from backcover Their feelings for one another may have started way back in grade school, but is there anything left between Mitsuya and Tsuyu now? And how will Tsuyu's impending arranged-marriage meeting affect Mitsuya's actions? It may be time for the fear "Mitsuya sama" to step into action to get back the girl he loves?
Some points: - last volume in English since TP is shutdown! That's really too bad. Another Banri's series that isn't complete in English. What is the chance that Bery bery will be released in English? Maybe third time is a charm. I'm dreaming, yes, but it's a good one. - This volume is mainly about Mitsuya and Tsuyu. - Their younger selves are just too cute. - Mitsuya is even more immature than expected. He acted like he's mature but he's not really. He acts like a grade school boy hitting/picking on the girl that he likes. Strange. - Tsuyu is so beautiful. - Kimonos. - Tsuyu's father is great. - I've gotten #13 and #14 in Japanese and have looked at them. Will have to look at them some more to guess about details. I hope Lys shares what she knows about them when she looks at the volumes :)
I reread this last night! I think I enjoyed it more on the second read-maybe because I was more prepared for the silly last half of the story? It's still not my favourite part, but the kimono were all very pretty and I enjoyed the glasses-disguises and I also liked getting to see a bit of Tsuyu's dad and aunt, who both really do seem to care for her. Tsuyu's such a darling!
I have VBR 13-14 ordered (I know, I'm slow)!! I will talk of them when I get them, definitely!
By the way, I don't know if you've seen this already, but the Hana to Yume site posted the 8th magazine issue online (the one that came out soon after the march earthquake). You can see a whole chapter of the newest Banri Hidaka series (among others). It's awesome, full of Sugimotos!!

I haven't seen that yet. Thanks. I'll check it out later. Did you see Sean Gaffney's review on volume 12, he gave a summary on vol 13 and 14, but I want more details :) I'll wait patiently :D The Kimono - yes, they are beautiful. And poor Yukari :) fan service :D I like Ageha more and more now.
I saw his review, which prompted my reread of v12, but I didn't look at the second half of his post. I don't like being spoiled too much, so I'll go back to it once I've got the books myself :)
Ageha was such a spaz in v12!! She's a funny kid :D I find her very believable as a high school girl.
Written and illustrated by Banri Hidaka

Bottom line, very pretty art and cute story.
