Review:
This series is very clearly nearing it's end, as two
characters get some kind of closure for their crushes. I've liked
most of the characters in this series, but some of the romantic
feelings never worked for me. Quite a few of them,
actually—particularly the ones in this volume.
(Aside from the end of the date between Raku and Chitoge, of course.
That was rather adorable.)
Haru has particularly been very meh to me, both as a character and a
romantic option. She's just seemed like a younger version of her
sister, who is better and got more character development.
The main things that's bothered me about Tsugumi, on the other hand,
is how strong she's always portrayed (supposedly, at least—but
let's not get into that), and yet she's always embarrassing and
hurting herself around Raku, being “forced” to rely on him. It's
just unnecessary and annoying.
On the bright side of this, we also got a bit of time between Ruri
and Shu, whom I actually like together. I really like when Shu gets
serious, since it barely happens and it's always done so pointedly
and so well, like at the end here.
This was a good volume for side-romance endings. I'm looking forward
to getting to the more important ones and seeing what happens there.
