The plot thickens...

Student Affairs starts things off right in the thick of yet another misunderstanding that could wreck Yusaku Godai and Kyoko Otonashi's budding romance (this time, Kyoko's to blame... well, maybe Shun... or Salade, the dog). Yet again, Yusaku finds that he needs time alone to think and, when he returns to Ikkoku House, has a confession to make... but did he make the right choice? Kyoko decides to take a trip to clear her mind, but has a straggler trying to meet up with her at every turn (only to fail constantly through near misses). Later chapters see the return of Yagami, back to win Yusaku's heart by any means (and willing to use crafty Yotsuya to do it). Once again, Rumiko Takahashi manages to keep fans on edge with romantic tension thick enough to cut whilst keeping the details light, airy, and fun. She also adds more insight into Kyoko's character and why the young widow is so hesitant to follow her heart (whereever it may lead). Only one question remains (well, for those who didn't read the series in its first run)... will Shun's training pay off (aww, how cute)?
