 After the frenzied beginning of this storyline in the last volume, this set of episodes is much calmer, featuring simpler stories. Kazuki manages to use his rapidly depleting magic a few more times (always to help others), so by the end of the DVD he's only got three uses left! In fact, he's getting weaker, which makes him collapse so the girls have to take him to the nurse's office to rest, which gives them time for some loving flashbacks - all three girls are starting to fall for him now (rather than just his super-magic genes!). There's a fun episode where Rin (who is the athletic tom-boy of the bunch) tries to be feminine, so they teach her to cook and have a cosplay fashion show (with hilarious stereotypes!). When Kazuki thinks his parents are coming to visit, everyone tries to create the best eel dish possible to impress them. There's some really funny innuendo when Yuna tries to get over her eel-phobia! Overall, this was a fun set of episodes to watch, but nothing really grabbed me emotionally. I think the characters all have potential, though, and they're definitely cute enough. It looks like Volume 3 (which hasn't been released yet!) involves some sort of scary curse, so maybe a little adventure will make things start to click.
