A few months have passed since Masahiro Setagawa revealed his true feelings for his teacher Kousuke Ohshiba (a.k.a. the Bear Killer, infamous destroyer of punks). But there's no way things will stay nice and peaceful for this pair! And when Kousuke suddenly says they should break up, Masahiro's world is turned upside-down! 

As you can tell from the synopsis we have a nicely handled time skip of a couple of months, it was very smoothly handled off the page. Poor old Masahiro is struggling a bit adjusting to being in a relationship and to my great amusement he's gossiping and looking for advice from Hasekura. 

Alongside Masahiro adjusting to being in a relationship and everything it comes with, there are some cute moments between the two of them, but we also get a glimpse of how Masahiro became Kousuke's underling. Along with more insight in to Masahiro as a character and his past and how he grew up. 

We also get to meet some new characters this volume. Kousuke's friends and they're definitely an...interesting bunch. One of them is Hasekura's older sister who's married to a cop who seems a bit...shady. Like he's good intentioned but he doesn't seem serious enough to be a cop. Thanks to them Kousuke gets to thinking a little bit, and we learn that he wants Masahiro to make friends and know that there's more than one place to belong. 

This volume gives us cute moments, but it also gives us a few ups and downs, as well as some dramatic moments. Hasekura has become Masahiro's agony aunt against his will, he goes to him for advice and to talk things out and while Hasekura is grouchy about it which had me laughing, I do think he does actually care. Deep, deep down. After the introduction of Kousuke's friends I'm intrigued to see more of them, although I suspect they're going to cause some trouble in the future. While this volume does end happily and there's no major incidents we already had some slightly angsty moments as our couple figures out their relationship......and I'm sure there's going to be plenty more.
