THIS IS A LIGHT NOVEL-ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS ANYTHING BEYOND THIS CHAPTER/VOLUME.
----------------------------------------
I was expecting more of a slice-of-life Direction.
Pretty okay volume I guess
Kiyotaka running around keyaki mall and having talks with many characters
Ichinose running around the mall to click pics with all students just so no one suspects her clicking photos with Kiyo
Ichinose really becoming something else

I loved how sad Kiyotaka was not able to get a yogurt maker and kiryuin was probably the first person to see such a face on Kiyotaka

and

BIG Red flags are being raised for Satou and Hiyori ( my angel T_T)

not as good as the previous .5 volumes were but it's fine nonetheless

Sakayanagi's confession was unexpected but I personally think she did it to mess with Ayanokoji's calculation regarding future

It was an average volume in my opinion. Sakayanagi's confession was unnecessary. Glad that Hiyori got some screen time and hopefully something changes about his relationship with kei in the future because its getting pretty boring imo. Unbelievable that some people thought he really devloped feelings for her. The revelation about the expulsion exam in the 3rd arc is something to look forward to.

When he first asked Kei out. It was mentioned by him he wanted to "experience" going out on dates once before going back to the White Room after graduation. So him dating Kei wasn't out of love just him clearing a list of things he wanted to do before graduating. Plus it keeps Kei loyal to him.

It was pretty decent volume and I am glad they finally started to realise that Kouji could be HIM 🙏🏻

This novel become boring after vol 5. So much focus about harem baits and less class battles and mind games.and What is problem with the writer adding new characters that no one cares about instead of developing old characters.also, it's annoying after 26 volumes and we don't see any development in Kiyo character

It gets annoying when girls fall in love with him. Only Horikita is left. The romance wasn't very interesting due to MC's manipulative nature.Y2 disappointing for me.

And with that, the Year 2 arc ends. Many people confuse it. The years in the series are the sagas,and within each saga there are 3 arcs. Arc 2 was from Vol 5 - 9.5. Let's wait what to expect from arc 3 and final.

You didn't understand, and most didn't understand the timeline. Year 2 is a saga, year 1 is another Saga, we are going to arc 3 from vol 10.

no i dont understand what u are saying
if I am thinking correctly a year of school last from April to march of next year
and currently vol 9.5 is at winter vacation i.e in end of December
so this means there's still 3 months left in year 2

The holiday volume they finish the arches. Vol 9.5 ends the 2nd quarter arc, vol 10 starts the 3rd quarter, until vol 12.5 and thus ends the Year 2 Saga.
A school year in Japan is quarterly. COTE follows the same system as Japan, but to make it better visualized, the quarters within the series are separated by arcs.
People get confused by saying that Year 1 and 2 are arcs, but they are sagas and within each saga, there are 3 arcs.

Decent volume. Mostly slice of life and nothing major happened. Though, Sakayanagi's confession was quite unexpected at this point in time. But we all knew she's been interested in Kiyo for a long time now, so it ain't that surprising I guess.

Sudo is turning into the typical shounen protag character with his tremendous growth as a person. He'll probably play a significant role in class B from now on. Kiryuuin and Yamamura had some good scenes this volume. Hiyori also got a lot of good interactions with Kiyo which is always welcome. Her cute short story was a nice little addition. And man, Satou is such a good girl. Hope she's there to support Kei once Kiyo shows his real face. I feel bad for Kei every time Kiyo reveals more and more of his inner thoughts. Hope it'll be a good end for her where she can find happiness even after he breaks up with her at the end of their 2nd year.

We still have no concrete idea about what Kiyo is planning. But Sakayanagi has figured it out and plan to oppose it with all her might. Hope it'll be worth the wait cuz these past few volumes have been kinda boring with no major progress in the LN's main plot. I wonder how many volumes it'll take before the author finally decide to develop Kiyo's character. I'd love to see him show some strong emotions due to some major upset or things not going according to his plan.

I think its a pleasant .5 volume, possibly the best one Iv read. I don't think Sakayanagi's confession was needed, but it already happened. I liked how people are beginning to notice Ayanokoji's real identity, which pushes the story forward.

Did i understand it right that these .5 chapters are basically like filler volumes (but canon) the author might as well wrote a volume later ?
There were a couple things that mattered but nothing that can't be summarized in 2 sentences and quickly mentioned in the next book.
Like, i don't remember the last .5 volume but last (Y1) Christmas was definitely a .5 book as well.

Just a thought, doesn't matter much. Just that i thought this volume was kind of a slog.
Also, is it just me or is it getting kinda depressing lately ? After uninhabited island 2 he was basically all alone on the ship. Just like Christmas in 9.5 here.
Either he gets into class wars trouble or yet another girl confesses to him. But at the end of the day and 8 outta 10 days he frigging alone.
His relationship with Kei is doomed as well. He clearly doesn't feel shit towards her (at all or anymore, did he ever really like her in the first place, don't think so). But the 3 weeks definitely put an unrepairable rift into their 'relationship'.

Furthermore, this more and more feels like he will just quietly disappear, maybe even before the 3rd year ends.
I hope this continues even after school and he frees himself from the white room. I wouldn't mind another 4 years in University and beyond.

@BlueSnow93 The .5 volumes are the holiday volumes. It is the transition volume from one quarter to the next. And they are canonical

Thought so. Still, this volume was pointless.
