Stripped of his wealth and now penniless, Takane has to learn to cope with being poor. He refuses any help from Hana, but she isn’t about to let him brush her off! Takane is as difficult as ever, but Hana sticks by him. Will she finally admit she has feelings for him? (Pub Date: Feb 5, 2019)
I was sure the story would pick up now but not yet. But that COVER, definitely my favorite so far!
For this volume, Takane still needs to cope with losing everything but now he has Hana's help, he seems in a much better state, almost his normal self.
Thanks to that, we had plenty of cute scenes, proving how their relationship has changed, especially when it comes to Hana's reactions to Takane. While this wasn't my favorite volume this was one that made me satisfied with the romance. There's a huge age difference and they're literally strangers to one another in the beginning, so it's always a tricky situation. From this volume, I could clearly see we've gone through the transition from strangers to a very intimate relationship, even if they're not officially in a romance.
More to the end, we get to see more of Nicola and Hikaru's plot, too. Personally, I care a lot more about the main couple, but they are cute. It makes me want to see Nicola break, am I too sadistic?
I know we still have a number of volumes to go, but I'd say the main plot is approaching climax, whatever Shiwasu has saved for us.
Honest review based on an ARC provided by Edelweiss. Many thanks to the publisher for this opportunity.
Rating: 3 out of 5.
