This is an excellent Volume as it focuses most on Komi and her existing relationships with Tadano and Najimi, instead of introducing lots of new characters.

The start of exams, summer break, a pool visit, and the Summer Festival are excellent backdrops to Komi's progress in learning how to exist with friends and how to express herself.

Some cute moments, and some vile (thanks, Yamai) intervowen between chirps of the cicada and the wistful feeling of Summer.
