My Review:
In this issue we are interested to Asuka's main kendo rival Hajime Tonomine.
In the first chapter Ryo is volunteering at day care and has asked Asuka to help out. This section was very hilarious with Asuka's fatherly activities with the kids. Laugh out loud hilarious!
In the second chapter Ryo and Asuka go to an amusement park together. This should be a romantic outing right? How wrong you are! Asuka has to deal with a love-sick suicide bomber!
In the third chapter Asuka turns into a detective. Juta has three girlfriends who ask Asuka to find out if Juta has an extra-special girlfriend. They become suspicious when he's too busy for them.
In the fourth chapter we are introduced to Hajime who has a rivalry with Asuka. Asuka has always beaten him in kendo so that aggravates him to no end. When they bump into each other in the street they find out they have more in common then they think.
5/5

This sounds like a very silly/funny book. I am particularly intrigued by the Asuka's fatherly activities. I'm not so sure about the idea of a love-sick suicide bomber.
It sounds like there is a lot going on in this manga. Not sure this one is for me, might try it eventually. Thanks for the review :)
