i love minami maki and cliche ridiculous moments and laughing about cliche ridiculous moments so if you do too, please read this!!

If you don't feel like forgiving fabulously sexist and classist fantasies, and there are a lot in this volume, don't be disheartened to look elsewhere. I wanted Hikari to finally beat Kei too, but it became clear to me that Minami Maki intends to keep their dynamic because it was what made the series light hearted and comical, so you'll be better off reading Chihayafuru if you're that eager to see a female reign over a guy. The tropes Minami plays here are all for the sake of lols and the feels, so if you can laugh at classism and sexism while being feminist, you're good. For the love of god though, do not be encouraged to act like these characters, who are dorks and literally horrible role models.

anyway, in this volume you'll find a gender swap chapter where you can see minima maki's canon gender bent designs, an age!dynamic chapter where Kei becomes 4 years old interacting with 17 year old Hikari... it was soooooo cute ugh. it's seriously a fun sequel. check it out!
