----------------------------------------
Last volume ended at quite the high note, sadly this one looks to be spiraling out of control in its final moments. I keep trying to separate my emotions from this game of feelings going on, I’m trying to look at it as a game, with people of interest and winners. In that sense I can root for Sugawara doing something crazy and driving a wedge in a sweet relationship that has been worked on since the start of this manga. But I really can’t do it. This one just hurt to read a little bit.

While Kazusa was trying to buy sexy underwear for Izumi, Sugawara was trying to close in on him. After the situation in the train she chased after him and offered what we probably all expected. Back when he went to her for advice on the new relationship I was hoping there wouldn’t be the cliche of sex friends to practice for the real deal. But that’s what Sugawara offered. She offered, reminding us how cold and calculating she can be, and in that frantic moment I thought to myself that, I couldn’t blame Izumi if he agreed. I remember what it’s like being his age. It’s hard to see outside of yourself and truthfully it’s rare that any relationship at this age will last. Not many people like Izumi would have the willpower to stop Sugawara’s advances.

Yet, as if the train going by in the back was enough to knock some sense into him, he saw through the conniving and honestly creepy Sugawara and declared resolutely, “I don’t”. That kind of bold and cool and admirable response and level-headedness got so much respect from me, that’s the kind of response I would hope to have as well. It honestly hit Sugawara hard, in a way we’re not used to. It’s like, everything she knew about men was rejected and Izumi didn’t follow his carnal desires, which she spitefully mentioned she totally felt. I think that hurt her a lot though. As for Izumi, as great and strong as he was, he obviously felt incredibly conflicted. As if he called Kazusa in guilt, unsure why he felt the way he did. Even if he didn’t agree, the proposition hurt the relationship.

Hongou on the other hand was caught by Sonezaki, and that snoop feeling something was up caught a taxi along with her man and tailed them! Hongou is honestly an inspiration to me, not in her aspirations but in her guts and determination. She is a character with such vulnerability, yet she faces her obstacles and her goals and charges forward, embracing the difficulty that comes with them, even if it gets her in over her head constantly. She doesn’t know how to stop. And her human weakness on top of that drive is a reminder that I can do that too. However, past that side of her, the sentimental side came out too and it honestly made me tear up. She reflected on how far she’s come, how she started for writing practice and now it’s something more yet, either way, in her eyes it’s a dead end. She can’t win, and she’s resigned to that. The no underwear plan is, in a sense, her last stand. Despite knowing that it won’t amount to victory, she wants to astonish Yamagishi, she wants to make sure that this person she likes doesn’t forget her, ever. And that is sad and romantic and I wasn’t expecting something so beautiful.

Everything seems to be culminating into something frightening, something Kazusa describes as scandalous, that something lurking in a deep hole is about to burst out. It’s set up something ominous. Sugawara isn’t responding to Momo’s text and instead that guy she’s been trying to get away from wanted to meet up with her in similar phrasing to Momo’s texts. That must have made her feel like he felt a similar way as she did, it makes me think of Kazusa and Sonezaki saying that boys are sensitive and have feelings too so communicate. But in the light of the story, it makes me scared that it won’t end up nice. Meanwhile, Sugawara is a wildcard, I don’t know what her next move is but if she really needs help I can believe she’d head to Saegusa. And Hongou has officially entered the cheap love hotel with Yamagishi and Sonezaki and Amagi have arrived right behind. Whatever is going to happen next is going to be chaos and it’s appropriate for Kazusa to be so unaware as she is in a world of her own right now.

Lastly, I couldn’t fit it in above, but Sonezaki’s line about seeing Amagi and Jujo differently now, as well as the world, as if it were a fairytale world hiding inside the same cover as the real world was pretty.
