As always, this manga is very sweet when it focuses on the main couple, and a little discomfiting when it dwells on the will-they-won't-they relationship between the fourteen-year-old student and his adult female teacher.

The main stories this volume focus on the students investigating supernatural urban legends about their school for a school newspaper article and trying to figure out which high schools they will be attending in a year or so. Gentle humor, slice-of-life scenes, and mild drama abound.

Nothing much is going to happen in this series in the foreseeable future, but it is always pleasant to visit with the characters as they tread water in their status quo. ( )
