This was really good until the author tried to force a bunch of couples down your throat in vol 3......why the last volume too? I would've been okay if the couples started in vol 1 or 2 and we were then allowed to read on how their relationship would grow. Like Rie x Chiori.....was really out there. Made this whole series a mediocre read. Happy endings suck if they're forced. Angst is always good too. :-)
Well, Rie x Chiori was the only one that didn't have groundwork laid in volume 2. On the other hand, Touko x Akiho is the only one of the three that actually comes off as romantic.
Gray area people gray area. The author didn't give off Rie x Chiori as canon all of a sudden. Rie had reasons for her flare of affection towards Chirori, and Chiori is now gonna start looking in Rie's direction. It's not like they're dating all of a sudden.
Kirika x Miyuu actually seemed most romantic of the three. That one had a lot of hidden development since Volume 1 even so go back and pay attention if you can't see it.
Touko x Akiho seemed slightly odd to me...not really sure where Touko suddenly started looking in Akiho's direction but other than that it seems totally fine.
This was actually a very well done short manga.
