Kazuya seems to be aware that he’s paying for Chizuru’s affection, even if she has moments where she seems genuinely fond of him, but he also crosses the line (not like that) in believing they could be something more. Even with Kazuya’s interest in her well-being, there’s a lot of customer-client-maybe more that gets blurred and, in a better series, would be grappled with a lot more depth. This is actually the best section of the book because it illustrates Chizuru’s calm professionalism at a job that is clearly a thankless hell. It’s pretty believable and certainly not the worst request he could have made, so there’s that. The main action this time is Kazuya’s indulgent request to have a vintage high school date with Chizuru, trying to relive all the memories he never got to make in the first place. Still, much as I hate her, I cannot deny she adds some needed pop to this story. Whether she still cares about Kazuya or not, and this being this type of book she probably does, her methods of involving herself in his life are… miserable. The long-simmering Mami continues to wage her silent war against Kazuya’s many relationships, while Kazuya indulges a lot of fantasy and familial relations get strained to the old breaking point.Īt this stage, if Mami was any more of a foil she’d be sanctioned for Olympic fencing tournaments.
