Love Roma 3

Hoshino is ready to take his and Negishi's relationship to a whole 'nother level as they start their second year in high school. What this elevation in commitment really entails is Hoshino asking to touch Negishi's boob! Negishi also finally gets to meet her boyfriend's parents and she can see especially in his mother where he gets his "eccentricities" from. Also, Yoko, the girl with the sucker constantly in her mouth, and Tsukahara, begin their first clumsy fumblings at going out, even though neither of them are the best communicators in the world. The whole gang goes on a trip to O Island, where Yoshitsune's uncle runs a bed and breakfast beach resort. When they arrive they are disgusted to find out they're going to have to work to pay for their rooms! Goodbye beach! Goodbye vacation! Love Roma continues its charming love story even though Hoshino is starting to creep me out a bit with his strange desires and slightly aslant view of the relationship. The book is still funny, and I especially enjoyed the chapter that focused on Yoko and Tsukahara, two characters that shine in their unaccustomed starring roles. The episodic content works for now but I could see how it could get old after multiple volumes. That won't be a problem if you can just chill out and have a few laughs with these wacky characters and not worry about plot advancement or character evolution.
