Again with the two major plot threads, tying back into earlier, briefly introduced characters (also cute girls, this did originate as a visual novel game after all). Overall, the tone of this volume was a fair bit more serious (relatively speaking) and almost approaching normal slice-of-life, rather than the consistently extreme antics of earlier volumes. Again, still quite enjoyable, and it has me looking forward to the final volume tomorrow and then the anime, but I really don’t have much else to say about it.
