Just as much fun as the first two volumes! And, as always, it leaves me wanting the next volume right NOW.

Second time reading:
Yet again I'm wanting Volume 4 NOW. It's not like a cliffhanger or anything... I just really want more.

I really liked this volume because the characters continue with their growth. Sano's and Mizuki's relationship keeps pushing and then a few random characters pop up and make it more interesting. I actually really liked Kagurazaka in this volume, whereas before I was super sick of him. And then Makita adds a very interesting sense of danger to the story which is sometimes lacking. Admittedly, he's not exactly the scariest or most original villain ever, but the scene where he finally attacks Mizuki is pretty chilling.

And then there's Nakatsu and Kyomi. So cute. ( )

The focal point of the third volume is another secret kiss. This time, Sano is well aware of what he is doing, and Mizuki is unconscious and thinks she is only dreaming. Now we have established that both main characters are in love with each other, that neither are aware that the other loves them, and that both are keeping Mizuki's secret which prevents them from fully communicating to each other. Although the kiss is the most important part of this book, the rest of the plot involves the gang working at a summer getaway. Sano's rival in the high jump is a guest, a coworker is an evil scammer who has his eyes on Mizuki, and Nakatsu is still struggling with his feelings for Mizuki. More fun all around. Sweet romance with all the cliches that we want in shojo manga and lots of humor. ( )
