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.
Amy is the name for the bunny. I don't remember when she acquired it... oh, was it in the Mitsu-Yukari flashback when Mitsu made the pattern for the bunny doll? I think she was an amusement park mascot character...
Mitsuya's bomb was awesome. Hahaha. I felt bad for Yukari but I had to laugh anyway!
I wish we did get to see more of Mamoru-chan's adventures. I'm sure they're absolutely fascinating!!
Your last point-yes, ahhhh!!!! That still gets me every time I think about it. I love that scene♥♥

Re Amy: thanks. I need to dig out the series for reread. "... Mamoru-chan's adventures." This! I hope she'll write a spin-off series of Mamoru in college and fulfilling her dream :) that'd be awesome. "That still gets me every time I think about it." Same here. It's a full circle and finally Yukari's abandonment is over. I looked at the V.B Rose Illustrations again and looked at the story inside the cover of Mamoru and Nagare :)
