- I had two main problems with this volume: the first was that when our characters run into the main male character's ex, Satomi feels that the ex-girlfriend is amazing and stunning and perfect, and Yagyu basically agrees with her and says that yes, his ex-girlfriend was much better and beat Satomi out in a lot of categories??!? "she is better than you in a lot of ways, but you're my number one!" that had better be a translation issue, because that comment was terrible.
- the second main problem is one that is common amongst other reviewers as well: his little sister's total determination that Satomi should not be in the picture, and how Juri is plotting against her and is absolutely SO POSSESSIVE, which was weird and creepy and too extreme and over the top. There were definitely weird vibes there-- I cannot emphasize how creepy I found the whole situation of how this little sister was obsessed with her big brother. Some reviewers kind of laughed this off or point out that Yagyu's mature handling of Juri shifted the perspective to just that of a bratty little sister. I understand a little sister who would not want to feel replaced by a new girlfriend, but in my opinion this was creepy in a way that some people call a complex.
