My Review:

In the last volume everyone learns that Mr. Arai is involved and they are trying to locate him.  He phones his girlfriend Rena late one night to talk to her when he is interrupted by someone.

Teru and Kurosaki become even closer even thought they still rib each other for fun, etc.  It's so hilarious when they do.  They find out that Ms. Mori is involved too and she has disappeared and she's doctored her resume.

Then Teru is kidnapped by Mr. Arai but he doesn't harm her just ties her up and takes her cell phone.  He messages Daisy on her cellphone to come.  Teru convinces Mr. Arai to untie her and she finds out he's been badly stabbed by Ms. Mori.  He gives her a USB with the original website information before it was wiped out by a virus.  He tells her to hurry and Daisy should be there to pick her up but before she can the phone rings.  It's Ms. Mori and she happens to know that Teru is there and she is poisoning the air with gas.  She knows that Mr. Arai gave her the USB and she wants Teru to give it to her.  Teru plays a trick on her and gives her a cockroach instead.  Ms. Mori gets upset and chases her but loses her at the docks.  Teru was smart because she left her cellphone on the dock with the message for Daisy to find her under water.  Ms. Mori arrives and Teru jumps her from behind and they fall into the water.  They are both fighting but Ms. Mori disappears again and Kurosaki jumps in and rescues Teru by giving her mouth to mouth.  Teru calls Kurosaki Daisy but when she wakes up in the hospital the next day she doesn't remember anything.

They also manage to save Mr. Arai and the principle offers him a job when he gets better but it's not for his benefit.  They manage to come up with what to say to the police when they question him.

Kurosaki buys a pudding for Teru but he doesn't come back into the room but leaves and sits outside.  He finally admits to himself that just protecting Teru isn't enough for him he wants her.  Teru comes outside and she makes him give her the pudding.

Wow this volume is getting more darker in style and the villains are cruel and deadly.

5/5
