Shimada looks rather young and cool (?). It took me thrice for me to figure out that it was him when i read the raws. 

http://vatoto.com/reader#482ca88acc9ac65a_10math... math doesn't work that way... please someone... tell them that Math doesn't work that way.

Interesting how Shimada doesn't fawn over Akari the first time he meets her. Literally every guy has pointed out her beauty.

It always just overwhelms me when there's suddenly a whole volume of this.  I am so deliriously pleased and it's great as always.

Almost enough to overwhelm my inner stickler for picky details.  Almost.

With the kind of flow you see in this series, I ain't even worried. Whatever happens, I think she'll end up happy.  God though, the image in my spoiler below was absolutely savage, Hina. Poor, poor Rei. With how ultra-specific it is, you almost have to wonder if she did it on purpose. Hang in there, buddy... It's certainly worth it to win her over. She's so freaking adorable these days. Not that she wasn't before. At least Rei got her to see his reliable "adult" side. Her respect for him definitely increased.

Lol I know! When I first read it I straight up thought, "HINA YOU KILLED THE MAN!"

It's time for Shimada x Akari! 

It's actually a reference to the english idiom "March comes in like a Lion, and comes out like a lamb."

 

Is there anyone who knows Japanese who can tell me why it's "March comes in like a Lion"? Shouldn't it be "March's Lion" or something? Is it just for style or what?

My guess is they wanted the translation to be close to the idiom "March comes in like a lion, goes out of a lamb" Essentially bad weather will become pleasant eventually

Dobashi was pretty creepy in his solo chapter but he looked like a really nice guy in the Satsuma arc that I've come to like him

Oh boy. I honestly don't know how to feel about this- but- but- /heavy breathing/ I TRUST UMINO-SENSEI'S JUDGEMENT!!! /throws anxiety out the window/
 
Btw, we already got two episodes, pretty good visuals and pace for now.
