Summer vacation is over, and it's the start of a brand-new term at Dahlia Academy. Between flower-viewing picnics, studying for midterm exams, and sneaking in secret dates, Inuzuka's school schedule is more jam-packed than ever. But as he'll soon find out, Inuzuka has a much more important problem on his hands...

His best bud Hasuki might still be in love with him, and the feelings she's been holding in are on the verge of exploding!

Summer vacation is over, the second term has started and they're still having their dates interrupted by everyone else as we've become accustomed to. It was actually quite a nice way to kick off the volume, although due to switching to a new magazine there's a bit of a recap. But there's the general carnage and mayhem brought about by them just trying to have a date, that we know and love. 

Maru is determined to dig up some dirt on Persia and bring her down and he comes so close, yet so far. I'm wondering if the day will come when he becomes a bigger threat than he actually is right now.  Inuzuka...well, sometimes I look at him like, what goes on in your head? He wants to take a couple photo at one point in this volume, and I was reading like 'oh yeah, what could possibly go wrong?!'. But Inuzuka does take his first step on the path becoming a Prefect in this volume, studying for the midterms, and the fact he's actually doing it and studying with Perisa and Hasuki indicates how far his character has come in a short while, and how determined he truly is in his goal. 

I have to say, as much as Char constantly sabotaging their dates is funny, yet frustrating, I so love it when she and Inuzuka team up, it's hilarious, almost as much as their childish bickering. There's just something about them grudgingly getting along with a truce that has me chuckling and I fear the day the two of them team up for good and actually become friends. I think it would be terrifying. 

This volume showcased Inuzuka's continued determination and how he's growing as a character, while giving us plenty to chuckle about, sure it wasn't anything we hadn't seen before when it comes to the sabotaged, interrupted dates, the bickering with Char and everything, but it's amusing enough that it doesn't matter. 

However, despite that, towards the end of the volume we had a new situation thrown up. Hasuki's feelings just won't die apparently, I thought this had been dealt with but apparently not. There's a confrontation, and some words are said within Persia's hearing so we end the volume on a little bit of a cliffhanger. Persia actually voicing how she feels about him was a shocker, and I can't wait to see if this will push their relationship forward a little bit more.
