It's the start of senior year for Komi and Tadano, which means meeting a whole classroom full of new characters and then veering into a school-wide dart-gun battle that fills the rest of the volume with, y'know, shenanigans.

This is a fine entry in the series as far as entertainment goes, but it does drive home that the series feels like it has already reached its conclusion in the last few volumes and now we just have a very long epilogue as Komi finishes reaching that arbitrary goal of 100 friends. It was supposed to be the hook of the series, but now it feels like the biggest liability, dragging us along for no good reason and causing yet more one-dimensional characters to pop up on the pages.

We reached the peak, and I worry that we can only go downhill from here. But, yup, there are five more volumes already published in Japan. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. One more year of all the same holiday tropes, then graduation, time jump, and marriage??? I hope that is not the weak sauce the author has in mind. ( )
