Go For It Again, Nakamura!

3.25

It's been a long while since I've read the first volume but I am so disappointed in this volume. It felt like we didn't move the story along at all, we didn't really see any advancement in Nakamura and Hirose's friendship, it feels like we're going in circles, and Nakamura was a little more boundary-crossing than I was comfortable with.

Speaking of boundaries being crossed that made me really uncomfortable- Otogiri. The student/adult bit in the first volume wasn't funny but it was a small bit that didn't last long (I think. It's been a while) that was blown out of proportion by Nakamura. This time it seems like Syundei doubled down on the bit where Hirose is obviously admiring his teacher more and this teacher giving off groomer vibes worse than before. All this as a joke. Am I supposed to be reading chapter 8 and going "lol Nakamura, don't worry. It's totally not like that lmao" ?????? No??? On top of exchanging numbers with your 16yd student and saying shit like "If you were a girl, what you just did now woulda been super cute"... I'm failing the see the haha in this joke, Syundei.

If there is a volume 3 (which I think there might be seeing how this ended), hopefully that joke is dead and we actually get to see Nakamura and Hirose be friends more. At this point, I don't even care if they don't go out, I just want to see them hang out more.
