 Sunako has never seemed so, well, girly. And thus she begins her volume into reaching her more feminine side, even if she does so unwittingly.

It starts when she innocently asks how to get to Harajuku. The boys tell her, then scramble to catch up with her. When they catch up with her in the fashion-forward district, the boys are overwhelmed by a throng of teenagers who simply adore them.

Unsure of how a pack of rabid junior high girls know about them, the boys and Sunako stop in a shop and buy some outlandish gear in order to become unnoticed. Eventually, they all find out just how those girls knew about them, and they certainly aren’t happy about it.

In the next tale, Kyohei and Sunako are in the midst of a deep-rooted disagreement that threatens to spoil the mood in the house. No matter how Kyohei acts, Sunako just can’t seem to get past something.

In the third story, one the centers on Valentine’s Day, Sunako and the boys are shipped off to a remote cabin where they’ll be left undisturbed. Sunako, though, is a bit disappointed — because she won’t be able to steal chocolate from the gifts given to the boys.

But everyone’s nerves are on high when they begin to hear noises and see blood on their windows. What ensues is far more frightening than anything any of them could have imagined.

In the final story, Sunako goes on a diet. She’s been pigging out lately, so the boys decide to enlist Noi-chan to help. She entices Sunako to come with her as they run around. Sunako, unsure, asks her what they are doing. Noi-chan tells her to shut up and follow, so she does.

In the end, Sunako comes out as a beautiful woman. It’s just a shame that it won’t last.

One thing this volume does really good is with its comedic timing. Although the stories are worthy of one big chuckle, intermittently through them the riffs and puns are all working.
