Finally! Relational progress is made! We finally get a really good glimpse at the inner Kyouhei in this volume.

Kaya is now under a longer term contract with Erde. Something is brewing inside Kyouhei. He doesn't hide things as well as he may wish. His blossoming jealousy is obvioius as she draws closer to her new boss. He wants Kaya to himself and his possessive side comes out.

He disappears for awhile and ends up leaving his family company to strike out on his own. While his purpose is not fully known I could tell one thing is certain. He wants Kaya back! I loved watching and reading as he comes to terms with some of his feelings. He is apparently having a hard time accepting them but he is at least starting to acknowledge them.

Kaya's loyalty is torn between her word and contract and her reputation as a secretary with her desire to assist Kyouhei. She is a very strong character and this creates an interesting mix with Alpha personality Kyoehei. Yet it is a quite, inner strength.

Again, the artwork is wonderful. I really do like how Tomu Ohmi creates the characters. How they stand even speaks volumes! Lots of subtle clues can be seen in body posture. And as a heads up, the ending has quite the manga-steamy adult scene!
