Mizuki is a shy girl who's about to enter high school, and vows to open herself up to new friendships. Of course, the four stars of the boys' basketball team weren't exactly the friends she had in mind! Yet, when they drop by the café where she works, the five quickly hit it off. Soon she's been accidentally thrust into the spotlight, targeted by jealous girls. And will she expand her mission to include... love? 

We pick up from last volume's cliffhanger with poor old Mitsuki who passed out. Aya has taken good care of her and we get to see some of what life was like for him after they separated and I do admit...I have now softened towards him a little bit. But I still want to whack him a few times. Things are moving along in the romance department, as Towa makes an interesting statement and basically....it's all set to kick off at the school festival. 

Cosplay abounds at said festival, and it's varying degrees of hilarious but none of it is as funny as Ryuji trying to have a heart to heart with Towa about his feelings. Awkward. 

The bickering between Towa and Aya never ceases to amuse me, nor does Towa's friends epically failing to eavesdrop on them. Honestly, they're such a bunch of idiots. 

As you can probably tell, this volume has plenty of humour and I was kind of on the edge of my seat waiting for Towa to do The Thing....and I may have cheered when he finally did. 

As of the end of this volume, everything's out there with both Aya and Towa and now the real competition can begin, I guess! Aside from that, we get more background on Aya and his feelings, and we get to see some more hilarious scenes with the group.
