Honest review based on an ARC provided by Edelweiss. Many thanks to the publisher for this opportunity.
This review refers to the 13th volume in this series, if you haven't read the twelve before, I advise you not to proceed.
In this volume, Hana needs to confront with the fact that Takane has declared to have feelings for her. Later on, the whole family goes on a trip to Okinawa with Takane, so they need to pretend to be in-laws.
We've finally reached the actual point of the plot: how are Takane and Hana going to deal with their age difference. I'm glad the writer isn't ignoring it but at the same time, I don't think she'll deal with it in a serious way, and it's not even the purpose of this manga, but she's still dealing with it, which is great.
We don't see much of the other characters in this, although most of them do show up, like Rino and Okamon, for a scene. It's a pity but equally understandable if we're reaching climax as it seems to be the case.
I think this is a manga that has kept a steady rhythm and there's no reason to stop reading now. On the contrary, because the moment to solve the main problem finally has come. As a whole, I think this series started with a better proposal of betraying the clichés but it's kept the lovely characters along thirteen whole volumes and I'm very glad I started it because keeping going was easy.
Rating: 3 out of 5.
