusion by Volume 650 at this rate. Despite that, I found this little side story adorable. Kaguya, for as aloof as she is, was quite cute. Her misunderstanding of what Mishio meant, seeking out advice, all while still remaining scientific about everything, but in a more cutesy way, was pretty charming.
Mishio was just the typical “should I or shouldn’t I?” scared teen girl who eventually mustered up the courage to put it all on the line. Jessie, on the other hand, was still the rambunctious tomboy who suddenly had an epiphany about everything, and when she did, it was rather adorable in its own right… even if she couldn’t fully accept what her feelings could possibly be… but going on to become a love rival with Mishio was endearing in her own special way.
Overall, it was another lighthearted and relaxing volume. That looks to continue into the next volume with this trip to Hokkaido; however, I don’t think it’ll be a tame one. With all of the girls involved, I’m sure that we’re going to be treated to a tornado of noise and awkwardness.
