![]() ![]() Tadano and Komi have some nice moments, but there’s a surprisingly enjoyable ski lift ride later with Ase and Tadano that lets her ruminate on Naruse. Most of what I like here is the character work. The bulk of the story revolves around a snowboarding trip organized by Manbagi, which turns into a rather ridiculous excuse to show off the cast in snowboarding gear (especially the ladies, in case you forgot what you were reading) and for some silly jokes. I begrudgingly admit that I did like one panel that basically draws her like a Junji Ito-style horror, but I have no sympathy for that devil. Of course, Yamai is involved so it immediately gets fouled out. ![]() The first sequence focuses on Komi trying to repay various people for her group birthday girder some time ago and is a cute, if unremarkable, bit of business. “Another volume” really sums this one up in the old nutshell. Then Tadano winds up in the old ‘we have to stay overnight in a room’ trope, but with Manbagi, so it’s actually super adorable. A ski trip turns into a fashion forward event and a chance for her and Tadano to grow closer. ![]() Another volume and Komi is in-Komi-nicado once more. ![]()
