You can just tell from the second she’s mentioned obliquely that this is coming.Īnd yet, they do much more with her than is needed. Jury’s still out on Hinako’s friends, though they do get some interesting conversation and use from them this time out, but I think we can safely say that Fuuka, Asahi’s supposedly “only” friend is a potential problem. This’ll take a moment, is what I’m saying. She and Asahi definitely have their cute moments and they help one another on their journeys, but not for nothing is Hinako recoiling when she’s the one making advances strong than she thinks she should. Hinako’s problem is that she’s a lesbian and doesn’t seem to want to realize she’s a lesbian. What becomes obvious is that after they lost their family, Asahi did her best to be there for Subaru, but she achieved this by sacrificing everything deemed inessential, including romance, which she’s clearly never considered before (I doubt we’re going the ace route here, but Asahi does kind of strike me as a little asexual at times). However, Hinako and Asahi are definitely an ‘at their own pace’ sort of couple and we start to get an inkling of why shortly into this volume when Subaru makes a very pointed request for Hinako to free Asahi. Watching her sneakily (or obviously, but to oblivious characters) play matchmaker is so much fun and the best moment of this entire book is when she “explains” how our leads met. Subaru runs away with this book, which is saying something given the strength of all the characters involved.
Instead we get the slow burn of potential romance and the amusing interjections of a snarky student who knows better than her betters. And while Hinako is coming to terms with things, an old friend of Asahi’s decides to make herself known again.Ībsolutely no doughnuts were discussed during the making of this volume. Hinako and Asahi have transcended the workplace to become actual friends, but where do they go from there? They’re both strangers to love, as it turns out, just from very different places.
