The Story
We are off to Hokkaido for the class trip, but funnily enough, the girls are nowhere to be found! Instead, we begin with Nasa acting a bit worried about flying for the first time, but when he gets on the plane, he realizes that it’s not the fear of flying that he’s scared of! Nevertheless, they make it, and upon landing, they go on a bit of a tour, trying out some food, taking in the sights, and trying to satisfy Tsukasa’s craving for ice cream.
When they return to the school-turned-hotel, we learn that the kids were put to manual labor on the farms. When they come back, they claim to be exhausted, but still have limitless energy. Kurenai asks Tsukasa and Nasa for a favor… to bring them to see the Sea of Clouds. This means getting up at four in the morning to make it there in time before the legendary fog burns off.
When they get there, they realize they left some of their classmates out of the trip, so they ask if they can come back. Throughout all of this, we see flashbacks to the 1100s featuring Tsukasa, as her personal history intertwines with the current story. Our volume ends when a certain someone appears… despite the fact that she should be studying!
Characters
We received some new development for Nasa! While it isn’t anything major, we did learn about a certain condition that he has. While it’s not anything life-threatening or anything deep like that, it did add a new dimension to his character. Outside of this new little nuance, there isn’t much else about Nasa that has changed in this volume.
Even with Tsukasa’s flashbacks, there wasn’t much in the way of development for her either. It was just a clever device to intertwine some more of her past into the current story… even having a few characters hinted at being reincarnations of some of those she met long ago. I would say that I don’t think that’s the case, but we are dealing with a slice-of-life romance story that decided to drop immortality on us as its main plot device, so could these girls actually be reincarnations? Your guess is as good as mine at this point.
Final Thoughts
This volume, honestly, didn’t truly accomplish much in the way of main story progression. It was just another side story that we’ll need to wait to play out before we get back to the most interesting parts of the series. If anything, this served as a bit of a Hokkaido history lesson/tour guide rather than anything else. I still say that I learned about Zangi, and it did encourage me to look up some recipes. Chicken is my all-time favorite meat, and I’m always looking for new ways to prepare it!
For once, I don’t have many final thoughts as this volume was just a chill and relaxed story from cover to cover. It was just Nasa, Tsubasa, and the students in Hokkaido, mixed with the typical comedy and cute moments that this series has been known for. Even Tsukasa’s flashbacks didn’t truly do much to liven the story, even if they were interesting.
It looks as if the trip will continue into the next volume, too, so I would expect another relaxed volume… then again… this series is known for taking side stories such as this and adding something rather spicy in the middle of them. Perhaps we’ll get that in Volume 33? If not, at least we can look forward to more deer dodging!
