Yuri’s plan to become a maid at Keiichiro’s home to be closer to him over the summer doesn’t work out like she thought, resulting in hilarious consequences once summer break is over.

This volume has some great comedy, but it’s starting to feel like Yuri is learning the same lesson over and over again. She does something wacky then realizes that Keiichiro deeply cares for her and she should just chill out about what she expects from their relationship and all these rules. I like them and root for them, but this volume was just okay. I’d like to see a bit more growth from her. 3.5 out of 5.

*This book was given to me in exchange for an honest review.

Saku remembers when she met Iryu as a child and he is starting to have feelings for her. At the school festival, Saku plans to spend time with Haruki but Iryu also wants to see her.

Oh, we’re fully in love triangle mode now. Iyru and Haruki are wasting no time pursuing Saku, who is mildly annoying with her passivity and milk toast reactions. She’s just going along with whatever each guy is doing at the moment. I like her but I’m hoping she’ll be a little more active in all this in the future. The boys clearly have no issue with this. 3.7 out of 5.

Lenni Reviews: “Rainbow Days” Vol. 10, by Minami Mizuno

*This book was given to me in exchange for an honest review.

Mocchi confesses his feelings for Anna before Wataru gets a chance to and Mari feels as if she needs to confess to Anna as well.

We get some of Mari’s backstory as to why she’s so prickly and how she became friends with Anna. It’s emotional but not dark so this series is keeping it’s generally light tone. It’s an easy going YA romance and this volume has some great character interactions. It’s a little Anna centric right now and even though she’s a likable character, I would like to see more from other characters for awhile since it’s been about her for a lot of this. 3 out of 5.
